Re: Checkup for Car



With only 10,000 miles, there is nothing to be concerned about.

The people that change the oil should be checking the other fluids, but you shouldn't need any of them in quantities to be concerned about.

Besides getting the oil changed on a regular basis (every four months)
what other things should be done.  My car is 2002 with a little over
10,000 miles.  Do I need to worry about getting the transmission fluid
changed?  No one has ever suggested anything except rotating the tires
Thanks. (I am assuming that the people changing the oil also check the
fluid levels. I go to the dealership for this).
