If you plan to keep the vehicle for two years or less--you can have the
oil changed every 12 months.

If you plan to keep the vehicle for more than 4 years--change the oil and
filter every 3000 miles.

Change the transmission fluid and clean the filter every two years.

Change the coolant every two years.
