What is a 30K/60K/90K service and why do I always hear about it?

Manufacturers often have routine service schedules applicable based on a vehicle’s age and mileage. Some of the more common intervals recur every 30,000 miles. A 30K/60K/90K service checkup is designed to address maintenance and inspection items that are recommended at these intervals. Generally, these items may include filter changes, fluid changes, and a comprehensive visual maintenance inspection as well as other items, depending on the specific mileage interval. Most modern vehicles will have received several major service requirements at 90,000 miles. Some, however, may not require some of these items (timing belts, for example) until the next interval of 120,000 miles or beyond. However, once the major service intervals have been crossed and the required services addressed, the ongoing maintenance schedule reverts to one very similar to the original 30K/60K/90K schedule, with some exceptions. These exceptions will vary from one vehicle to the next and may also be influenced by other repairs and maintenance that inevitably become more common with high mileage vehicles.

While manufacturer maintenance schedules almost always have service intervals that fall within a 30,000, 60,000 or 90,000-mile range (7500, 15,000, 22,500, 75,000) the 30,000-mile intervals are generally accepted as the most common and important. To help ensure vehicle performance and reliability, all maintenance intervals must be addressed based on manufacture recommendations and vehicle use.

Most any 30K/60K/90K service check up will include the following items:

FOUR WHEEL TIRE ROTATION AND COMPUTER SPIN BALANCE. CHECK AND ADJUST TIRE PRESSURE.
