Oil is essential for the lubrication of the motor, it is necessary to check that the oil level does not fall below the minimum necessary. Although many cars today have an electronic crankcase oil level indicator, check that the marks on the control rod are between the maximum and minimum. If the level is lower than the brand, the missing oil must be replaced with one of its characteristics.
The oil filter retains the impurities that the oil drags, and if the engine clogs, it could run out of lubrication, a very serious fault. It is advisable to change the oil filter in time to prevent this problem. Penrith Car Mechanics in NSW make it easier to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
Likewise, the air filter must be changed at the same time as the oil filter, since it prevents the passage of particles -from sand to insects- that the engine absorbs when taking air. If this filter is saturated, poor fuel combustion can occur, which is especially noticeable in diesel engines, due to the increase in black smoke produced by the vehicle and the lack of power.
The fuel filter, which is replaced at higher intervals than the previous ones, is responsible for filtering the impurities that have escaped from the filters of the gas stations, and preventing them from plugging ducts, injectors, etc.
Coolant liquid Stabilizes the motor temperature. The coolant works under pressure, so to avoid burns, you should never open the expansion vessel that contains it unless the liquid is cold.
Windshield washer fluid. Essential to complement the use of the windshield wipers. It must be replaced according to how much we use it. We do not recommend using water from the spout to fill the tank, as sediment from the water can damage the pipes of the system.
Brake fluid. It is not normal for the brake fluid level to drop excessively, so if we notice large differences with the last time we checked it, it is convenient to take the vehicle to the workshop for a review of the system.
Electric system
Battery. The battery is the soul of the electrical system. If we do not take good care of it, it can be downloaded and left lying anywhere. If new devices are installed, it is necessary to take into account the intensity that the battery can offer in a certain time to avoid its premature aging.
To maintain it correctly, the terminals must be clean and the electrolyte level must be maintained at all times. You can count on Penrith Car Mechanics to boost vehicle performance and reliability.
