Make a list of fluids and filters that you need to change or check. You should also have your battery, tires, tire pressure, heater/defroster, brakes, and lights checked to make sure they work properly.
Many drivers don't give a second thought to the filters in their car's engine or cabin, yet both types must be changed regularly in the same manner that oil filters are changed. Cabin air filters clog slowly, so you may not notice the reduced flow inside your vehicle.
Your engine will notice when its air filter is clogged. Engines can't breathe as well and give off indications that it needs to be changed. A clogged engine air filter can result in reduced acceleration or increased noises when the fan is running.
If you drive a car, you know that it needs oil. But, do you know that viscosity rating is best for your vehicle, and why?
Viscosity is the thickness of a liquid, or how easily it runs when poured out. Water pours easier than molasses, for example, and is less viscous. Oil viscosity is affected by outdoor temperatures. When it gets cold outside, oil has a higher viscosity. Hotter weather means lower viscosity.
There are a lot of factors that go into how long tires would last on your vehicle. One of these factors is the alignment. You have to make sure that your tires are aligned. Without proper alignment, you are going to have quite a few issues with your vehicle.
One of the things that are going to happen without properly aligned tires is that you are going to have to switch out your tires a little more. They will wear out faster and in different ways.
