Car Care Tips

Advice from Denton Texas Automotive Specialists

Tire Maintenance

One of the easiest ways to care for your car is to assure that you have optimum tire pressure in your tires at all times. This allows you to produce even wear on the tire tread, making for a smoother ride and longer lasting tires, and it also saves you money on fuel, since you will get better mileage with properly pressurized tires. In addition, have the tires rotated on a regular maintenance schedule to further promote even tread wear.

Oil Maintenance

Nothing saves your vehicle from unnecessary wear and tear like keeping up with oil changes. Newer cars typically require an oil change every 5,000 miles, while older models will need maintenance every 3,000 miles or 3 months. Changing the oil will keep the oil and filter clean and the engine parts lubricated so you reduce the chances of having engine failure. It also allows you to regularly check for and find oil leaks before they become a disaster.

Engine Maintenance

Your car will run better if you stay on top of your regular maintenance schedule. One of the most important parts of this routine is the tune-up. This is only necessary about every 2 years or 50,000 miles, so it’s something that doesn’t require a lot of time but can be easily overlooked because of the distance between necessary appointments. Missing tune-up opportunities can lead to early engine malfunction and failure, which then requires replacement of the motor.

Filters

The oil filter is not the only one in your car to be sure is cleaned or replaced regularly. Air filters and air conditioning filters should be inspected on a regular basis and cleaned or replaced when clogged and dirty. This will enhance the quality of the air you breathe in your car, as well as aid the engine in breathing clean air within the system and not becoming bogged down with dirt and debris.
