How often should I do general maintenance on my car?

David asked: Car wash? check fluids like oil, transmission, power steering, coolant? Tire pressure? Is there anything else I should be periodically checking? I just take my car to be serviced by Toyota every 6 months. Thanks!

    Well, wash the car when it’s dirty and just follow the manufacturers service manual that came with your car.

    Everytime my car is due for a warrant it gets a full service, other than that I don’t do anything else so I’m not really alot of help here!

    Take your car in every three months and the only fluid you’ll need to worry about is gas.
    Wash the car whenever you want.
    Clean the windows when it impares with your driving.
    If you have to use a leaf blower to clean the interior, you’ll want to clean it more often (vacume, etc.). It’s more personal hygene preferences than anything else.
