Preventative Maintenance In Order

Hi Scotty,

Absolutely love your videos. I also hope to move to Tennessee soon.

But my question is: the owners manuals of most cars/trucks kinda give you a preventative maintenance schedule, beyond the oil and air filter charges. they give give 30,000 mi / 50,000 mi / 70,000 mi etc schedules. But it seems there is way more to preventative maintenance than just those basics.

Is there or do you have a better more detailed list of PMs that should be done in order. 

I watch all the videos on you tube and have learned a lot from you! But something in order would be great.

Differential oil change, transmission fluid filter change, transfer case change, Power steering, coolant change, etc.....

This would be for pretty much any vehicle, but we have a 2017 Chevy Silverado, 2017 Maxda CX-5, 2017 Ram Promaster 1500 and a 2006 Scion.

I'm of the opinion to fix it before it breaks. So even changing tail lights before they go out would be an example of how I see it.

Anyway, thank you and once again love watching your videos, you've been very helpful.

 

Thanks,
Chris

whoahhhh! Slow your roll.

With that level OCD and four cars, you're going to be working on them every day from dawn to dusk.

 

 

 

The thing is, every vehicle has different needs. I'm fairly sure your Silverado tells you when to change coolant, driveline oils etc. Basically anything liquid wears our eventually. Many other consumables are just "replace as needed". Shocks and brakes don't follow a schedule.  There's no bible for these things. Cars simply need to be inspected from time to time.
