Car is at 72k miles. What maintenance should I have done?

[PetePedroPetey]

I bought my car used at 36k miles and it is at 72k miles right now. I have kept up on oil changes and am due for one right now. I am wondering what other maintenance I should have done. I haven't done anything else but oil changes.

Should I get my spark plugs changed? Is that at 60k or 90k? Anything else that needs to get replaced or changed?

My car is 2012 1.4t.

Thanks.

Refer to your owners manual for all maintenance needs... they'll have a table of what needs to be done, and when.

For your peace of mind, inspect your tires for wear, inspect belts for signs of fraying, look at coolant hoses to ensure they're not swelling, ensure coolant level is at MAX mark, brake fluid is full, appears clean and doesn't have a burnt smell. Check for signs of major leaks (look under the car, see any big oil smears?), brakes okay?

Spark plugs are 60K, air filter every 45K, Cabin filter every 22.5K. Automatic transmission fluid should be changed between 45-97K depending on normal or severe maintenance schedule.

Changed my transmission fluid at 101k a little late but it came out still a little pink and was still good. I'd honestly do it before the 97k like every 50k. But make sure you use licensed dexron 6 I got some valvoline dex/merc that said dexron 6 and my tranny shuddered and did weird voodoo that started right when I put that fluid

Agree, Had mine changed around 72K, should have just followed the severe service schedule of 42K. With the 97K normal service interval, might as well say "Don't Service until it breaks or trade before you have problems!"

I think you're supposed to rotate your tires every 7.5k miles.

JesusTheAgnostic You reminded me, I need to do a tire rotation next time I do oil. Thanks mate.
