1. Change the Oil on Time
First, you need to make sure that you
change the oil in your car on time, every time. Your oil is responsible for making sure your car runs efficiently. It reduces the friction among the internal components, which can help you reduce the stress on the engine overall. This can help you add valuable miles to the life of your engine. Changing the oil on time can also help you improve your fuel efficiency. You need to change your oil at least once per year or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.
2. Check the Brakes
You also need to make sure that you
check the brakes from time to time. If the brakes are getting worn out, you need to replace them. There are different parts of the brakes that you need to keep an eye on. For example, if the brake fluid is a bit low, you need to top it off. If the brake pads are worn out, you need to replace them. If the brake rotors are worn out, you need to replace them as well. At Marthaler Chevrolet of Glenwood, we can help you.
3. Rotate the Tires
Next, it is incredibly important for you to make sure that you rotate the tires as well. You need to rotate your tires from time to time because the tires on the front of your vehicle are not going to wear at the same rate as the tires at the back of your vehicle. You need to rotate your tires to make sure that they wear evenly. That way, you make sure that you get as many miles out of them as possible. It would be our pleasure to help you find new tires if you think you need new ones.
4. Keep an Eye on the Battery
In addition, you need to make sure that you
keep an eye on the battery. The battery is responsible for helping you start your car. In general, you should expect to get between three and five years of life out of your battery. If you feel like your battery is getting close to this point, then it might be time for you to get a new one. If you are in the market for a new battery, we can help you with that.
5. Change the Air Filters
Finally, you need to make sure that you change the air filters as well. You have air filters in your engine that are responsible for giving your engine a source of clean air. You also have air filters in your cabin that are responsible for giving your passengers a source of clean air. Do not forget to change the air filters on time to make sure your engine runs appropriately. You also need to give your passengers clean air, so make sure you change the air filters in the cabin as well. We can help you with that.
