Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges

Dealer

~$120–$160

Shop

~$85–$115

DIY

~$25–$55

Full synthetic costs more than conventional. 5-quart 0W-20 + filter is the typical bill.

🔄

Rotate tires to ensure even wear and extend tire life.

Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges

Dealer

~$85

Shop

~$60

DIY

Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges

Dealer

~$85

Shop

~$60

DIY

Free

Most shops do this free as a courtesy with any service. Don't pay separately if you can avoid it.

⏱️

Timing Belt / Chain

Every 60,000 mi

Replace timing belt (if applicable). Critical failure can cause major engine damage.

Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges

Dealer

~$935–$1175

Shop

~$655–$825

DIY

On interference engines, a snapped belt destroys valves. Worth doing on schedule. Bundle water pump + tensioner — labor is already there.

Important maintenance

Keeps your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently

💨

Every 15,000 mi

Replace the engine air filter to maintain fuel efficiency and engine performance.

Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges

Dealer

~$60–$95

5-minute job on most cars; the airbox lid usually has clips, no tools needed.

🌡️

Coolant Flush

Flush and replace engine coolant to prevent overheating and corrosion.

Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges

Dealer

~$285–$330

Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges

Dealer

~$330–$500

Replace spark plugs for optimal combustion, fuel economy, and performance.

Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges

Dealer

~$285–$390

Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges

Dealer

~$195–$235

Shop

~$135–$165
