Make Regular Oil Changes A New Year’s Resolution!

For many people, the end of the holiday season is the time to make resolutions for the coming year. Unfortunately, the economy continues to fight stubborn financial problems. Your budget may be tight and, as a result, you will need to keep your old car a little longer than you expected. That's why it's important to take care of the seemingly small vehicle maintenance issues, such as regular oil change intervals.

To keep your vehicle in top-running performance for 2014, here are three of our top resolutions. Resolve to:

Schedule two car checkups during the year. Preventative maintenance is cheap insurance for a reliable vehicle. An experienced, well-trained auto mechanic can spot potential problems before they happen. Keep all your service records; including oil changes, so that you can show a potential buyer all maintenance documentation.

Keep up with fluid and filter changes, including oil changes. Circle a day on your calendar each month to check all of your vehicle's fluids and make sure they are at the correct levels. While some fluids (like brake fluid, clutch fluid and coolant) may not require as much attention as oil changes or transmission flushes, they're just as important. Remember to schedule an oil change, or any other fluid change as recommended in your vehicle's manual. This will save you major repair dollars down the road. If you're not sure of the appropriate interval for oil changes or any other fluids, don't hesitate to ask your auto mechanic.

Take care of small problems before they get bigger. The consequences of forgetting about this resolution can be costly, both in time and money. Putting off minor maintenance or simple repairs can result in larger, more costly repairs overall.

Tip to Remember: Don't procrastinate. Repair what's wrong. Have the appropriate services, including oil changes, and your car will last a lot longer.

Because holiday travel is one of the most common times for a longer road trip, with that comes the unfortunate commonality of break downs. Take time for some important automotive repair work to make sure your trip is as safe as it can be. Have a standard automotive service inspection performed to make sure your vehicle is ready for cold weather. This should include checking all of the vital fluids, tires, brakes, steering, and suspension to make sure that your vehicle is safe for the open road. Don't forget that oil change!

Even though you gave your vehicle a check-up and it may have received a clean bill of health, you should still be prepared for the unexpected. This time of year there can be many unfortunate possibilities, including bad weather, break downs, accidents, road closures, etc.

Don't forget to check the contents of your trunk! Every vehicle should have a roadside emergency kit, available at most retailers, discount stores, and automotive service centers. It's also a good idea to have a couple of blankets and even some small food snacks. These items are not only good to have in the trunk for a long road trip, but also even for your daily commute during the cold winter months.
