Default Service Interval

This may be a stupid question but do you guys service your car regularly like at 15k and 30k at the dealer? I looked at the manual and there isn't really a lot to do beside changing the oil and they charge like $250 for 15K and $500 for 30K.

The manufacture claims 100k tune up, but do people really wait until 100k to have it tune up?

I do all my maintenance myself. Its like paying yourself the money instead of the mechanic. You also get to choose the fluids and stuff u want to use. I once brought my car to a dealer for maintenance and it came back w/ a fram oil filter.

its all in your owners manual. i'd do oil change/filter at least every 3750, valve adjustments every 15K, transmission oil change every 15K, spark plugs at least every 30K. replace air filter when it gets dirty. , check dist rotor/cap and plug wires.. maybe at 30-45-60K - mine was fried at 45K. radiator fluid. fuel filter every 30K.

can't remember whatever else, but make sure you do all of it. (some of these you don't have to do as often, but it helps)
