I'm not good in kilometers so you'll have to convert this. Change your oil and filter every 5000 miles. I think that is 7000 kilometers. Change fuel and air filters right now. Then the air filter every 6 months due to being in Kuwait with alot of sand around. Change your brake fluid now if it has never been done or itlooks black or dark brown. Keep an eye on your coolant level as that model may be weak on head and or intake gaskets.

Transmission oil should be changed by a qualified mechanic to avoid problems with improperly installed filters. It could be done at about 25, ooo mile intervals. If you have a owners manual or disc with your car it will let you know what your fluid change intervals are.

See I fyou are gettiing power with a test light. Then hit the switch and see if it sends power. If it does then you have another problem and need a mechanic to look at it.
