I see so much conflicting information about regular car maintenance schedule recommendations. Some say follow the manufacturer's schedule, others say that's too conservative. With modern synthetic oils and improved engine designs, what's the realistic regular car maintenance schedule that balances cost with vehicle longevity?
I'm particularly confused about oil change intervals - should I stick with the 3,000 mile rule or go longer with synthetic? What about other fluids and components?
