Choose a good car insurer: Sometimes, no matter
how careful you are, disaster inevitably strikes —
typically in the form of an accident. Make sure
that your car will be repaired to the best possible
standard by finding an insurer that will pay for
parts from the original manufacturer and
guarantee the repairs it authorizes. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Change the oil regularly: This will improve your gas mileage and protect your engine. The recommended mileage between oil changes is 3,000 - 5,000 miles (or 5000 - 8000 kilometres) or every 3 to 6 months. Doing this could make it possible for your vehicle to attain 200,000 miles (or about 320,000 kilometres). Change the oil filter as well - there is no sense in putting clean oil through a dirty filter, and filters are very cheap and available at any parts store. Please check your service manual, or contact your dealer for your car's specific needs. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Heavier is not always better : Use the oil viscosity
grade that’s recommended in your owner’s
manual for the temperature range you expect for
the coming season. Lighter grades (lower
viscosity, such as SAE 5W-30), often specified for
today’s smaller car engines, will deliver easier
starts and better engine protection in winter and
improved gas mileage throughout the year,
thanks to less internal engine friction. Do not use
a heavy grade of oil in cold winter climes or you
will risk damage to your engine. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Park in the shade: Of course, a garage is always the ideal place to park your car. But if one isn’t available, minimize interior damage from UV sunlight and heat by always trying to park your car in the shade. If no shade is available or if you find parking under a tree results in bird droppings, use a car shade to minimize the sun’s impact. As a bonus, you’ll have a cooler car to step into on hot sunny days. Car shades come in two basic types: those that you unfold and place on the front windshield and rear window, or pleated types that attach to the windshield posts (with adhesive), window frames (with Velcro), or the windows themselves (with suction cups).

Fill with washer fluid only: Don’t add water to the windshield washer reservoir. It won’t clean as well as washer fluid, and it may freeze in cold weather and damage the system. Don’t try to run your windshield washer system once you suspect there’s no more fluid in the tank, or you may damage the washer fluid pump. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Keep the tires inflated. Under-inflated tires can reduce the tire life by 15% and will slightly decrease your gas mileage, perhaps by 10%. Inflating tires is perhaps the easiest of all activities, and many stores sell tire gauges for a very small cost. Checking your tire pressure every other time you get gas will reduce tire wear and prevent these issues. Monitor your tire tread with a penny. Insert the penny into the tread with Lincoln's head down. If the top of his head is not obscured by the tread, your tires need to be replaced. Basically, if you can see all of Lincoln's head, you must replace your tires. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Keep the front end aligned . If you notice your car shaking while driving at high speeds (not while braking - shuddering while braking indicates warped rotors), or if your tread is wearing unevenly, then you may need an alignment. This is also key to extending the life of your tires and will keep the tread even for increased safety. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Preserve your car during long-term storage : If
you are not going to use your car for more than a
month, store it properly to prevent unnecessary
damage and repairs upon your return.
Fill the gas tank to help prevent condensation
from accumulating in the gas tank. Add a fuel
stabilizer and drive the car around a bit to
distribute the additive to engine parts.
Wash and wax the car thoroughly to protect the
finish.
Place a vapor barrier on your garage floor. A 4-
mil polyethylene drop cloth will do.
Disengage the parking brake to help avoid brake
corrosion.
Put the car on jack stands to take the weight of
the vehicle off the wheels and tires.
Disconnect and remove the battery to keep it
from draining. Place the battery on a trickletype
charger. Or periodically drain the battery, using a
small light bulb, and then recharge it with a low-
volt charger.
Plug the tailpipe with a rag to prevent moist air
from infiltrating into it. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Don’t forget the PCV valve : The PCV (positive
crankcase ventilation) valve is an emissions
control device on older cars — check your service
manual to see if your car has one.The valve
recirculates partially burned gases from the
engine’s crankcase to the combustion chamber.
Important to a properly functioning engine, the
valve should be changed every 30,000 miles
(48,000 km) or as specified in your owner’s
manual. In addition to helping you get the most
from a tank of gasoline, it helps to prevent the
buildup of harmful sludge and corrosion.When
replacing your PCV valve, be sure you use the
correct one or you may damage your engine. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Keep an auto log: Keep a pad and pencil in the
glove compartment and use them to record your
gas fill-ups and mileage. If you notice that your
gas mileage worsens, mention it to your service
man. It may be an early warning sign that
something is wrong with your car. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Use your parking brake . Even if you are driving a
car with an automatic transmission, use your
parking brake regularly, especially if you're parked
on an incline. It helps keep the brakes adjusted in
the rear of the car and makes them last longer.
Do not use your parking brake in the wintertime
because your brake will freeze and it will be stuck
until it thaws out. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Re: **RUST**My Recent Purchase Experience***2004 Toyota Highlander**RUST ALERT!!!** by lanreg95(m): 4:29pm On Aug 02, 2018 |
Buy gas at reputable service stations:Ask
whether the gas you buy is filtered at the pump
and if the station has a policy about changing
the pump filters regularly. If you get a song and
dance, find another gas station. Some stations
don’t have pump filters, making you more
vulnerable to dirty gasoline. Other stations may
not mix alcohol and fuel properly — or worse,
water down their product. Find a station you
trust and stick to it WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Clean dash gauges carefully: Use a soft damp cloth to lightly wipe dust from the clear plastic lenses on your dashboard. Too much pressure will scratch them. Too many scratches can make it difficult to read your gauges under certain lighting conditions. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Blast mats with the hose: When washing your car, drag out the rubber or carpet floor mats and blast them with the hose.This will dislodge dirt particles that, if allowed to build up, will grind holes in your mats. Let the mats dry thoroughly in the sun before reinstalling. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Keep the caps on: You step out into driveway ready to start your morning commute only to discover a flat tire. How in the heck did that happen overnight? If the tire valve is missing its cap, the culprit might be a leaky valve. Those little caps keep out dirt and moisture that can cause leaks, so be sure to keep caps on all your tire valves. Another tip: When you replace tires, remind the tire shop that you expect new valves with the tires. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Don’t fill up if you see the tanker : If you
happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks
at your local gas station, come back another
day or go to a different station. As the station’s
underground tanks are being filled, the
turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in
your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors,
causing poor performance and possibly
necessitating repairs. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Have wheel alignment checked : Have your car’s wheel alignment checked every 30,000 miles (48,000 km), or as recommended in your owner’s manual. Also have it checked after buying new tires and when you replace a rack-and-pinion steering unit or other steering parts. Improper tire alignment will shorten the life of your tires as well as cause poor handling. If your steering is stiffer than normal or the vehicle pulls to one side, you probably have an alignment problem. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |
