MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR YOUNG DRIVERS

Young drivers responsible for taking care of automobiles for the first time in their lives should understand that oil is the lifeblood of their vehicle's engine; therefore, it is vitally important to check oil levels regularly and change the oil as recommended. Dirty oil and/or low oil levels increase wear on internal engine components, leading to the potential for premature engine failure. Another very important maintenance step involves changing the air filter according to the owner's manual schedule. A dirty air filter reduces engine performance and can cause the engine to overheat. Brake pads should be inspected for wear,and an appointment scheduled for service at the first sign of brake squealing. Waiting compromises safety and adds to repair costs.
