5 Essential Car Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Vehicle Running Smoothly

Tip #1: Regular Oil Changes

At Eden Auto Parts, we understand the importance of regular car maintenance. One of the most crucial tasks is changing your oil regularly. This simple process can help extend the life of your vehicle and prevent costly repairs down the line. We recommend checking your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval, but as a general rule, it's best to do this every 5,000-7,500 miles. Don't forget to dispose of used oil responsibly!

Tip #2: Tire Pressure Checks

Another critical aspect of car maintenance is checking your tire pressure. Underinflated tires can lead to uneven tire wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and even accidents. Make sure to check your tire pressure at least once a month, and before long trips. You can find the recommended tire pressure in your owner's manual or on the tire information placard on the driver's side doorjamb. Don't forget to adjust for temperature changes!

Tip #3: Filter Replacements

Air and oil filters are often overlooked, but they play a crucial role in your vehicle's performance. Clogged air filters can decrease fuel efficiency and reduce engine performance, while dirty oil filters can cause damage to your engine. We recommend replacing these filters every 15,000-30,000 miles or as recommended by the manufacturer. Don't wait until it's too late!
