Keeping Your Car in Tune


Keeping Your Car in Tune

Kimberly Meyer
April 27, 2006

Nobody looses from keeping a car taken cared of well. If you do follow maintenance schedules and do repairs well, you would not only be helping your pocket but you also would be helping the environment be greener than ever. You see, if a vehicle is well-maintained, chances are that it would be running better, safer, and more efficiently.

The engine is a very important and essential part of the whole car’s system. By keeping it tuned rightly, your vehicle would be running much smoother. In fact, if your engine has a misfiring spark plug, your vehicle’s fuel efficiency actually is cut down to around thirty percent. Thirty percent is a great amount. If there is a need to replace filters and fluids, do not hesitate to do so. In fact, it would be best to follow service schedules.

Improperly inflated tires may not be a big deal for most people, however, the sad truth behind this is that improperly inflated tires bring down your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. This could also be the start of expensive damages on your vehicle. For sure, these are some matters that you would like to avoid as much as possible. Keep your tires properly maintained and properly inflated so as not to waste those precious drops of fuel.

It is also important to keep your vehicle’s air conditioner working properly. If it needs any kind of servicing, have the work done by only a technician who is certified to do such types of duties. Make sure that you choose a qualified technician.

On the other hand, you can also do things yourself like dispose of used motor oil, change anti-freeze and coolant, check tires, and replace old batteries properly. However, do not simply dump these anywhere. There are recycling sites that handle such wastes so much so that it does not harm other people and harm the environment as well.
