Your vehicle requires a lot of maintenance, which makes sense, as most people depend on their vehicles pretty heavily. Some things aren’t meant to be maintained, however, and should just be changed frequently. Today we will go over 3 things your vehicle needs changed regularly to ensure a long and effective lifespan.
Oil
Replace These 3 Things to Keep Your Vehicle Safe And Operational!
Your vehicle needs its oil changed frequently, but how frequently depends on how far, and how often you drive it. Every 3000 miles isn’t necessarily the standard rule of thumb anymore for newer cars, and in actuality, 3000 miles for one driver may cause more wear and tear than 3000 miles would for another driver. Consult your owner’s manual for the correct frequency.
Windshield Wipers
Your windshield wipers also need to be changed frequently. They aren’t designed to last forever, and hot or cold temperatures can cause a lot of wear and tear on them. If they are becoming old, cracked, or warped, they will need to be replaced. Poorly maintained wipers can make it nearly impossible for you to see when you need them!
Tires
Your tires also need to be replaced fairly frequently, again, according to how you drive, and how much you drive. The type of terrain you typically drive on will also play a role in how quickly your tires become worn. To see if yours need to be replaced, grab a penny between your thumb and index finger, and turn it so that Lincoln’s head is facing your tire. If you place the edge of the penny in between the tread of your tires, you need to replace them if you can see the top of Lincoln’s head.
