CAR MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

 


Nobody enjoys having to dig into the wallet to pay the mechanic. That's why, particularly if one drives a vehicle that's considered "worn" by contemporary standards, it's critical to take preventative measures with routine daily maintenance. So apart from extending the life of a car, following standard maintenance procedures improves its protection.


Aside from extending the life of a car, following standard maintenance procedures improves its protection. Read More for some useful information about car maintenance.

  • How often should a major service be done?
Having a major car service every 12 months is necessary to detect any faults at an early stage.

  • Check the oil in the engine:
Engines are exposed to a variety of temperatures, which can cause incremental wear and tear. Engine oils' primary function is to keep engines well lubricated to operate smoothly and have a longer lifespan. An engine oil's cleaning function is critical to the engine's efficiency and even for the vehicle.

  • Clean the battery frequently:
The battery in a vehicle is a crucial component. An automobile battery must be in good working condition to withstand the summer heat.

  • Keep an eye on any spark plugs that aren't working properly:

When a car doesn't function, the battery is often blamed. Spark plugs, on the other hand, may be the culprit. To compensate for worn or clogged spark plugs, the car's engine has to work harder. When the weather is bad, starting a vehicle can be especially difficult. The engine won't turn over because there isn't enough spark.

  • Inspect Air Cabin filters:
The cabin air filter in a car helps to eliminate harmful contaminants from the air that passengers breathe, such as pollen and dust. This filter, which is usually found behind the glovebox, cleans the air as it passes through the HVAC system of the car. If the car emits an unpleasant odour or the airflow has decreased, consider removing the cabin filter to restore the system's functionality.
  • Keep a close eye on the brake fluid:
The brake fluid can influence how easy and safe it is to drive without applying a lot of pressure before any need to stop. It will also assist with light braking and make the overall process of breaking easier.
  • When the check engine light comes on, what can one do?

Finally, a check engine light can illuminate due to worn spark plugs or plug wires. The check engine light will most likely illuminate if something is wrong with one's vehicle's ignition device. If the car has over 100,000 miles on it and the connectors haven't been modified, it's time for new plugs and probably new wires. Another sign of spark plug trouble is stalling.

  • Lubricants and oil filters should be changed on a regular schedule:

The vehicle's lifeblood is oil. It protects the engine and many of its vital parts from wear and damage by greasing and lubricating them. The issue is that oil gets dirty. By ensuring that the oil and filter are adjusted according to the owner's manual specifications, the engine is kept clean and safe, even while saving time, money, and stress.

  • Check tyre pressures regularly:

A car's wheels are everything that keeps them moving, Tire pressure should always be checked, and a quick walk around will reveal if any of the four tyres are jarred loose. Examine the treads to ensure they are not too worn.
