2nd Oil Change Question?

Hey guys,

I have currently 5700 miles on the car. I'm close enough for my 2nd oil change. Should I also get the tires rotated as well? Plus is there another other servicing should I get?

I think it is every 7k for a rotate, so that one is up to you. Other than that you don't need anything. I usually do a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank every oil change, but I tend to over maintain. You can just pick that stuff up at an auto parts store and dump it in yourself.

Thanks guys for the help. Since I lost my dad who always made sure I took care of my car I do not have him yelling at me to do certain things. I'm glad I have you all for your support and kindness.

Ok I had my oil changed today with 6292 miles on it. I did not have time to bring it in last week, which is why I was slighy over by 292 miles. I also had my tires roated. I even asked the guy about the passanger compartment filer. He says that something that should be changed every 15,000 miles. I guess when my gas runs down next I should use the injection cleaner. I read its better to use that stuff when the gas is very low.
