Unlike gasoline cars, Tesla vehicles require no traditional oil changes, fuel system maintenance, spark plug replacements or emission checks. Even brake pad replacements are rare because regenerative braking returns energy to the battery, significantly reducing wear on the brakes.
Check your owner’s manual for latest maintenance recommendations for your Tesla vehicle.
Recommended Maintenance Service
Cabin Air Filter
Your Tesla vehicle is equipped with an air filter that prevents pollen, industrial fallout, road dust and other particles from entering through the vents. We recommend the following cabin air filter replacement schedule:
| Model 3 Model Y | Replace your cabin air filter every 2 years. |
| Model S Model X | Replace your cabin air filter every 3 years.* |
Tire Rotation, Balance and Wheel Alignment
We recommend rotating your tires every 6,250 miles or if the difference of tread depth between two of your tires is 2/32 inches or greater, whichever comes first. Aggressive driving can lead to accelerated tire wear and may require more frequent tire service. Wheels and tires that are unbalanced and misaligned can impact handling, tire life and steering components. Refer to tire manufacturer’s owner manuals and warranty documentation for additional details.
