Typical factory maintenance service periods vary depending on the vehicle make, model, and manufacturer guidelines. It’s important to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific manufacturer recommendations regarding factory maintenance schedules.

However, there are some common intervals for certain maintenance tasks:

Every 3,000 to 7,500 Miles

Oil and filter changes are typically recommended within this mileage range, although it may vary depending on the type of oil used (conventional, synthetic, high mileage).

Every 15,000 to 30,000 Miles

Services such as tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks (coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid) are often recommended at these intervals.

Every 30,000 to 60,000 Miles

More extensive maintenance tasks may be required at these intervals, including replacing air filters, cabin air filters, fuel filters, and spark plugs. Additionally, timing belt replacements, if applicable, are often scheduled within this mileage range.

Every 60,000 to 100,000 Miles

Major maintenance items such as coolant flushes, transmission fluid changes, and timing belt replacements (if not done earlier) may be recommended during these intervals.
