Not that badly, really:
8x oil change
4x inspect brakes & rotate tires (tesla would need this, too)
2x inspect axle boots and axle shaft joints, inspect clutch operation, inspect steering and suspension (tesla, too)
and 1x (right at 30k):
inspect drive belts
inspect timing belt
replace automatic transmission fluid
replace brake fluid (tesla, too)
replace engine air filter
replace engine coolant (tesla, although different)
replace front/rear diff fluid
replace manual transmission fluid
- gambiting 12y ago>> 8x oil change what? Are you changing your oil every 3.5k miles?
- ansible 12y agoRecommendations for some brand new cars is an oil change once every 10k miles. This is because of the design of the newer engines, the synthetic oil, etc..
- gambiting 12y agoMine says in the warranty booklet that I should change oil once a year or every 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. I've just done my first 10k miles and I rang the official Nissan garage asking if I need to do an oil change - they said that if I haven't done the mileage indicated in the warranty booklet yet then there is no need to change oil yet. That's why I am surprised that OP suggests 8 oil changes for 30k miles driven.
- TwiztidK 12y agoThe "rule of thumb" I was told when I got my first car was to change the oil every 3 months or every 3000 miles, whichever came first. My current vehicle requires oil changes at 7.5k miles or 7.5 months, sooner under "severe" driving, so that rule has definitely changed.
- chiph 12y agoFor a car in taxi service, I can see that. As they spend a lot of time idling and in city traffic. But 30k miles in one year - I would expect those to be mostly highway miles and those are easier on engines -- so you can stretch the oil change intervals by 25% or more.
