Basic car maintence questions?

Question

I'm kinda an idiot when it comes to cars. I'm just wondering, how often should you get a tune-up for your car? And how often should you change your shocks/struts on your car?

And besides changing the oil, any other fluids that need changing on your car after a while?

Answer 1

tune up? maybe once a year.

other fluids, well, check if your windshield washer fluid is full. make sure you have enough transmission fluid.

and if all your tires are the same, get a tire rotation every second oil change. but if your tires have been used for a while and you never got a rotation, you shouldn't bother getting a rotaion.

Answer 2

SHOCKS AND STRUTS ARE RECCOMMENDED AT 50,000-80,000 MILES DEPENDING ON TIRE WEAR.ROTOATE YOUR TIRES EVERY OTHER OIL CHANGE OR EVERY THIRD CHANGE.GET AN ALIGNMENT EVERY OTHER YEAR.TUNE UP EVERY 50,000.TRANS FLUSH AT 30,000-50,000.WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN THE SPRING.
