This post shares a series of guidelines you can follow to prepare your car for the season though you should always resort to your trusted auto service to verify:

Tire Pressure and Tread

Correct pressure is essential to ensure accurate movement and car safety. If you notice that your car tends to roll or lean to one side, it may be that the tires lack adequate pressure.

Below the Average

When measuring, be very careful if you see a level below the recommended tire pressure since it makes the tires warm up earlier and wear faster, making the car consume more fuel.

Above the Average

Pay attention if the level is above the pressure recommended since it can cause the tire to wear more in the tread's central part. The suspensions deteriorate earlier as a result of the car being less resistant to irregularities in the asphalt. The consequences of running with insufficient pressure can continue even after adjusting the tires' to the right pressure. For instance, this can happen if there has been internal damage to the structure due to constant overheating or uneven tread.

The Timing Belt

More outings during spring mean more engine wear for your car. Therefore, it's essential to check the timing belt that synchronizes the four strokes of the engine. Breaking it can cause severe engine damage and quickly melt it down.

Clean the Upholstery

It's common to go out on a picnic on the weekends during the springtime, and carrying food in cars poses a significant risk for your vehicle's upholstery, so it's crucial to keep it clean. Using a spray cleaner helps maintain a deep shine without a greasy appearance and is easy to apply on cars to beautify leather and clean vinyl surfaces.

Along with learning how to find a great mechanic, getting acquainted with the best AMSOIL products will enhance your vehicle's performance.

Replace the Air Filter

Traffic raises a massive amount of particles such as pollen, remains of worn tires, dust, mites, bugs that accumulate over time in the air filter. Hence the importance of changing it even if you don't have allergies. The filter not only prevents dust or other particles from entering the interior of the car. Still, it also serves to keep the air conditioning ducts clean and prevent mites and bacteria proliferation.

Inspect the Battery

The battery suffers the most during winter as low temperatures can deteriorate it very quickly and, with it, cause the car to fail at any time. If your car battery is more than four years old and takes a few seconds for the engine to start, you should consider replacing it, especially in gasoline engines.

Observe the Level of the Antifreeze Fluid

As temperatures rise, it's crucial to ensure that the car's engine is cooling correctly. If the warning light comes on or you haven't checked the coolant level in a while, open the hood and inspect the liquid's status. Most vehicles have an antifreeze level gauge. If finally, it's necessary to add a little coolant, always do it when the car is cold and parked on a flat surface.
