Whether it is new or used, purchasing a car is a huge investment, making it vital that we do what we can to keep it running. Here are a few car maintenance tips that can help to make sure it keeps getting you where you need to go for the foreseeable future.
Oil Change
This may seem like a no-brainer, but regular oil changes will go a long way in keeping your engine running. Continually check the oil level to make sure it is where it should be and when it’s time for an oil change, get it done. Delaying it will only hurt your engine in the long run.
Flush the Cooling System
Go through and flush your cooling system and add new coolant at least once a year. You could simply just add normal store bought coolant but adding a nice mixture of half coolant half distilled water is also very good for your cooling system. That’s because it will help prevent corrosion and deposits from building up in the system.
Clean It
This doesn’t mean just hosing down your car to get the dirt off of it. Go through and spray the underneath area as well. Doing so will help get rid of winter salt that might still be there as well as any other grimes picked up while driving. Both of these can be harmful to the components on the bottom of your car, so the better the cleaning, the less risk your car is at.
Wax It
A nice waxing every 6 months or so will help protect the paint on the car and keep it from damaging elements that may cause it to bubble or chip away.
