MAINTENANCE / OWNERSHIP
Maintenance Center
Keep the car reliable before a symptom becomes a repair.
Factory service intervals
Start with published service intervals and exact-year capacities instead of generic internet schedules.
FLUIDSFluids & capacities
Engine, cooling, transmission, rear axle and other service-fluid references where verified.
ELECTRICALBattery / charging / storage
Battery condition, charging voltage-drop testing and parasitic draw belong in long-term ownership.
COOLINGCooling-system health
Pressure testing, cap testing, thermostat and fan-system references.
BRAKES / TIRESWear & safety checks
Use actual wear, age, condition and use case—not mileage alone—to decide what needs attention.
AGING CAR20+ year ownership checks
Rubber, seals, grounds, connectors, hoses, bushings, weatherstripping and prior repairs deserve inspection even on low-mileage cars.
A factory interval is a baseline. Age, storage, track use, modifications, heat and unknown service history can justify earlier inspection or service without inventing a universal replacement interval.
