How to Maintain Your High-Mileage Vehicle
While some drivers like to switch out their car every few years for a new one, many people own a car that speaks to them. If you want to keep your pride and joy running smoothly for over 100,000 miles, then you're going to need to be well prepared. Having the vehicle's original manual is a good start, but there are several preventative steps you can take to ensure that your vehicle has a long, healthy lifespan.
Develop a Service Schedule and Stick to It
Taking your car to a service center on a regular basis is more important than you may think. Your vehicle's original manual can tell you everything you need to know about how often specific parts of your car need to be serviced. Be sure to stop by one of our service centers to get a thorough inspection, including a check of your tires, battery, lights, belts, wipers, fluids, and more.
Maintain a Proper Tire Pressure
Regularly checking the tire pressure of your car is an essential part of owning a vehicle. Don't let your car's tires become overinflated or underinflated, since maintaining proper tire pressure is key to better fuel-efficiency and handling. In addition to that, maintaining proper tire pressure will reduce the risk of a tire blowout.
Change the Oil
Be sure to keep an eye on the odometer - you should be getting regular oil changes at certain intervals. While many cars can drive for a long time without an oil change, high-mileage cars will need more frequent oil changes, sometimes even as frequent as every three thousand miles. If you're not sure if you need an oil change, you can always head over to one of our service centers to have our technicians check out your vehicle.
Clean Your Car
You want your car to look nice, right? If so, be sure to keep your car clean. Also, keeping your car clean on both the inside and the outside helps to preserve the car. By cleaning your car regularly, you can help your car fight against rust and other problems that can damage your car.
