If at 41k miles, all i've gotten is oil changes, what service should I get done?

i drive a 2001 mazda protegeIf at 41k miles, all i've gotten is oil changes, what service should I get done?
you should definetley get a tune up and brake pads. It might almost be time to get a timing belt too, if it has one.If at 41k miles, all i've gotten is oil changes, what service should I get done?
All fluids changed. Maybe a tune up.
None if none is needed
all fluids...antifreeze... transmission fluid and filter ...air cleaner ...tires checked and rotated...still to early for tune up
I would get the wheels aligned the brakes checked your transmission flooded and just an all around checkup it will cost you a little bit but its better than waiting for something really bad to happen.
Usually your owners manual will list all of your service intervals and what is recommended by the manufacturer.
Check your owner's manual. There should be scheduled service issues there that you can look at. Otherwise, I would say check your brake pads, hoses and belts for excess wear. You also should consider your transmission fluid, or gear oil if you have a manual transmission. You also should check with Mazda about your timing belt. It will probably need to be changed at 60,000 miles, but ask them or check your manual. It's not that expensive to change, but if you don't get it done when you need to, it could be disastrous for your engine. It's smart to stay on top of your maintenance. It will save you money on expensive repairs and you will get better gas mileage too. I have a Nissan Xterra with 128000 miles on it, and I have no problems with it.
none---most of it is a scam---maybe rotate your tires---but you can do that on your own
Not a whole lot is needed @ 41K....





You should change you air and fuel filter - both of those should be done around 15 to 20K. Otherwise inspect your belts and hoses, coolant level, trans fluid color and level (assuming automatic)...you should be good to go!
