The following recommended may vary depending on make and model.

REPLACE OR SERVICE ITEMS

  Your vehicle manufacturer recommends that you have the following items serviced and/or replaced at 87,000 miles.
 

Maintenance Item

 
  • Change Engine Oil
    Engine oil is used to lubricate moving engine parts and operate some hydraulic parts of the engine itself. Engine oil performs many functions such as cleaning, cooling, lubricating and preserving. The engine oil should be routinely checked for fluid level & condition and replaced if too dirty or lost lubricating qualities.
 
  • Lube Steering Linkage
    The Steering Linkage transfers movement from the steering rack or steering gear to the wheels. The Steering Linkage should be inspected regularly to avoid problems with steering, alignment and tire wear.

'CATCH-UP' SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

 

Items based on the maintenance Schedule that should have been recommended within the last 30,000 miles.

 

Maintenance Item

 
  • Replace Air Cleaner Filter/Element (Apr proximately Every 30,000 miles)
    The Air Cleaner Filter/Element prevents dirt and other material from entering the engine's intake system. A dirty air cleaner may cause engine performance concerns such as low power, poor fuel economy or a rough running engine. Replace air cleaner filters in accordance with manufacturer service schedule.
 
  • Service Automatic Transmission (Approximately every 12,000 miles)
    The Automatic transmission transfers power from the engine to the driving wheels in several gear ranges. It also allows reverse operation. Automatic Transmission Fluid should be changed regularly as prescribed by the manufacturer service instructions to reduce wear of internal parts, and ensure optimal operation of transmission.
 
  • Replace Axle Fluid/Oil, Front (Approximately every 12,000 miles)
    Differential Gear Oil is heavy weight oil used to lubricate the gears and bearings in front or rear differentials. Periodic servicing of Differential Gear Oil is recommended to maintain axle condition.
 
  • Replace Axle Fluid/Oil, Rear (Approximately every 12,000 miles)
    Differential Gear Oil is heavy weight oil used to lubricate the gears and bearings in front or rear differentials. Periodic servicing of Differential Gear Oil is recommended to maintain axle condition.
 

Maintenance Item

 
  • Flush Engine Coolant
    Engine Coolant helps remove excess heat from the engine and keeps it at a normal operating temperature It also provides for the climate control system and protection against overheating and freezing in colder temperatures. Engine Coolant should be inspected regularly for condition of freeze/boil protection, corrosion resistance and level. If determined to be inadequate the Engine Coolant System's antifreeze/coolant should be changed or flushed at regular intervals to ensure optimal engine performance.
 
  • Replace Spark Plug Wires
    The Spark Plug Wires carry the ignition spark from the distributor or ignition coil to the spark plug. The Spark Plug wires insulation can deteriorate over time due to extreme temperature changes under the hood. Condition of wires should, defective wires should be replaced to prevent misfire, low power, rough running engine or stalling.
 
  • Replace Spark Plugs
    The Spark Plugs are located in the cylinder and ignite the compressed air fuel mixture in the combustion chamber or cylinder which forces the pistons down. This is a key process of what makes the engine run. The Spark Plug electrodes wear with use. Regular spark plug inspections should be performed at the recommended intervals and the spark plugs should be replaced when severely worn.
 
  • Replace Transfer Case Oil
    Transfer Case Fluid lubricates the internal shafts, gears and seals during operation. Transfer Case Fluid that is changed regularly as per manufacturer instructions may reduce internal component wear and improve performance.
