One of the easiest things you can do to prolong the life of your Answers.com is to continually maintain it. This is more than making sure the registration sticker is always updated and ensuring you have the best available Answers.com. Your car is a machine with tons of working parts that can quickly and easily stop working if they are not cared for. When your car reaches 30,000 miles, you will want to take it in for its 30,000 mile routine maintenance. Here is what you should expect at that checkup.

* Automatic Answers.com: This will be a drain and flush of your transmission oil, a replacement of your transmission filter and a refill of the correct Transmission Fluid. They will also check for any potential leaks.

* Cooling system flush: Your cooling system will be flushed with detergent to clean out your system and then the fluid will be replaced with coolant. A pressure test will also be run to check for potential leaks and a conditioner and pH balancer will be added to the coolant.

* Electronic ignition general tune-up: During the tune-up, the mechanic will run computer checks and check the emissions. If needed, the spark plugs will be replaced and the car will be given an injection system service.

* Fluid levels: The mechanic will also check all fluid levels and do a general under-car condition inspection.

* Brakes: The brake pads will be checked to see if they are still within the correct thickness or if they have been worn down. If necessary, the brake pads may need to be replaced and the rotor machined.

* Steering and Answers.com: Both of these systems will be checked.

* Tires and Answers.com: Your wheel alignment will be checked, and, if necessary, they will be aligned to their proper specifications. The tires will be balanced and rotated (if necessary) and the tread on the tire will be checked for their thickness as well as any unusual tread wear. The wheel bearings will be repacked. The tires will also be checked for the correct tire pressure.

* Filters: The air and fuel filters will be replaced.

* Oil: If necessary, your car will also receive an oil change. It is vital that you change your car's oil at least every 3,000 miles or 3 months (whichever comes first). It is okay to let this go to 5,000 miles, but, under no condition, should you let 7,500 miles pass before getting an oil change. They will also lubricate the chassis.

* Miscellaneous: The mechanic may check all of the lights (brake lights and Answers.com), check the condition of the coolant hoses, check the belts for tension as well as any wear, check the condition of the windshield wipers, test the charge of the battery and inspect for any fluid leaks.

There is no hard number for how much your 30,000 mile routine maintenance check will cost, since that all depends on what type of car or Answers.com you have and where you decide to take Answers.com for this service.

It is not vital to change engine oil every 3000 miles. regular petroleum oil will last 5000 and a a good synthetic will las 8000 at least. The key is a quality filter.

Must the sealed transmission be flushed every 30000 miles in a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer?

The transmission should be serviced every 15,000 miles by dropping the pan, cleaning out the pan, then re-assemble - put new transmission fluid in. Take the vehicle to your mechanic for this service. Ford wants you to buy a new vehicle every 100,000 miles, so they do not recommend any service (I know, they had to replace mine after only 65K miles). I had taken it in for all of the major services too (30k & 60K). I asked the dealer if they were servicing it and what did they actually do? The official Ford answer: nothing. The unit is sealed and you cant replace the fluid easily. Tustin Transmission recommends dropping the pan every 15K miles: never flush it. :


How many miles before a service?

The mileage before a service can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, as well as the type of service required. Generally, most manufacturers recommend an oil change and basic service every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. For more comprehensive maintenance, such as a major service, it may be recommended every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations.

It depends on the type of service your vehicle needs. Oil changes for instance, should be done every 3,000 miles or every 3 months. Brakes should be checked every 60,000 miles. Air filters should be changed every 6,000 miles. New tires are generally needed every year. Etc.


What does service vehicle mean?

Every vehicle need service at regular intervals. To service the vehicle means to perform any necessary things at a set time or mileage. For instance you must change the oil and filter every so many miles as outlined in your owner's manual. Every 5,000 miles is an example. Also on engines with a camshaft driven by a belt the belt must be changed on time. Every 100,000 miles is normal. Failure to change the belt on interference type engines will result in engine damage. Regular service will help the vehicle to last a long time and keep problems at bay. Your owner's manual is your bible, so read it. Do not have one then get one.
