Tips For A Proper Maintenance Of Your Car by Benzy07: 12:07am On Sep 27, 2016 |
Tip 1
Check and change the oil. No single step will
help an engine last more than regular oil and
filter changes will. Conversely, nothing will
destroy an engine faster than neglecting oil-
level checks or fresh-oil changes.
Tip 2
Flush the cooling system and change coolant
once a year. A 50/50 mix of coolant and
distilled water will keep the cooling system in
good shape and prevent corrosion and
deposits from building up inside the cooling
system.
Tip 3
Change out transmission and differential oils.
While not requiring frequent service, these
fluids must be changed according to service
intervals. Always use transmission fluid or
gear oil of the recommended type and
viscosity.
Tip 4
Keep it clean. While washing the outside of
the vehicle is obvious, most everything the
vehicle ran over can also get stuck to the
underside. Hosing off winter salt and road
grime is a good idea.
Tip 5
Everything with moving parts needs grease to
survive. This ball joint went into early
retirement due to poor lubrication.
Tip 6
Nothing keeps paint looking good and
protected like a coat of quality wax. Apply wax
at least every six months.
Tip 7
Driveline components such as u-joints also
require regular lubrication. The driveline may
have to be removed to access the zerk grease
fitting.
Tip 8
Protect the interior plastic by parking the
vehicle in the shade, using a window deflector
screen, and applying a UV protectant to
prevent the plastic and vinyl from drying out.
Tip 9
Inspect, clean, and repack wheel bearings with
wheel bearing grease according to service
intervals. Wheel bearings and grease are
inexpensive compared to spindle and hub
replacement, or liberated wheels rolling down
the road ahead of you.
Tip 10
Brake fluid is hygroscopic. This means it is
adept at attracting moisture. Moisture causes
components to corrode and fail. Replace fluid
and bleed system once a year. Brake fluid is
cheap. Calipers, hoses, and sensors are
expensive. |
