However, anyone who tries to own a car must be aware that there are several responsibilities that must be taken care about which is performing the basic maintenance either daily, weekly, or depending on your free schedule. In my case, I really do not have a fix schedule where I have to conduct the procedure whenever I have given the extra time.
They say that you should try to care about your vehicle and treat them well like your wife or girl friend. Perhaps treat it as your second wife but you don’t have to tell everyone about it or you might get into trouble with your own real wife. Moreover, proper maintenance is the key to the health of your cars to let them last for a long period of use. I will now going to provide you some of the most common easy to follow basic maintenance that you need to perform before trying to use your vehicle.
Checking the Engine Oil meter
This is the very first step that you should need to perform before doing anything else around. It is even the most important checking operation when you are planning to travel into a long distance place. The purpose of checking the level of your engine oil is to protect the various parts of your mechanical engine from wear and tear condition. Failing to check the oil level could cause severe damages on your car’s engine.
Always use Coolant on your radiator
The radiator is the one responsible from preventing your engine from overheating where you have to check if it’s either working perfectly or not. Some owners simply use ordinary water on their radiator but it is more advisable to use coolant because it helps protect your engine. Not using coolant could result into clogging of your radiator causing your engine from overheating.
Check your tires
Take a look around your car trying to check every tire whether they are flat or worn out. If you happen to have such tire condition then you need to have a change. You should also make sure that you always have with you a spare tire in case of having a flat-tire accident along your way.
Electrical lighting systems are function
It’s always nice to have some basic knowledge about electricity or you may simply ask some expert for assistance. Anyway, all you just have to do is to make sure that all signal lights are perfectly working to avoid accidents.
All gauges must be working
After performing all the operation stated above, you may now start your car to check all meter gauges that should indicate the normal level.
The Battery, Brake and Emergency brake
Not having enough power of your battery will not start your engine. You either need to take your battery to be recharged or replace at the Auto Shop. Checking you brake is also another important factor to avoid accident. I’m sure that you’ve seen a lot of cases like these especially on movies.
