Never Ignore Your Check Engine Light
The check engine indicator is meant to alert you that your engine requires attention. Continuing to neglect it will only lead to larger problems and larger repair expenses.
What Your Check Engine Light Means:
Sometimes your check engine light illuminates because your odometer has reached a certain milestone. At these milestones the manufacturer recommends scheduled maintenance to be performed to maximize your vehicle’s engine life. Modern vehicles have a variety of sensors that help to regulate pollution. When these are out of calibration or broken your engine check indicator will light up.
However, there are other times that your check engine light might come on. If a major engine failure occurs, your vehicle’s computer will send a signal that there is something wrong. In turn, the check engine indicator will come on. This is why it is especially important to get your vehicle inspected by a licensed mechanic when this light turns on.
Check Off Your Check Engine Light:
Getting your check engine light off is always in the best interest of your vehicle!

Don’t Let Tires Flatten Your Summer Travel Plans
Getting
a flat tire is no fun for anyone at any time, especially on vacation.
To keep your summer road trip rolling along, the non-profit Car Care
Council recommends a quick tire check before you leave the driveway.
The
excitement of summer vacation quickly deflates when your car has a
flat tire. A quick four-step tire check will help you to avoid the
aggravation of changing a flat tire on the side of the road.
- Check that all tires, including the spare, are inflated to recommended pressure levels.
- Check tire tread depth with a simple penny test – if you see Lincoln’s head above the tread, then it is time for new tires.
- Check for irregular wear as uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment.
- Check tires for cuts, bruises, bulges, bald spots or other irregularities that can lead to a flat tire.
Summer Road Trip Safety
Summer
road trip season is here. Taking proactive steps to make sure your
vehicle is operating properly will help avoid the hassle and
unexpected cost of a breakdown away from home.
This
summer, AAA expects
to receive calls from over seven million stranded motorists
experiencing car trouble. The majority of issues the travel group
anticipates will cause car problems, such as dead batteries and flat
tires, can be prevented with a pre-trip vehicle inspection.
Summer
heat can take a toll on a vehicle, especially if it hasn’t been
properly maintained. Whether you do it yourself or visit a trusted
professional technician, a pre-trip vehicle check will give you peace
of mind and provide the opportunity to make any necessary repairs
before you hit the highway.
AAA
also reports that four out of 10 drivers are unprepared for vehicle
breakdowns. So you and your vehicle are ready for the road, take the
following auto care steps before you leave home:
- Check the battery and replace if necessary. Be sure the electrical system is charging at the correct rate; overcharging can damage a battery as quickly as undercharging. Excessive heat and overcharging shortens the life of a battery.
- Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.
- Check the HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) system as proper cooling performance is critical for interior comfort.
- Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant.
- Check the wipers and lighting so that you can see and be seen. Check that all interior and exterior lighting is working properly and replace worn wiper blades so you can see clearly when driving during precipitation.
- Check the emergency kit and restock, if necessary. Be sure to fully charge cell phones before leaving home.

Replacing Headlight Bulbs in Pairs
Typically, motorists will only replace a headlight bulb that has burned out or is failing. However, replacing just one failed bulb can result in an unbalanced or unpredictable headlight beam, which presents a potential safety risk. From the driver’s perspective, the road ahead will not be properly lit, and the driver will not get the full benefit of the vehicle’s headlights as the car maker originally intended.
From
the oncoming driver’s perspective, an uneven headlamp beam can
create an equally risky safety issue. The oncoming car will be harder
to see and difficult to position on the road. It could also be
confused with a single headlight vehicle such as a motorcycle.
Replacing
important auto parts in pairs is a common sense idea. Professional
automotive technicians and driving safety advocates alike
consistently recommend that tires, brakes, shocks, and wiper blades
should be replaced in pairs to make sure the vehicle is properly
balanced and functioning safely. Lighting is no different and equally
as important to driver safety.
Why
replace headlight bulbs when they get old?
Many
drivers will only replace a bulb that has completely failed, but for
maximum driving safety, an aging bulb should replaced before it burns
out. The filament of any halogen headlight bulb ages with use, time,
and exposure to the elements. As a result, the bulb’s light output
deteriorates. At the end of their typical service life, headlight
bulbs project less light, and that reduces the driver’s nighttime
visibility.
For
example, a new headlight bulb that can typically project a 240-foot
beam will only be able to deliver a 160-foot beam after three years.
That’s potentially a whopping 33% percent less light and a critical
safety concern.
Changing
bulbs in pairs also makes good sense from an efficiency point of
view. You only have to go to the shop once and you reduce the risk of
the other headlight bulb failing while you’re on the road.
Nighttime Driving Worries: Do You Want to See Better At Night?
Are
you someone, or do you know someone who doesn’t enjoy driving once
the sun has gone down? You’re not alone. A recent survey from
SYLVANIA Automotive found that 62 percent of motorists avoid driving
during evening hours. However, for many drivers avoidance is simply
not realistic – you still need to get home from work, your children
still need to get to and from after-school activities, and plans must
go on. So, what to do? In order to increase visibility on the road
and make you more comfortable when driving at night, it is essential
that high-performance headlights are installed on your vehicle.
The
same survey found that while 28 percent of drivers have difficulty
seeing hazards and other drivers on the road at night, 34 percent of
drivers have never changed out their headlights.
When
asked the question: “Do you want to see better when driving
at night?” – The answer should always be yes. This is a no
brainer – we all want to see better when given the option.
Improving a vehicle’s headlights can affect the lives of drivers
and their overall experience on the road. Better headlights can help
improve down road visibility and increase chances of seeing objects
sooner in the event of an accident or hazardous road conditions. This
is a simple maintenance check that drivers of all ages should
prioritize when it comes to overall road safety.
While
many focus on oil changes, brake pads and tire pressure checks,
there’s one safety element that’s often overlooked but especially
critical this time of year – vehicle headlight maintenance.
Headlights are an active safety item and are the first line of
defense on a vehicle; if drivers cannot see objects on the road, they
cannot react. If you can see it sooner, you can make a better
reaction.
47
percent of surveyed drivers said they would be likely to change their
headlights if they knew it would improve the safety of loved ones and
other passengers. Changing your headlights is usually a simple DIY
fix that doesn’t require a mechanic and helps to keep you and your
passengers safe when driving at night.
How To Determine Oil Change Intervals
Many
cars now come with a system that displays a message on the instrument
cluster indicating when it’s time for a change. Rants on the
Internet, however, would have you believe that such indicators are
the work of the devil—devilish automakers, that is, who program the
oil-life monitors to extend change intervals so that engines wear out
sooner, forcing motorists to buy new cars. But you can dismiss such
conspiracy thinking. Oil-life monitors do their job quite well. Oil
is an engine’s lifeblood, and like a blood test, an engine-oil
analysis can identify potential problems before they become
serious—and expensive.
Most
oil-monitoring systems don’t actually measure various substances in
the oil. Instead, they track driving habits, using algorithms that
take into account such variables as mileage, engine speeds, and
operating temperature to estimate when the oil is likely to be cruddy
enough to require a change.
The
monitors typically alert the driver to change the oil between 5,000
and 10,000 miles. But the interval could be shorter or longer
depending upon your driving routine. If most of your driving is
long-distance at relatively high speeds, the monitor may not indicate
a change for 12,000 or even 15,000 miles. If tootling for a few
minutes down the road to the market or mall is the only driving you
usually do, the monitor may go off in as little as 2,500 or 3,000
miles.
Oil
lubricates the engine’s internal moving parts, and short-distance
driving is particularly hard on motor oil. Moisture from condensation
and combustion gases form acids and sludge in the oil that inhibit
lubrication and accelerate wear. Allowing the oil to reach its
optimum operating temperature burns off contaminants—and that may
take up 20 or 30 minutes of driving, especially in colder weather.
Though
oil-life monitoring systems work well, you’ll still need to crack
open the good book—your car’s owner’s manual. And that means
reading the fine print. For instance, the manual may say not to
exceed 10,000 miles between changes despite the oil-life monitor’s
instructions. Or, it may specify an oil change once a year, even
though the car’s oil-life monitor hasn’t called for one. An
annual oil change also gives your mechanic a chance to inspect your
car and alert you to problems that might have developed during the
year.
A Clean Car is Money in the Bank
Purchasing
a new car is a major financial investment. Keeping it clean is an
easy and inexpensive way to protectits resale and trade-in value. Many
motorists procrastinate when it comes to cleaning their vehicles.
Whether you do it yourself or have it cleaned professionally,
proactively keeping your car clean on the outside, and tidy on the
inside, will pay big dividends when it comes to maintaining your
vehicle’s value over time.
Here
are five simple steps to keep a vehicle clean, helping protect it
from the elements and preserve its value.
- Declutter – Start the cleaning process by removing excess clutter from inside the car as it can be distracting and hazardous, especially when debris finds its way near the gas and brake pedals. Don’t forget to clear out items that have accumulated in the trunk as they can add extra weight and reduce fuel efficiency.
- Clean the Interior – The next step is to thoroughly clean the interior, wash the windows, and clean and install floor mats. Be sure to vacuum on a regular basis. A clean and orderly interior allows you spot issues in the cabin so you can get them repaired before they get worse.
- Wash the Exterior – Give your car a good wash from top to bottom using products specifically made for automobiles. Always clean the tires and wheels before washing the body, and don’t use the same washing mitt or cloth for both.
- Wax Twice a Year – Waxing not only protects a vehicle’s finish, but it also makes subsequent washing easier. Before proceeding, make sure there are no foreign particles on the paint. It is important to note that waxing should be done in the shade, not direct sunlight.
- Fix Chips – If you find minor paint damage, cover the paint chips as quickly as possible to prevent further damage. For a quick fix until you can get paint touchup supplies, dab a little clear nail polish on the scratch.
