Essentially, it’s similar to the 15,000-mile service. While the specifics vary depending on the make and model, manufacturers typically recommend the following for the 45,000-mile service:
- Change oil and filter (we recommend synthetic oil for most cars)
- Rotate tires
- Replace the engine air filter
- Replace the cabin air filter
- Visually inspect belts, brakes, and hoses
- Check for leaking fluids
- Check for any abnormal or unusual noises
- Safety inspection recommended by the manufacturer
Since your vehicle has traveled some distance, parts are beginning to wear, so most manufacturers also recommend checking:
- Brake pads – it’s possible you’ll need new brake pads, particularly if you live or drive in a hilly area. Rowlett’s terrain may contribute to additional brake wear.
- Tires – especially if you live in a hilly area, your tires may need replacement. If you drive a hybrid, note that the regenerative braking system in hybrids can cause additional tire wear.
Overall, the forty-five thousand mile service is usually fairly quick. At Parkway Car Care, we strive to make the process smooth and hassle-free. Give us a call or schedule an appointment online. Our Rowlett service center is conveniently located to make servicing your vehicle easy and accessible.
