"Your Quick and Easy Guide to Car Maintenance"
Cars are like electric lights. We often don’t appreciate them until they go on the blink. Regular maintenance checks and a simple service can greatly reduce the cost of car ownership and keep you a much happier traveler!Don’t let the thought of car maintenance intimidate you. There are actually several car maintenance tips you can do – even if you’re totally mechanically-challenged!
For instance, you’ll want to keep your windshield washer fluid reservoir full. This involves screwing off the cap and pouring windshield wiper fluid in the right spot. You can quickly check the fluid levels when filling up at the gas station.
While you’ve got the windshield washer fluid out, pour some on a rag and clean the bug guts, etc. off the wiper blades.
If you see any coloured fluid leaking from your car, get it serviced immediately.
If you smell any peculiar odor coming from your car, take it to the nearest service station. Odors mean something inappropriate is going on under the hood of your car!
Check your wiper blades. You need new ones at least once every two years – might as well get them before winter sets in and you’re wiping away that ice and sleet!
Be sure all your lights are clean and working, including brake lights, turn signals and emergency flashers. You can perform this quick check while filling up your gas tank.
Check your tyres once a month – give a look over for cuts, bulges, or nails or other foreign objects sticking out.
Check your tyre pressures or take the car to your friendly serviceman once a month and have him check them. This service should cost you less than five bucks, if anything.
The title of this composition in car buying guide is car maintenance. This is because what is mentioned here is a guide about maintenance.
Every six months or 6000 miles, have your oil and oil filter changed. Very often, an inspection is done during the oil change. It’s worth it to pay a little extra and have other checks done. Ask to have your battery checked, too.
Have your air filter changed at intervals recommended by the manufacturer, and when it looks dirty and clogged. You can ask the person who's changing your oil to check the air filter.
No matter how non-car savvy you may have felt in the past, finding that you can do some simple maintenance checks puts you in the driver’s seat. You’re likely to discover in advance if your car has a problem that should be taken care of immediately.
There has been no restriction of any kind in the matter given here in car buying guide. All that has been stated here are manufacturers recommendations or better.
