Car Maintenance Checklist

[the_wildthing]

I lifted this from the Corolla manual (1998).



HTH

Syempre dito sa Pilipinas clean air filter, change oil and oil filter every 5K.

R = Replace
I = Inspect, and replace if necessary.

Question from a lady driver.

Can you give me a "checklist" on what and how to maintain my new car? It's an Altis. Gusto ko syang i-maintain ng maayos para ang resale value ko tumaas in case na ibenta ko sya.

Can you help? Thanks.

Meron ako dito simple checklist (Excel format) di ko lang alam pano i upload dito sa site. Maybe I could email it just PM me ur e-mail addy if u want it.

here's some of the most common check-up routine for Altis

every 5K kms
engine oil change
inspect brake pads
inspect belts (A/C, alternator, Powersteering)

every 10K kms
inspect fuilds - radiator coolant, A/T gear oil, power steering fluid

every 20K kms
replace spark plugs (with Cat Converter)

every 40K kms
replace brake fuild
replace radiator coolant

Hope this helps

. . . BTW, VVTi has no timing belt so no need for replacement at 100K

in my experience...

every 5K:
- replace oil
- replace oil filter
- check air filter, replace if dirty
- check brake pad, replace if necessary
- check brake fluid, top off if necessary
- check belt condition, replace if necessary

every 10K
- replace spark plugs
- drain & replace radiator water & coolant.
- check wiper blades, replace if necessary

every 20K
- drain & replace brake fluid
- drain & replace tranny fluid
- replace fuel filter

how about the approximate costs of the above maintenance items?...

how's this for a car maintenance checklist/schedule?

1. Give your car a birthday or an anniversary date.
2. Change the oil every year. You read right — every year.
3. Change the spark plugs every year.
4. Rotate the tires every year to equalize wear and extend their life.
5. Change the air and fuel filters every two years or 20,000 kilometers.
6. Change the radiator coolant with a 50:50 mix of water and coolant every two years.
7. Change the timing belt every four years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
8. Change the drive belts for the fan, water pump, power steering pump and aircon compressor every four years or 60,000 kms.
9. Change the radiator cap and hoses every four years or 60,000 kms.
10. Change the gear oil for manual transmissions and automatic transmission fluid (ATF) for, what else, automatic transmissions every four years.


out of warranty naman na kotse ko so baka ayos na ito... ibalik ko nalang sa casa for the major maintenance schedules (every 40,000)
