Check your oil

It is important to continually check your oil. Many driveability concerns are the result of low, or old oil. Today's engines require many different additives in your oil and as oil gets older, those additives break down. Regular maintenance will help keep your engine in top condition and extend its lifespan.

Maintenance Schedules

Following a structured maintenance schedule ensures the major components of your vehicle are properly serviced and gives your vehicle the best defence against catastrophic failure.

Tire Pressures

Maximize the lifespan of your tires by always maintaining proper tire pressure. Improper tire pressure not only causes pre mature tire wear, but also will affect your vehicles fuel mileage and handling.

Fuel

Not all fuel is created equally, and octane rating matters. It is important to chose the recommended fuel for your vehicle. Unless otherwise specified, if the manufacturer recommends that you run 91 octane, its because the vehicles computer is tuned for that. Same as if they recommend 87 octane.
