According to recent
studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect. The
following simple and inexpensive preventive checks will greatly extend the life of the vehicle, ensure safer
operation and even benefit the environment. Always consult your owner's manual for individual service schedules
because maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer.
- Always consult your
owner's manual, but a good rule of thumb is to have the oil filter changed regularly - every 3,000 to 4,000
miles.
- Have all fluids checked,
including brake, power steering, transmission/transaxle, windshield washer solvent and antifreeze. These
fluids play a large role in the safety and performance of the vehicle.
- Check tire inflation.
Under-inflated tires can result in a loss of fuel efficiency. This is the least expensive form of
preventive and safety maintenance. Tires should be checked once a month.
- Keep your engine tuned. A
fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent.
- Have the chassis
lubricated frequently. This step extends the life of the moving components of the vehicle's suspension
system.
- Check battery cables and
posts for corrosion and clean them as needed. The battery fluid also should be checked and filled if it is
low, unless it is a maintenance-free battery.
- Have the lighting system
checked frequently, including headlights, turn signals, and brake and taillights.
- Check windshield washer
blades for cracks, tears and windshield contact. Replace them at least once a year or sooner if streaking
begins.
- Inspect engine belts
regularly. Worn belts will affect the engine performance. Look for cracks and missing sections or segments.
Have the air
filtration system checked frequently. The air filter should be checked every other oil change for clogging or
damage. This system ensures that the vehicle is performing at its peak condition.
