The maintenance schedule of a Chevrolet Tahoe recommends changing the oil every 3000 miles and rotating the tires every 9000 miles. The schedule also recommends flushing the transmission every 30,000 miles.
It is every 13K miles.
with proper maintenance over 200k miles.
scarap the car buy a new one
It should have oil service every 5,000 miles.
If you follow the recommended maintenance schedule your vehicle will last longer and perform better.
50000 ft. is exactly 9.4752 miles.
I have found this maintenance schedule on the site of a dealership up in Canada, this means that instead of miles it uses kilometers, however you can convert them to miles pretty easily. http://www.metrokia.ca/en/service/maintenance/index.spy 8000 Km is about 5000 miles. 1 mile = 1.609 km 1 km = 0.621 miles Most cars in America have a maintenance schedule which requires service between 3000 to 5000 miles. Since I can't be sure that this information is coming straight from Kia I would make sure that service is done any time between 3000 and 5000 miles.
Manual says 60,000 miles for standard maintenance schedule
A 4-cylinder Saturn engine will typically last between 200,000 and 300,000 miles with proper maintenance. It can be further extended through a major overhaul.
I think its 100000 miles
