By following a basic maintenance schedule you can prolong the life of your vehicle.
Have regular tune-ups
Having your oil changed on a regular basis will extend your engine life. Fresh oil = fresh start
Check your owners manual or have your technician check the following for you. Intervals for coolant, transmission fluid exchanges, thermostat & hoses. Transmission fluid loses its viscosity after so many miles, depending on fluid & change interval (30,000 km to 100,000 km). Check owners manual or car care guide. Coolant can turn into acid when left in engine too long., running head gasket blocks & heads, other gaskets & frost plugs.
Have your battery, starting & charging system checked spring & fall
Belts should be changed every four years
Two sets of winter tires (studded) is the safest for winter. If using all season, make sure the tire is not more than 1/2 worn or it will be unsafe.
