Hi guys, just bought an H3 2008 a month ago it has 39k miles on it and still looks and runs pretty good.

Now my question is what are the stuffs that I need to do to maintain or yet make the car runs better and looks better.

I notice some minors stuffs that's kinda irritating, when running on highway 60kph the side mirror starts vibrating I'm also annoyed with it's big tires, don't get me wrong though I like the fact that it's big looks just awesome but it's too big for it's body that I always need to clean It's body to remove the mud splash.

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

 

Also what type of gas do you put in your H3?

 

You know, you don't need to put an "s" on the end of words unless you want it to be plural.....

Check your mirror and maybe it just needs to be tightened. For your wide tires you can try some mud flaps or get the extended fenders. I would give it a good clean and then a good wax.
Change your oil at regular intervals, rotate your tires and check all other fluids. Basic regular maintenance is the best thing you can do to keep your truck running and looking good.
As far as fuel goes, I run 87.

 

Also, there are a couple threads in the H3 section about the vibrating mirror problem. Just FYI.

 

Thanks largemouthbass!

So what do you think is better to do? extend the fenders or just add mud flaps? also do you know some website that sells them or it's better to just go to a local dealer?

Thanks again!

 

I would say go with the extended fenders. I have heard they will work better than the mud flaps. I don't have either as I don't like the look of them but my truck gets covered in crap especially since I started running 35" tires.

Here are few links that might be helpful for parts. You can try your dealer as well. What I usually do is shop around online and other places to find a reasonable price, then go to my dealer and they are usually pretty good at matching the price or coming in close enough to make me buy it from them. Depends on the dealer I guess...

Meguiar's and 87 Octane!

 

Thanks guys, I'll do that whenever I got the budget for it as of the moment I'll just be driving cautious to avoid mud spill on the body.

I also use Meguiar's NXT car cleaning kit got it from amazon.
