Vehicle Maintenance:
In order to keep your vehicle in good condition, both visually and performance wise, over longer periods of time, some maintenance will have to be done. Here are a few basic tips that will probably save you a lot of time and money down the road:
1) Be sure to change your oil and oil filter every 3000 miles or 3-4 months, whichever comes first
2) Check your car’s oil levels at least once a month, and add oil as needed
3) Keep all of tires, including the spare, properly inflated to the manufacturer’s specified pressure
4) Wash your car if needed because dirt deteriorates the vehicle’s paint job
5) Wax your car a few times each year in order to polish your car and also to prevent against corrosion
6) Carry around a pair of jumper cables in your trunk just in case your car won’t start
7) Make sure that your tires have a good amount of tread on them.
8) Use the manufacturer’s recommended fuel type (unleaded or diesel) and octane (applicable for all unleaded gas vehicles).
9) For unleaded vehicles be sure to use unleaded fuel only. Most car’s will only require the lowest grade (also the cheapest) gas, but others (namely high performance and turbocharged cars) require the use of premium unleaded (the most expensive octane) fuel.
