FAQ’s
Preventative maintenance is the best way to protect the value of your vehicle and keep it functioning well. We have compiled answers to frequently asked questions so you know exactly how to keep your automobile running at its best.
How Often Should I Get An Oil Change?
Most drivers understand they should change their car oil between 3,000 and 7,000 miles or after every three months. But did you know you can also check your owner’s manual for the oil change interval for your specific vehicle make and model. In fact, many newer vehicles will even tell you when it’s time for a service.
How Often Should I Check My Vehicle's Fluid Levels?
In addition to engine oil, there are many other fluids that are important to the health of your vehicle. Some examples include the transmission fluid, brake fluid, engine coolant, and power-steering fluid. Their levels are not only affected by how frequently you drive but extreme temperatures as well. Experts advise checking fluids at the same time as your oil change or every month or two.
How Often Should I Change My Air Filter?
Your car usually has two filters; one for the engine and one for the cabin. If one of these filters is clogged, it will not allow airflow through, thus not allowing your engine to get rid of as much hot air and preventing clean air from coming through. Frequency of replacement varies, but a normal rule of thumb is every 30,000 miles, so the best way to know it’s time to change your filter is to check it on a regular basis.
When Should I Replace My Car Battery?
A standard battery should last three to five years, but environmental conditions, such as hot and cold weather, can affect its life. The important thing to remember is that a battery is not an item you should ignore. It is wise to stay vigilant for signs your battery is losing power. If you notice your headlights and dashboard lights are dimming or that your car is harder to start, these are indications that your vehicle may be in need of a battery replacement.
When Should I Get a Tire Rotation?
The tires experience the most wear and tear since they remain the sole vehicle component touching the road surface. It’s especially true if you use your vehicle for off-roading, or if your car or truck has two-wheel drive, which puts most of the work on one set of wheels. With that in mind, rotating your tires every six months or at 6,000 to 8,000 miles is a good rule to follow. This will help them wear more evenly.
