Ownership & Maintenance
- What should I check after buying a used car?
Check fluids, tires, brakes, battery, belts, and for leaks. Also verify paperwork and get a mechanic inspection if you haven't already. - How often does a used car need an oil change?
Most modern cars need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but check your owner's manual. Older cars or those with conventional oil may need one every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
