PT Cruiser Service Guide

Chrysler released the first PT Cruiser in 2000. Classified as a sedan with a rear hatch, the 2010 PT Cruiser was the last of this model. Owners benefit from following the prescribed maintenance schedule within the PT Cruiser owners manual or service guide by increasing the vehicles life.

Oil Changes

    According the 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser owners manual, change the oil and oil filter every 3,000 miles or every three months if you frequently drive off-road, use your vehicle for a delivery service, drive on heavily trafficked roads or in an environment with temperatures frequently above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Change the oil and oil filter every 6,000 miles in normal conditions or conditions not listed above.

Monthly Checks

    Each month check your tire pressure and tire wear. Check the oil and fluid levels indicated by the engine oil dipstick, coolant reservoir and brake master cylinder. Also, test the light bulbs on the interior and exterior of the vehicle work.

Replacing Filters and Spark Plugs

    Replace the spark plugs, air cleaner filter and make-up filter when the odometer reaches 30,000 miles, 60,000 miles and then every 30,000 miles thereafter in normal driving conditions.
