5 Essential Summer Car-Care Tips |
- Kick the tires. Since Summer heat increases tire pressure, get out the tire-pressure gauge and check that your tires are inflated in accordance to your owner's manual. Don't forget to check your spare as well.
- Check the essentials. Check the oil after running the car for a few minutes. Some technicians recommend an oil change every 3,000 miles - check your owner's manual for guidance. Don’t forget new windshield-wiper blades for summer driving.
- Make a service stop. Check with your mechanic if you think it might be time for a tune-up, it could improve your fuel economy.
- Ditch the junk in your trunk. No hip-hop reference here -- just clean out your car. The more you haul, the more fuel you burn.
- Prepare for the worst. You should keep an emergency kit with some necessities as well as a road assistance kit with jumper cables, air compressor, tools, and a first-aid kit. Slow down. Driving faster than 60 miles per hour decreases your fuel efficiency.
