We want you to get the most for your money so we have created our personalized page of car care tips to help you to do just that. Follow these simple rules and you will see an improvement in the life of your car and your tires.
1. Change your oil every 3,000 miles for regular, 5,000 miles for synthetic oil
2. Change antifreeze fluid every 30,000 miles.
3. Change brake fluid every 30,000 miles.
4. Change transmission fluid every 30,000 miles.
5. Rotate your tires every 5,000 miles or every 6 months.
6. Check your tire pressures approximately once a week. Low tire pressures can affect fuel economy, handling and comfort.
7. To accurately measure your tire pressure, check tires when they are cold. Wait at least three hours after driving.
8. Get your timing belt and accessory drive belt checked every 25,000 miles to make sure they are in working order.
9. Check and/or change your air filter every 6 months to improve fuel economy and keep your engine running smoothly.
10. Schedule a maintenance check every 15, 30, 60, and 90,000 miles.
11. Always make sure that your wheels are properly aligned. Wheel misalignment can lead to premature wear.
12. Check your spare tire each month and keep it properly inflated so it¹s ready to go when you need it most.
13. Use the penny trick to determine if the tread on your tires is worn to low. Take a penny and put Abraham Lincoln's head into one of the grooves of the tread. If part of his head is covered by the tread, you're ok. If you can see all of his head, it's time to replace the tire. When the tread is worn down to 1/16 of an inch, tires must be replaced.
14. Always check for potential problems before they happen.
