^Yep, a bunch of checks, but most important that needs to be done is the oil change, tire rotation, and filters change (cabin, engine)

just a suggestion: check out the owner's manual-that is if the previous owner left it with the car. it has lots of great info.

You do not want to just add. Just do the whole shebang.

The filter is the main reason why we even do a oil change in a short time... not the oil. Buy a "oil change kit" from like Advance Auto Parts for roughly $30 or buy a RP filter and your preferred oil. If you don't feel comfortable in doing your own, buy the oil, and pay a trusted mechanic to put it in for you for like $10-15.

You would be better off doing the whole oil/filter change, unless you know for a fact that the person/dealer you bought it from actually did 3k miles ago. The local dealer wants 200-300 bucks for what they call "Spring Cleaning" maint. lol

@LoveMyTL-S Thanks!
