Simple Maintenance Tips for Any Car

Being a responsible car owner can add years to the life of your vehicle. Looking at maintenance issues now often avoids costly problems that sometimes lead to total failure of cars or trucks. Each make and model has their own considerations, so take time to read the provided manuals before setting up any type of plan.

Monitor Tire Pressure and Treads

Tires are often a concern for drivers. Their loss can mean an accident or leave owners stranded until help arrives. Start by checking the pressure of each Tyre. Manuals list the correct number for various situations. Treads are another issue that could become dangerous. Worn treads are no longer safe for use. Tires that exhibit this trait should be replaced immediately.

Check the Oil As Well As Other Fluids

Loss of fluids is a common reason for car problems. Oil is the most important element of this category. A standard check can quickly show if there is dangerously low levels. Engines can be damaged without the proper amount of this liquid, so add the correct oil before operating a vehicle. Brake fluid is another concern. Loss of this substance could lead to a complete failure during any type of braking. Also look at coolant levels during this routine check. This works to prevent overheating that would destroy engines as well as other parts necessary to operate a vehicle.

Look At Wiper Blades

Wiper blades help drivers maintain vision in a variety of situations. Broken or damaged blades may improperly move water as well as other liquids. Replacing any items is easy to do and requires only one or two simple steps.

Examine the Battery for Any Damage

Batteries can quickly become a problem for drivers. Leaks that are not quickly spotted could create erosion that damages sensitive wires. Charge can be lost due to a variety of issues including running headlights while a vehicle is stopped. According to Popular Mechanics, “A load tester measures how well the battery can store and release electric charge. If the battery tests good, that means there’s a problem with the charging system or that something is drawing power when the car is off.”

Regularly Clean the Interior As Well As the Exterior

A clean car presents a good impression and ensures even more safety during journeys. A large amount of loose objects could become a distraction that draws attention away from important situations. Tears or scratches are also considered a problem that lowers the value of any vehicle.

Schedule Preventative Visits With a Qualified Mechanic

Preventive visits can discover issues that are often hard to find in regular circumstances. A trained professional is also aware of factors that car owners may not find from daily inspections. Try to schedule services such as oil changes at this time for added convenience.

Having an excellent vehicle requires regular maintenance from car owners. These simple steps allow anyone to keep their car or truck in the best condition possible. Always consult the manual for information as well as guidance concerning a particular make and model.

Dodge Viper SRT-10, 8.4 Liter Engine

Image
Right from the start, the Dodge Viper SRT-10 was a very hot rocket of a supercar, able to hold almost anything in a straight line, and in mid-range acceleration. Now, the independent Chrysler organisation has come up with an updated design and a yet more powerful engine. The new Viper is available as a coupe and roadster. The new car looks different, yet retains the unmistakably macho front end with the wide grille. Now, though, in addition to the central air intake in the hood there are louvers to let the air out. Side exhausts The air outlets behind the front wheels are bigger than before, but unusually, the massive exhausts come out at the sides, just below and to the rear of the doors. This arrangement leaves the rear of the underside of the car clear for an under tray and big diffusers to help keep the back end down at speed. Altogether a great looking car. With 600 bhp, the new car will rocket to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds, which pushes the performance up with the hottest of s

Lamborghini Gallardo, Smaller, Lighter And Very Fast

Image
Lamborghini has gone against the trend with the Gallardo: it's smaller, and less powerful than the Murcielago, but is lighter and very fast. Top speed is 190 mph, and the car leaps forward from rest to 60 mph in about 4.0 seconds. 100 mph comes up in just 10 seconds! The power for this performance comes from a new all-aluminum V-10 engine coupled to a six-speed gearbox. Gallardo is a real traffic stopper, specially in the bright yellow used for the cars at the launch. Yes, it does have twin air intakes at the front, but these are cunningly shaped to break up the bluff front which slopes up smoothly to the windscreen. This is a beautifully proportioned car, with a wedge line for the wings that merge with the long, sloping roof. There are deep air intakes just forward of the rear wheels, and two smaller ones on the rear deck. Classic mid-engine shape To see it in its true glory you need to stand up and look down at the car which is probably what you'd do anyway. From this angle y

Koenigsegg CC8S and CCR

Image
Two amazingly sleek and powerful exotic cars, with 806 and 655 bhp! Humongous performance guaranteed Simplicity and elegance are hallmarks of the Koenigsegg CC8S and CCR exotic cars. Incredible performance, near the ultimate possible with current technology, is the trump card of the more powerful CCR: 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, and a standing quarter mile in just 9.0 seconds! Talk about neck snapping power. The shape of Koenigsegg CC8S and CCR is so simple, without all those big air intakes that lots of supercars need, that you wonder whether it works. Well, it does: the CCR, which is highly supercharged, has been timed at 241.9 mph at Nardo, which at the time made it the fastest production car in the world. This means its maximum speed is probably about 245 mph. Unfortunately for Koenigsegg, Bugatti raised the record to 248 mph with the Veyron, another very exotic car, just a few months later. Even so, Koenigsegg CCR broke some another record, when tested by Sportauto, the German magazine.

Daihatsu Ayla's Secret, Can Reach 23 Km Per Liter

Image
Astra Daihatsu Motor as the Daihatsu manufacturer claims the low cost Green Car (LCGC) can consume fuel consumption for one liter for a distance of 23 kilometers. This is also in accordance with the government's plan to issue two volumes of LCGC or Fuel Saving Motorized Vehicles. According to the Marketing Director of PT ADM, Amelia Tjandra, if Daihatsu LCGC is required to spend 1 liter of fuel consumption for a distance of 23 km, Daihatsu is able to meet that target. using CVT halitude can be achieved. To be able to add three kilometers, you can only use CVT. The application of CVT to LCGC cars is not difficult for Daihatsu. Because, Daihatsu also has several products that use CVT. But unfortunately until now it has not been stated when the Daihatsu LCGC, both Ayla and Sigra, was applied to CVT. Including how much the price increases. The plan, the second volume KBH2 program will require automotive manufacturers participating in the project to be able to use up fuel consumption wh
