The bare minimum maintenance items to make your car last longer:
Rotate tires, Replace wiper blades, change the engine air filter, maintenance car wash, wax car, oil change, spark plugs, inflate tires, check tire tread.

Don’t use Pennzoil! You might as well put in Quaker state or used oil at that point. Mobil 1 has the highest rates
wix filters are fucking trash
Rotating tires is different for certain vehicles so look it up don’t follow this video.
Miata owners are some of the best in the scene
Hey man you forgot about coolant! Without coolant the engine is gonna cook
You forgot the more important things like radiator coolant flush @ 20k, brake fluid flush @ 10k, transmission fluid @ 30k, front and/or rear differential oil and @ 20k, power streering fluid @ 30k.
2 more tips:
Change engine coolant every 5 years.
Change the timing belt every 100,000 miles as long as it doesn't break before that.
Some honorable mentions
Timing belt every 80-100k miles.
Water pump/thermostat as well at the same time as the timing belt.
Transmission fluid/filter (if it has one you can change) every 50-65k
If you have a RWD car then the differential gets new fluid every 30-40k
Actually nowadays there is no need to rotate your tires, and Scotty kilmer will back me up on this. Another thing, the only tune up you need is an Italian tune up
Thanks for sharing!
Bro that oil was dark as hell lol
Car Care Essentials: Trabant 601 Edition.
Rotate tires very often, front and rear camber is ridiculous along with 70-30 weight distribution.
Replace wiper blades if you want, I doubt they make silicone ones.
Change air filter like every 4000 miles, according to service manual. More important set intake to the correct "weather mode".
Never get it wet unless you know the panels are sealed, especially the roof.
If so, you can wax, probably will look exactly the same through, these cars do not shine.
Use synthetic 2-stroke oil at 50:1 designed for air-cooled engines, not outboard oil.
Replace or clean spark plugs if it won't start, or is running on one cylinder with black smoke.
Fill tires to 23 or 25 psi, harsh suspension, very light car, 1300 lbs.
Driving on US highways is like skydiving but more dangerous.
I guess wiper blades technically make a car last longer, may help prevent accidents?
I just buy another car when it runs out of gas
i feel like his cars get an oil change once a month
Damn, that oil was dark.
I know every car is different but I've heard (and learned in a car mechanic trade school) that every 3-5k miles is the area of oil change. Over 5k and it could damage your engine in the very long run if you continuously wait that long every time.
The spark plugs come already gapped but check the gap as the same plugs can require different gap for different applications.
Jack stands, wheels chocks, ramps are a good investment
for rotating the tires you have to have a special device that tells the tires where they are, unless you have that tool than it would probably be best to take it to the shop and get the tires rotated
Naaahhhh not a six filter
Healthy miat is a happy miat
Remember there's also transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid (maybe), differential fluid, transfer case fluid, brake fluid, and a cabin air filter (maybe)
