Caring For Your Automobiles San Diego
You need your car every day. You have places to go, and things to see. Don't let car troubles get you down.
Take care of your car - the results can be great, with lower overall repair costs and a longer life for your car. A key to taking care of your car is knowing more about it – after all, knowledge is power. There are always myths, however, and it’s hard to tell fact from fiction.
Here’s some common myths about car care:
- Myth: Engine Oil Should be Changed Every 3,000 Miles
- Truth: This is usually not the case – most cars are actually designed to go 7,500 miles between oil changes, especially if you are using synthetic oils. However, this myth is actually true if your vehicle is usually in severe driving conditions – stop and go traffic, frequent trailer-towing and dusty conditions.
- Myth: Dishwashing & Laundry Liquids Are Good For Car Washing
- Truth: These chemicals can strip the wax off your finish, leaving your car vulnerable. It is best to use a liquid meant for washing cars, as it can help prevent future cosmetic fixes – creating a lower overall cost.
- Myth: Premium Fuel is Better for My Car Than Regular Grade
- Truth: Putting Premium Fuel in your vehicle won’t hurt it, but it will hurt your wallet, and it won’t make your car run better. If your car manual says your car takes 87-Octane fuel, don’t waste your time or money to buy premium.
