My car has an automatic transmission.
Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
Maintenance intervals for your vehicle are stated in 5,000 to 10,000 mile intervals. Looking at the just past 120,000 mile schedule for your vehicle, this is what should have been done and if done, you would presently be up to date. In addition to the following list, though, at 120,000 all basic vehicle systems, and fluid levels should have been inspected and repairs or fluid additions be made as needed. At 120,000 miles, the air cleaner, a/c cabin filter, brake fluid, engine oil and filter, and sparks plugs ALL should have been changed. Previously, at 100,000 miles the engine coolant should have been changed and prior to that, at 90,000 miles, the timing belt should have been replaced. Obviously if those operations were not done, do them now. To obtain clear estimates of the costs involved in these services, please use the various links to all of the various services offered by YourMechanic at this link or, if more convenient, call Tel: 1-888-907-0182 for quotes and service.

How to Identify and Fix Common car Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced mechanics :
Every 15,000 to 30,000 Miles
Replace the air filter every 15,000 miles. Every 20,000 miles inspect the battery and coolant. Most 25,000-mile maintenance service requires replacing the fuel filter. Every 30,000 miles, replace the air filter and power steering fluid.
Engine & Cabin Air Filter Replacement. Driveshaft inspection. All Fluids Inspection & Top Off – coolant, transmission, brake, power steering, windshield wiper. Differential Oil Replacement.
Every 15,000 Miles
Replace your air filter under normal driving conditions. You should also get your brake pads inspected and replace those, if needed, and remember to have the rotors turned.
Every 15,000 miles, you should get a new air filter. Inspect your battery and coolant every 20,000 miles. At 25,000 miles, most manufacturer`s recommend you replace your fuel filter. At 30,000 miles, you should again replace the air filer and you should flush and replace your power steering fluid.
After 100,000 km, most belts reach a critical state or wear, that`s why you should check them and replace them sooner than later. A drive belt failure, for example, can create serious problems and a hefty bill.
180,000 miles: Inspect the seals on the vehicle`s axles and drive shafts and replace those that are leaking. Also clean the airflow sensor, inspect the timing chain and engine and transmission mounts, and change the power steering fluid.
In addition to all that is performed at the Intermediate service, the 150,000 mile service is where you may see some of the fluids replaced, such as the brake fluid, engine coolant, and transmission fluid. It can also include replacement of the spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter.
Spark plugs are designed for long-term durability, meaning that they only need to be replaced between every 80,000 and 100,000 miles. However, they can become damaged earlier than expected and require replacements to avoid pricey engine repairs.
About every 80,000 miles a car`s shocks and struts will wear out and need replacing. You can save around $300 by replacing struts on your own.
What is Good Mileage for a Car? Most professional mechanics will tell you that 12,000 miles per year is an accurate estimate for a car that has not been overdriven and considered to have high mileage. Therefore, a vehicle driven for 10 years, would have an acceptable mileage of 120,000 miles.
Your vehicle`s transmission fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant should be inspected during your 100,000-mile maintenance check to determine their condition and if they need to be topped off or changed.
80,000-100,000 Miles
Your vehicle`s fluids will also begin to break down with age, so at this point, you should be changing all fluids, including brake, transmission, power steering, coolant, and oil. Water pumps are the most common components to break down at this point. These repairs can be costly.
However, as we`ve already stated, high mileage isn`t always a bad thing. With proper maintenance, cars can have a life expectancy of around 200,000 miles. You could reach this within two years or twenty, but it doesn`t necessarily mean the end of your car`s life.
Toyota recommends that vehicles featuring an automatic transmission have their fluid changed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Vehicles with manual transmissions should have their fluid changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
Toyota Camry 120k Service
As your vehicle gets older, you should expect to start finding minor issues that will also need to be repaired. The 120k Camry service will be a little more than your 60k service and is somewhere between $400 and $1,100.
As the second scheduled maintenance included with ToyotaCare, this 10,000-mile service is important for a variety of reasons. Among the more significant parts of this service is the oil change where old worn-out engine oil is replaced, along with the appropriate filter, with factory-approved oil and filter.
“The Master Maintenance Plan is an organized process to harmonize the scheduling of the maintenance plan for every product of the customer`s fleet.”
The 80/20 rule is the ideal ratio for effective equipment management. It is used in two ways: Your maintenance personnel spends at least 80% of their time on preventative, proactive maintenance and 20% or less of their time in unplanned repairs.
Luckily, spark plugs don`t wear out very quickly. You can typically get 80,000 miles on them before they need replacing.
How many spark plugs are in a V6? Each cylinder needs at least one spark plug to ignite fuel, so most V6`s have 6 spark plugs. Some engines use two spark plugs in each cylinder.
Your vehicle`s transmission fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant should be inspected during your 100,000-mile maintenance check to determine their condition and if they need to be topped off or changed.
Oil companies and automakers would like you to change your oil at 15,000 or 20,000 miles, especially with high-quality synthetic oils.
Your vehicle`s transmission fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant should be inspected during your 100,000-mile maintenance check to determine their condition and if they need to be topped off or changed.

Hi iat first i taught my car need gaz because it had 28 miles to empty and still telling me it needs gaz. I put some gaz in it an
ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. Thankfully with the check engine light on, the computer has already detected an issue, and we can pull the codes from the vehicle that tell us what system is having issues. This can be done by a technician, or at most local automotive parts stores. We can then focus in on that system and do further testing. It would appear there is an issue with the fuel system. More specifically there is likely an issue with the pressure sensor, fuel pump, fuel level sensor, or similar and related component. For more help on locating the issue and taking corrective action, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.

Fuel range indicator says I can drive 180 miles until empty. I drive half a mile and the indicator already says 165 miles left. What’s wrong?
ANSWER : This calculation your car performs is a constantly varying calculation due to a couple of things. One part of this calculation is based upon the driving habits of the driver and how the throttle is used in combination with how much fuel is left in the tank. The computer calculates a running average of the fuel used relative to how much fuel is in the tank. As you use more throttle consistently, this average mileage to empty calculation goes down. However, if you feel something is definitely out of the ordinary, have a certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic, diagnose your car’s fuel mileage issue.

Engine swap details needed. I need to know if the swap will fit.
ANSWER : Hi there. When it comes to swapping engines for your vehicle, what you can do is check all of the engine mounts and transmission mounts and make sure that they will work. If the mounts are a little off but there is room, then you may have to retro fit a custom mount. Check the length of the engine and the transmission assembly together. Make sure that the assembly is the same length. It may be okay if it’s a few inches shorter or longer, however, it cannot exceed 3 inches or the assembly will not fit. There has to be room for the engine to move around. Also, keep in mind, the CV shafts may not match up to the transmission and wheel hubs, especially if the transmission is shorter or longer. If you need further assistance with swapping your engine with another engine, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.

My audi q3 needs only one one tire replaced. It is a 2016 model with less than 5k miles. Will I still need to replace all 4 tires
ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. While most will tell you replacing all four tires is necessary under most circumstances, if the other 3 tires are in good condition, replacing just the flat tire is acceptable. The problem with replacing one or two of the tires at a time, is that it will eventually lead to further drive train damage. In this situation you want to make sure the tread depth on the other tires is close enough to the tire tread on the new tire. It is also standard practice to run all four tires as the same make and model of tire. Having multiple brands and styles at once can add more stress to the system. Your owner’s manual will have more information on the vehicle and how to service the tires. If the flat tire is beyond repair, then you can just replace the one, assuming the other 3 tires do have good tread.

Does a 2014 Lexus RX 350 need to have a service of new cabin air filter and engine air filter at 17,000 miles
ANSWER : Hi there. If you regularly park your car under a tree or near bushes, or live in desert areas the cabin air filter(s) will likely suck up debris and leaves, becoming dirtier, faster. It’s recommended to have this component replaced every 30,000 miles or every two years. The tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles – regardless of age; to ensure proper wear. If your dealership offers that service FREE, i’d take advantage of the tire rotation. If you’re a Costco member, they can complete the rotation as well for no charge. One of our [mobile mechanics can come to your location and complete the cabin air filter replacement if you’d like.

when my gas gage hits 35 miles left the miles left disapers and the empty tank lites up how far can i drive that way
ANSWER : Hello. I would trust the gauge. I’m guessing somewhere around 35 miles. It’s good practice to not run your vehicle that close to being out of fuel. If there is ever an emergency, you won’t have time to stop to get gas, and if you were to hit unexpected traffic on the highway, you could end up stranded.
