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.

Yeah same here. Fuel injector cleaner ever change, tire rotation every other. I like to use STP Super Concentrated. I love the made with jet fuel sticker!

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.
