Check Liquids

It's worth checking the fluid levels of the vehicle at least once a month. Most of the time you don't have to do anything, but that doesn't mean you should stop checking it from time to time. It's by far the most important preventive measure you can do. You should check the level of brake fluid, engine oil, power steering fluid, and transmission once a month. Also, you should check the engine coolant every six months; and while you have the hood lifted, you can make sure the fluid of the windshield washer is at the proper level. If the level of any of these liquids is underfilled, you can easily add the necessary amount, and it also lets you know if it's time to change the liquid or if there is a problem, such as a leak. Extreme oil consumption leads to future engine problems, AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 will outperform other conventional oils to fix this problem, thus demanding less-recurrent top-offs.

Inspect the Tire's Pressure

Keeping tires under proper pressure is also convenient, not only because it extends the tires' life usage, but also ensures the vehicle's performance. Too much air will lead to excessive firmness and uncomfortable rolling, making the center of the tires wear out faster; and if the tires are under pressure, they will wear out prematurely at the edges which will increase resistance while rolling and increase fuel consumption. The recommended tire pressure is stated in the vehicle's manual and it's also displayed on a label on the driver's door frame. That pressure is what you should use, not the maximum recommended pressure in the tire itself. If you don't have an air pressure gauge, at gas stations the air hose usually has a pressure gauge. Some modern cars indicate the pressure of each tire on the board. If you need to blow air into your tires, many gas stations have air hoses that you can use, but be careful while doing so, if you blow too much air into the tire, use the gauge to push it out a little by pressing on the valve. You should take the air out little by little and measure with each step until you reach the correct pressure.

Change the Wiper Blade Rubber

One of the easiest things you can do to your car is to replace the rubber on your windshield wipers. The rubber dries over time and it's recommended to perform a replacement once or twice a year, depending on the weather. The change varies depending on the brand of the vehicle, but it's a simple mechanism most of the time. Make sure the rubber is the correct size for your vehicle, as some tend to have two different sizes, and perhaps have a rear wiper as well. You must be careful, when removing the old rubber, and try not to drop the metal arm on the glass; because you can break it, and fixing that problem can be expensive.

Change the Air Filter

When you take your vehicle for automotive service, the mechanic will likely tell you that you need to change the air filter. Usually the mechanic is right; the air filter prevents the engine from sucking up the foreign matter, and it's important to change it every 15,000 miles or about once a year, to avoid engine damage and maintain performance. In the same way that your air conditioning filter can affect the equipment's efficiency, an old or dirty air filter affects vehicle performance by blocking the amount and purity of the air needed to function correctly. But that doesn't mean you have to pay someone to change it for you; you can buy it and change it yourself, it only takes a couple of minutes and will probably cost you less than 20 dollars. To change the air filter, locate the filter box in the engine compartment. Open the box and replace the filter with a new one.
