Whether you bought a quality used car from The Auto Connection or purchased your car elsewhere, keep it on the road longer with these great tips.

  1. Change Your Oil

This may seem like a no-brainer, but when people get busy, they tend to brush off oil changes. Be sure to adhere to your manufacturer’s recommended mileage checkpoints for oil changes.

  1. Grease the Wheel

Your power steering fluid keeps your steering wheel running smoothly. It also gives you more precise control over your car, so be sure to check your fluid. Rule of thumb for changing it is three years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

  1. Let Your Engine Breathe

Did you know replacing your air filter not only prevents airborne contaminants, but can also improve fuel economy and performance?

  1. Tread Lightly

To keep the wear of your tires’ tread even, be sure to rotate them every 4,000 miles or whenever you go in for an oil change. Even tread makes for better gas mileage and helps prevent tire blowouts.
