Yes I do, I follow the maintenance schedule for my car and do preventative maintenance as well as check out things to make sure they aren’t wearing faster than normal.

If you don’t take care of your car you’re daring it to breakdown on you.

i keep an eye on everything about my car. good for you!, alot of people think as long as the wheels move, its ok. i check all my fluid about every week, i check the front end and brakes on the front end and back 2 times a year. i change the oil and filter twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. twice a year, i go from bumper to bumper.

my 06 acura has a maintenance minder. It gives you the oil life and also lets you know when service is due and what service needs to be done. The dealer also puts a sticker on the front windshield reminding when a oil change is due.

That’s a good idea – the sticky note – but I wouldn’t think that you have to be so precise as to “within a hundred miles.”
Regular maintenance isn’t all that difficult, and it sure beats the heck out of the cost of a major repair – or the inconvenience of a breakdown.

In addition to your post it note you need to follow the recommendations in your owners manual maintenance schedule and add this to you note as necessary.
