Regular vehicle maintenance is crucial for ensuring safety, reliability, and longevity on the road. This checklist will guide you through the essential maintenance tasks to keep your vehicle in prime condition. 

Vehicle Maintenance Monthly Checks

Engine Oil Level

Check your oil level monthly to ensure your engine is well-lubricated and to identify any leaks early.

Tire Pressure and Tread

Inspect tire pressure and tread depth to maintain optimal handling and fuel efficiency. Adjust the pressure as needed according to your manufacturer’s recommendations.

Coolant Level

Verify that your coolant level is sufficient to avoid overheating, and check for signs of leaks in the cooling system.

Lights and Signals

Ensure all headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are functional to keep you safe and visible on the road.

Vehicle Maintenance Quarterly Checks

Transmission Fluid

Check the transmission fluid level and color. Dark or burnt-smelling fluid should be replaced.

Belts and Hoses

Inspect belts and hoses for wear, cracks, or frays to prevent unexpected breakdowns and engine damage.

Air Filter

Replace the air filter every 3 to 6 months to ensure optimal air flow, which can improve fuel efficiency and engine performance.

Vehicle Maintenance Semi-Annual Checks

Brake Inspection

Have your brakes checked every six months by a professional to ensure they are in good working condition.

Battery Check

Test your battery’s charge and inspect it for corrosion. Clean terminals and replace the battery if it’s not holding a charge effectively.

Wiper Blades

Replace your wiper blades as needed to ensure you have a clear view during poor weather.

Vehicle Maintenance Annual Checks

Exhaust System

Inspect your exhaust system annually for leaks, damage, or rust, which can affect your vehicle’s performance and safety.
