It can be hard enough to remember all of the important things that you have scheduled for your day to day life, let alone when the last time was that you had the oil checked in your car. This is why it is a good idea for most people to have a car maintenance checklist handy that they can refer to from time to time. Having everything in order to keep your car running properly can actually save you a whole lot of time and even hassle over the long term.
To start with, you need to make sure that you do regular checks of your fuel, oil and of course the level of air in your tyres. Look at all of your gauges to make sure that they are working as they should be. If any of the gauges are broken, you should have them repaired as soon as possible. Once you check all of these levels, just simply take the right amount of care so that you do not overfill anything.
Look at your air filter and make sure that you have it cleaned regularly. Anytime an air filter becomes clogged it can lower combustion. Once this happens, you will start to increase the level of pollution that is emitted from your car. Beyond that, you can end up having other issues stemming from your car having to work too hard to make up for the clog or obstruction in the air filters.
Always look at your tyres to see what the treads look like. If you find that your treads are starting to wear or look uneven, you can make an appointment to have your tyre rotation done. Any tyre that is damaged or over worn should be replaced, especially if you are going to be driving over long distances.
Of course, there are always things with your car that you may end up overlooking on your own. This is why a lot of car owners will make an appointment to have their car looked over by a professional to see if there is anything that can and should be replaced. During the check up of your vehicle, your technician will not only go through various check points with you but they will also be able to give you pointers on how to properly care for your car over the time period before going back to the next check up for maintenance.
