We hope you will consider the health of your great Italian cars in the same way. This tech tip may serve as a guide.

Read the Owner's Manual for your car and then schedule the following checkups.
• Every 3,000 miles, or every 3 months:
  Engine oil change. Note: If "check oil level" lights up on the instrument panel, have your engine oil level checked immediately.
• Every 6,000 miles, or every 7 months:
  Tire and wheel inspection and rotation.
• Every 25,000 miles:
  Front wheel–bearing repack (for rear wheel–drive vehicles only).
• Every 30,000 miles, or every 24 months:
  Replace Timing Belt.
  Engine accessory drive belt inspection.
  Cooling system service.
  Change all fluids.
• Every 30,000 miles:
  Air cleaner filter replacement.
  Automatic transmission/transaxle service.
  Spark plug and wire inspection service every 100,000 miles.
• At each fuel fill:
  Check the engine oil level; add oil if needed.
  Check the engine coolant level and add the proper coolant mix if needed. Discover the cause if fluid level is dropping.
  Check the windshield–washer fluid level and replenish if necessary.
• At least once a month:
  Check that tires are inflated to the correct pressure (specified on the tire–loading information label on the rear edge of the driver's door).
  Clean the power antenna mast, using a cloth dampened with mineral spirits.

  Happy and Healthy Every Year to all.
