    Vehicle Maintenance

    Tire Pressure

    • Proper tire pressure can improve fuel efficiency, handling, and safety
    • Underinflated tires can lead to:
      • Decreased fuel efficiency
      • Increased wear and tear
      • Reduced traction and braking performance
      • Increased risk of tire failure
    • Check tire pressure:
      • At least once a month
      • Before long trips
      • When tires are cold (not driven for at least three hours)
    • Use a tire pressure gauge to ensure correct pressure, as specified in the owner's manual

    Oil Change

    • Regular oil changes are essential for engine longevity and performance
    • Engine oil:
      • Lubricates engine components
      • Cools engine
      • Removes contaminants
    • Oil change intervals:
      • Typically every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (8,000 to 12,000 km)
      • Check owner's manual for specific recommendations
    • Types of oil:
      • Conventional oil
      • Synthetic oil
      • Synthetic blend oil
    • Considerations:
      • Oil viscosity (thickness)
      • Oil type (e.g., diesel, gasoline)

    Filter Replacement

    • Regular filter replacement is crucial for engine performance and longevity
    • Types of filters:
      • Air filter
      • Oil filter
      • Fuel filter
    • Filter replacement intervals:
      • Typically every 15,000 to 30,000 miles (24,000 to 48,000 km)
      • Check owner's manual for specific recommendations
    • Benefits of filter replacement:
      • Improved fuel efficiency
      • Increased engine performance
      • Reduced emissions

    Wiper Blades

    • Good visibility is essential for safe driving
    • Wiper blade replacement:
      • Typically every 6 to 12 months
      • Or when showing signs of wear (e.g., chattering, streaking)
    • Types of wiper blades:
      • Conventional blades
      • Beam blades
      • Silicone blades
    • Considerations:
      • Blade material and quality
      • Windshield type and condition
