Change Oil
As you’ve most likely heard a million times since first learning how to drive, it’s that oil changes are crucial to the survival of your car. We’re here to tell you that this bit of information is absolutely true! Regular oil changes are one of the most important things you can do to keep your car’s engine in good condition. Ignoring this easy service will lead to many problems, like an overheating engine and even engine damage, which can lead to big bucks spent on repairs.
Motor oil acts as a lubricant and is used to lubricate the internal parts of your car’s engine. Without a continuous supply of clean, fresh oil, these internal parts can become damaged, leading to permanent engine trouble. Most vehicle’s can go 5,000 miles between oil changes, but there are a number of factors to consider, like what type of environment you drive in and how often you drive. For the best answer to when your car needs to have its oil changed, seek the help of a professional technician.
Replace the Air Filter
Did you know, that just like you need a continuous supply of air in order to function, so does your car? It’s true. Without a constant flow of air, your engine runs the risk of overheating and suffering expensive damage. In order to provide your car’s engine with the clean, unrestricted air supply it needs to thrive, it gets help from an air filter. The air filter works by blocking all outside junk, like bugs, dirt and debris from being sucked into the engine. But just like most everything, air filters have a lifespan. Over time, as they collect more and more junk, they become dirtier and dirtier. Eventually, they will become so dirty, they will become clogged. As a result, the engine is starved of oxygen. To diminish the chance of a clog, have your air filter changed regularly so your engine will have the continuous airflow it needs.
Check for Leaky Hoses
From oil to antifreeze, a leaky car is a sign of trouble and should be fixed as quickly as possible. One reason for a leaky car is due to hose problems. Because of the intense heat and pressure under the hood of your car, engine hoses can become cracked and fail. The best way to ward off hose failure is to regularly check them for signs of problems. This can be done by yourself or with the help of a professional. Simply pop the hood of your car and perform a visual inspection on them.
