5 Ways To Keep Your Car Running For Years

11/19/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Although people want to keep their cars forever, not everyone will be patient and persistent enough to do it. Irv Gordon is the person who holds the world record for driving 3 million miles on his 1966 Volvo P1800.
 
Although it is not expected that you become like him, it is possible for you to extend your car's life while living a life of a few mechanical mishaps as possible.
 
Here are few easy ways in which you can keep your car running for a long time.
​Follow The Service Schedule
Although this one is a no-brainer, there are still a large number of car owners who take their car's service schedule for granted. In fact, if you do not follow the maintenance schedule for your vehicle, your car will grow old fast.
 
In fact, it is inexcusable not to follow the oil life monitoring system of your car. Oil change and proper maintenance are important especially after traveling 20,000 miles.
 
Make Regular Checkups On Fluids And Tire Pressure
Once a week, check your oil as it is the most important fluid for your car engine. Check both the radiator overflow reservoir level as well as the brake cylinder reservoir. Always check the level of the power steering fluid, and also the hoses and belts for possible signs of wear or failure.
 
Go check out the air cleaner as well. Start the car and a few moments as it is warming up, check the level of transmission fluid. Finally, check whether each tire has the proper psi while using the owner's manual as a basis.
 
Go Easy On Your Car
It is wrong to fire up your car and then immediately floor it. It will take a few seconds after your start up the car before the oil pump to lubricate the entire engine. During these first few seconds, try to minimize the engine rpm.
 
Give it 30 seconds before driving off and even more time if your car has been idle for more than 24 hours. Also, take it easy on the brakes while not driving too hard. A constant road racer attitude will reduce your car's road time.
 
Listen To Your Car
Listen for odd noises from your car once in a while. Turn off the radio and check out for a clicking noise that could indicate a nail stuck in one of your tires. A squealing sound could also indicate that the brake pedal is not depressed while you are driving.
 
Moreover, scraping or grinding noise while you are stepping on the brakes could mean that the position of the brake pads is too low. Once you cannot determine the source of the noise, take your car to the mechanic.
 
Get Car Insurance
The truth in all this is that there is nothing that can give you more peace of mind than an auto insurance policy. Despite all the constant check-ups, your car might eventually break down. Some minor accidents may happen anytime too.
 
Thus, an auto insurance policy will give you the best protection against these accidents or breakdowns. It can also protect your finances from theft or natural disasters.
 
Some Final Reminders
Taking care of your car requires a proactive approach. Don't panic when your car breaks down. The most important of all is a peace of mind. At Brad Spurgeon Insurance Agency Inc., we work hard in making sure that our clients are well-protected with policies that they can afford.
