Maintenance Tips

The most important maintenance for your vehicle is regular oil changes. We recommend one every 3 months or 3,000 miles. Some manufacturers recommend every 5 months or 5,000 miles, or longer if you use synthetic oil.
We offer three levels of oil changes:
- Regular- Includes conventional 10W30 oil with regular filter
- Plus- Includes 5W30 or 5W20 synthetic blend with a better grade of oil filter and an 18-point check, which includes topping off of all fluids
- Supreme- Includes full synthetic motor oil with a premium filter and an 18-point check, which includes topping off of all fluids
Have the tire pressure checked frequently. Properly inflated tires cause less drag, thereby helping improve fuel mileage and prolonging the life of your tires.
Keep your air filter clean. Have it checked regularly and changed when dirty.
Keep your battery terminals clean and free from corrosion to prevent no-start situations due to poor battery contact.
Don’t allow your fuel tank to run lower than ¼ full. Running your tank consistently low on fuel causes undue stress on your vehicle’s fuel pump, which could lead to premature failure.
Have your suspension lubricated at every oil change. Properly lubricated suspension parts last longer.
Wash all the salt off of your vehicle’s undercarriage after a winter storm to prolong the life of your brake and fuel lines. Rust is a factor in early failure of these parts.
Follow your owner’s manual for manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedules. While your vehicle is under warranty, it is your right to have repairs done at any qualified facility. You do not have to return to the dealership for this maintenance. It is crucial, however, to keep records of your compliance to this suggested schedule in order to maintain the integrity of your warranty, should you need repairs under warranty. M&H can generate a copy of your schedule for you and we would be happy to review this maintenance with you.
