You know it's a good class to have especially when you're female. They run 60 minute specials once a year on how service stations try to screw you (case in point ANY Jiffy Lube I've ever been too who tries to sell me little parts that I don't need). But 5 years, yeah it's probably the battery. That's what happened to me in July. I got it started with difficulty. I thought, damn, the battery's dying. Off to Sears I go which should have just said our express service is going to take 3 hours because we were right behind the theatre and I could have gone and watched a movie while they worked.
Oil changes every 3,000 miles,
Air filter change every year (or if you live in sandy desert places more often than that)
timing belt change (this is expensive but in some cars if you don't do this you can drop the pistons thru the head of the engine and then you're screwed) at about 60-70,000 miles
