Face it - some drivers do a better job than
others when it comes to sticking to a car
maintenance schedule. A new National Index just
released by Toco Warranty confirms there is
plenty of room for improvement. For example,
drivers generally have their car brakes checked,
but they dont always do it as frequently as they
should. Below are 9 routine maintenance tips to
help you keep your car running smoothly.   Check
the brakes every 12 months/12,000 miles. Change
the air filters every 12 months /12,000 miles.
Change the coolant (antifreeze) every 12 months
/12,000 miles. Check the spark plugs every 12
months /12,000 miles. Wash the car (to remove
road salt and grime) every month. Change the oil
every 3 months /3,000 miles Check tire pressure
and condition every month. Check the battery,
including terminals and cables every 3 months
/3,000 miles. Check the engine belts every 3
months /3,000 miles.
