The Road to a Long-Lasting Automobile
|
Auto technicians say the key to keeping vehicles running well-today and down the road-is routine maintenance. Yet many
drivers tend to stall when it comes to keeping up with some everyday auto-basics. A recent survey by the Car Care Council
found: |
- 38 percent of cars had low or dirty engine oil.
- 54 percent had low tire pressure.
- 28 percent had inadequate cooling protection.
- 19 percent needed new belts.
- 16 percent had dirty air filters.
- 10 percent had low or contaminated brake fluid.
For your convenience, the Car Care Council developed a Service Interval Schedule to help you keep track of regular maintenance.
Most of the checks and services described here can be done at little or no cost. Best of all, they are quick and easy to do.
If you have lost your owner's manual, or just want to see what parts you need based on the age/mileage of your vehicle
