Car Maintenance Tips and Tricks
Watch Your Oil
Did you know that many vehicles today don’t actually need an oil change every 3,000 miles? Many of the newer vehicles can go 7,500 miles before they really need a filter replacement.
However, how many of us regularly check our oil? If I asked you how much oil oil were left in your car at this very moment, would you know the answer?
By unknowingly letting the oil drain out of your car, your engine will soon be destroyed, leaving you on the side of the road in need of repairs.
Pay Attention to your Dash Lights
Today, there are many dash lights that can warn you of a wide range of issues that your car may by experiencing. Be sure that you research the problem if you see one of the lights go on. Contact Vastec if you see alight you don’t recognise. Generally, yellow lights indicate a warning that something will need attention in the near future. Red means that it needs immediate attention.
If you ignore any warning lights, you are likely to either have a breakdown or risk seriously damaging your vehicle, causing large repair bills.
Make your tyres last a little longer
To increase the life span of your tyres and reduce fuel costs, ensure you regularly check the tyre pressures are correct, referring to the guidelines displayed inside your vehicle, usually in the door frame or fuel cap.
