Check your local auto parts dealer for manuals specific to your car for complete instructions on how to perform basic maintenance on your vehicle. Often, you will save a bundle of cash doing simple tune-up work on your own.

Clean brake dust off regularly :Brake dust contains all sorts of nasty stuff. If you leave it too long, the combination of road grime, moisture and heat from
your brakes will bake it on to your wheels . Brake dust normally clings to wheels with static electricity so a damp sponge and clean cold water is the best way to get it off.

Driving Habits :Give yourself more time, especially
during interstate travel. Driving slower increases gas
mileage. Use air conditioning (AC) when driving at higher speeds. Wind drag caused by open windows is more gas-consuming than AC when driving faster, for
example on the highway. Limit AC use when driving in city traffic. Gas mileage can decrease by use of AC at lower speeds. Limit warming your engine on winter mornings. An idling engine, regardless of size, equates to no mpg.

Don't touch the glass when changing headlight
bulbs
:Most headlight bulbs now are filled with halogen and have special coatings on the outside of
the glass. If you pick the bulb up by the glass with your fingers, you will leave trace amounts of oil and grease on the glass. When the bulb is used, that area of the glass will get hotter than the rest and it will eventually cause the bulb to crack. When changing headlight bulbs, only hold the metal bulb holder at the base, or make sure you're wearing rubber surgical / mechanic's gloves (clean ones) if you're touching the glass.

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.

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.

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.

AC, Car Battery and More, Run your AC in winter :To keep your car’s air-conditioning system fit for the
next warm season, run it a few times throughout the winter. This will prevent moving parts in the compressor from seizing. Also, circulating the refrigerant will help keep the seals soft and pliant.

Check tires for uneven wear :If you’ve maintained
tire inflation properly, uneven wear may indicate the
need for a wheel realignment. It can also mean improperly operating brakes or shocks, a bent wheel,
internal tire damage, or worn bushings.

Beware the wet thumb :If you top off your tires at a service station, check to see if there’s moisture coming from the air pump. Simply depress the pin
inside the inflator valve with your thumbnail. If your
thumb gets wet, advise the station manager that his
tanks need to be drained and go to a different station. Moisture, trapped inside a tire, can cause pressure variations and corrode rims.

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.

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.

Air Conditioning : Make sure your air-conditioning is working efficiently. If in doubt, have it checked by a
qualified professional. The most important benefit of
effective air-conditioning is that it reduces driver fatigue, keeping the driver alert, refreshed and more comfortable.

Change the air filter : This is something you can do easily at home without using tools, and should be
done approximately every 12 thousand miles. You can buy a matching filter at nearly any auto parts store and your owner's manual will show you where your air filter is located. A dirty, dusty filter can lower gas mileage.
