Dilute your coolant: Your cooling system needs
both coolant-antifreeze and water, so don’t
pour undiluted coolant into your cooling
system. Dilute it with water to the commonly
recommended 50-50 ratio. Similarly, don’t use
straight water in your system either.The coolant
protects against corrosion and freezing.The
water ensures good heat transfer from the
coolant to the radiator. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Some batteries need water: If your battery has vent caps, remove them to check the level of the electrolyte. It should rise 1/2 inch (13 mm) above the battery’s top plates. If it doesn’t, use distilled water to raise the level to 1/4 or 3/8 inch (6 or 10 mm) below the bottom of the vent cap. Don’t use tap water, as it may contain minerals that can damage your battery. Mechanics should check your battery as a part of your regularly scheduled maintenance, but they often skip the procedure. Be sure to ask to have it done.

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 |

Let floor mats take winter’s beating: Use floor mats to protect carpeting. The best type for controlling salt, slush, and mud in winter are rubber wafflestyle mats. They stay in place, don’t allow the water to seep through, and are easy to wash clean. Carpet-style mats are helpful, too. Shake, vacuum, or wash as needed; replace them as they wear through.

Change oil frequently: Your dad knew that
frequent oil changes were key to keeping his
Buick on the road another year. And while
owner’s manuals for today’s cars recommend
increasing long intervals between oil changes,
the fact remains — frequent changes flush
abrasive dirt and metal particles out of the
engine, prolonging its life. Most owner’s
manuals recommend a more frequent interval
for “severe conditions.” To maximize the life of
your engine, follow the severe intervals
recommendations, especially if drive regularly in
stop-and-go traffic. 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 |

Maintain proper inflation: Under-inflated tires are a tire salesman’s best friend. They create excessive heat and stress that can lead to tire failure. If you want to get every last mile out of your tires, get yourself a tire pressure gauge and use it at least once a month (more in hot weather) to keep your tires inflated to the recommendation in the vehicle’s owner’s manual. Check tires when they are cold (driven for less than one mile) for an accurate reading WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Inspect wheel-well splashguards: These guards,
however flimsy on many of today’s cars, help
keep water and winter’s salty slush from
splashing up into the engine compartment,
where it can damage sensitive electrical
components. Unfortunately, these guards tear
off easily — sometimes without the driver
knowing it. Check for damage to these guards
when you wash your car. Re-secure with the
appropriate fasteners or replace as needed. As
added protection from splashed-up muck, slush,
and debris, install mud flaps (also called splash
guards) on your vehicle. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

For stubborn carpet or mat stains: After vacuuming floor mats or interior carpeting, apply foam rug cleaner to resistant stains as directed by the maker. Work the foam into a few square feet at a time, using a wet sponge or brush. Vacuum when dry.

Consider adding oil coolers: If you plan to do a
lot of towing and your vehicle is not already
equipped with coolers, consider having them
added. Aftermarket engine oil and transmission
fluid coolers are simple, low-cost addons that
operate on the same principle as your car’s
radiator. The fluid flows through them, and
many small fins absorb and dissipate heat.
Cooler operating temperatures of engine oil and
transmission fluid can add significantly to the
life of your engine and transmission. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Go easy when you’re stuck: When stuck in mud
or snow, don’t make the problem worse by
damaging an expensive component. Gently
rocking in an attempt to free the car is fine. But
if it looks as though you’re really stuck, don’t
keep at it. Throwing your car from forward to
reverse repeatedly, as well as spinning tires at
high speeds, can generate lots of heat and spell
trouble for transmissions, clutches, and
differentials. It may be cheaper in the long run
to call the tow truck rather than risk big repair
bills down the road. It’s a good idea to carry a
traction aid in the trunk, such as sand, gravel,
or cat litter. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Top off your brake fluid: Check brake fluid monthly.Wipe dirt from the master cylinder lid before you open it. If you need fluid, add the type recommended by your car’s maker. Never substitute other fluids, such as transmission or power-steering fluid. And don’t use brake fluid from a previously opened container. Once exposed to air, brake fluid absorbs moisture and contaminates easily. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Keep your cool: Check the coolant-antifreeze
level weekly that shows on the translucent
coolant- antifreeze overflow tank. If low, fill to
the maximum fill mark on the tank with a 50-50
solution of coolant-antifreeze and water. Some
coolant manufacturers now sell premixed
coolant and water for the motorist who wants a
quick and easy way to top off. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Use wheel cleaner: Your car’s wheels are down there on the road, taking the brunt of road dirt. Add in the dust that wears off your brake pads and you’ve got a formula for stains that are tough to remove when you wash your vehicle. Car-washing liquid won’t do the job.You need a wheel cleaner specifically formulated to remove such stains. Be sure to buy the correct formulation. Some cleaners are designed for metal wheels, and others for painted or clear-coated wheels.The metal wheel cleaners come in various formulations as well, depending upon whether your metal wheel has a satin, aluminum, or chrome finish. Protect metal wheels with wheel polish, painted wheels with a coat of wax. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Preserve door and window seals : Wipe a rubber protectant (such as Armor-All) or silicone on door and window weatherstripping to keep it in good condition. Don’t use an oilbased product, such as WD-40, because the oil will damage the rubber. Regular cleaning and treatment of your car’s weatherstripping will also lessen the likelihood of your door sticking to its rubber seal in cold weather, a common cause of damage to the rubber.

Power steering fluid should be checked
regularly to ensure it is filled to capacity.The
fluid can be checked via the reservoir. For the
specific location relating to your vehicle please
check your owner's manual.
Only use the recommended oil for your car, this
information can be found in your owner's
manual.
Never over fill the reservoir. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |
