Owning a car comes with its responsibilities. Depending on the make and model of your car, you’ll have different maintenance requirements. However, all cars will need some basic maintenance like oil changes and tyre rotations. We will go through the basics to maintain a healthy running car with good market value.
Regular oil changes and fluid level checks
Depending on your car’s make and model, you’ll likely need to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Also checking and changing your fluids is important for both safety and performance.
Tyres
Properly inflated tyres can improve your fuel mileage and handling, so it’s important to check them regularly. Getting your tyres rotated and aligned every 6,000 to 8,000 miles will help ensure even wear and tear, and can improve your fuel mileage.
Battery replacement
Over time, your car’s battery will lose its charge and will need to be replaced. Most batteries will last between 3 and 5 years.
Lights
Faulty lights can lead to accidents, so it’s important to make sure they’re always in working order.
Filters
Clean filters like air filter, oil filter, fuel filter can improve your car’s performance. As you run your car, these filters get dirty and clogged so it’s important to check and replace them as needed.
Serpentine belt
The serpentine belt or engine belt is responsible for running all of the accessories in your engine (water pump, power steering, alternator, etc.). It should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
