As it is springtime again in Northwest Indiana, Schlyer & Associates wants to share simple spring car care tips to keep you and your car safe.
Oil Change: Check oil level regularly and change the oil every three months or 3000 miles, whichever comes first, for top performance and longer engine life.
Check the transmission fluid for correct level. Check the owner's manual for the right type of transmission fluid to use and the proper interval for service and replacement. Watch for leaks that can cause your transmission to fail.
Inspect power steering fluid for proper levels. Low power steering fluid can cause damage to the power steering system and lead to premature power steering failure.
Inspect windshield wiper blades for wear and cracks, ideally each spring and fall. GM recommends replacement of blades that look worn. Also inspect and replace the rear wiper blade, if equipped. Don't forget to check the windshield washer fluid.
Inspect and replace the engine air filter and the cabin air filter: Replace as necessary.
Inspect steering components and steering linkage: Replace as necessary.
Apply a protectant: Any vinyl surface including the dashboard, seats and the steering wheel are susceptible to cracking, sun damage and fading — be sure to apply a protectant at the beginning of the season and touch-up regularly.
Interior clean-up: Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum! Be sure to throw away any unwanted garbage that has hibernated under your seats over the winter. And now is the time to store your winter vehicle mats in the garage.
Wash your vehicle: Most important, right? A clean vehicle runs better, right? Not necessarily, but it does make the vehicle look better. Just like a good maintenance program prolongs the life and performance of your vehicle, all vehicles regardless of the finish (clear coat, acrylic, enamel, etc.) require regular washing throughout the year. To preserve your vehicle’s shine and protect the surface, wax your vehicle once it has dried completely.
Clean the underbody: Do not forget the underside of your vehicle. In addition to washing the exterior, be sure to spray the underbody and underneath the rear and front bumpers to rinse away any salt build-up which can lead to erosion and rusting. Use a high-pressure sprayer or garden hose for best results.
