Since summer in Buffalo is around the corner, you might be preparing for some driving. However, summer is characterized by dust, dirt, high temperatures and occasional rainfall. All these different conditions can have a toll on your vehicle. However, there’s a set of care tips that will prepare your car to run smoothly until fall. Pellegrino Auto Sales wants to help you get the most out of your car when you explore Media, this summer. It all starts with our skilled service department.
Change Your Oil and Oil Filter
If you changed your oil and oil filter during winter, it’s time to change them again. Since there have been varying weather conditions in Rochester, your oil should be changed. Oil in your vehicle is used to lubricate the engine. However, while it works, the oil carries along with debris and dirt that are harmful. The oil filter picks up these materials and may clog them up. Thus, changing the oil and oil filter will ensure your vehicle runs on clean oil.
Check the Fluid Levels
Power steering fluid, transmission fluid, wiper fluid, and coolant are the main fluids required by your car. As the weather changes, the level of these fluids may reduce in your vehicle. The coolant plays a huge role in cooling your engine on the hot Oakfield. Low levels of the coolant fluid result in overheating of the engine. Visit a dealership to perform a check on the fluid levels.
How is your battery running? When the temperatures dropped this winter, it was working harder than ever to keep you warm and moving. With a quick check of your battery, we can help you find out if it is prepared to take on the scorching summer days ahead.
Check the Tire Pressure
Your tires are a great indication of how many miles you traveled during the winter. So, it may be time to get your tires serviced by our pros. As you travel, you may hit potholes, or the road conditions may not be favorable for your vehicle. Additionally, depending on the weather conditions, your tire pressure may increase or reduce. Thus, before traveling for a long distance, ensure your car tires have adequate pressure. Moreover, do not forget to check the depth of the treads. Worn-out tires may result in breakdowns during your journey.
