Enter your mileage and driving style — get a checklist of what's due now, due soon, and coming up, with mainstream intervals for each item.
Based on mainstream service intervals. Your owner's manual schedule for your exact vehicle always wins.
- Brake inspection (pads, rotors, lines)OK at 48,000 mi
Every 12,000 miles · EV/hybrid pads last longer thanks to regen braking, but rotors can corrode from light use — inspect regularly.
- Wiper bladesOK at 50,000 mi
Every 10,000 miles · Really a 6–12 month item — replace when they streak, chatter, or smear. Sun and ice shorten their life.
- Engine oil & filterDue now — verify history
Every 7,500 miles · Many modern cars on synthetic oil go 7,500–10,000 miles; short trips and towing count as severe service.
- Tire rotationDue now — verify history
Every 7,500 miles · Rotation evens out wear — EVs wear tires faster due to weight and torque. Check pressures at the same time.
- Engine air filterOK at 60,000 mi
Every 30,000 miles · Dusty roads shorten the interval. A clogged filter hurts power and economy.
- Cabin air filterOK at 60,000 mi
Every 20,000 miles · Replace sooner if airflow from the vents drops or you notice musty smells.
- Brake fluid replacementOK at 60,000 mi
Every 30,000 miles · Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time (roughly every 2–3 years), lowering its boiling point.
- Engine coolantOK at 60,000 mi
Every 60,000 miles · Long-life coolants can go 100,000 miles or 5 years — follow your manual's time or mileage limit, whichever comes first.
- Transmission fluid serviceOK at 60,000 mi
Every 60,000 miles · 'Lifetime' fluid still degrades; towing and hills call for the severe interval. EVs have no multi-gear transmission to service.
- 12V battery testDue now — verify history
Every 15,000 miles · Batteries typically last 3–5 years (EVs still have a 12V battery). Free testing at most parts stores; replace proactively before winter.
- Wheel alignment checkDue now — verify history
Every 15,000 miles · Check yearly, after hitting potholes or curbs, or if the car pulls or the wheel sits off-center.
- Spark plugsOK at 90,000 mi
Every 90,000 miles · Iridium/platinum plugs commonly last 60,000–100,000 miles; copper plugs far less. Use your manual's spec.
- Serpentine / accessory beltOK at 90,000 mi
Every 90,000 miles · Inspect for cracks and glazing at every oil change after 60,000 miles; a snapped belt stops the alternator and water pump.
