October is Car Care month, and if youve ever had
a car break down - as most of us have - you know
how frustrating it can be. A breakdown can mean
both time and money spent, so how can you try to
avoid getting caught in that situation? This car
maintenance checklist provides a few things you
can do to help keep your car in good working
order, thereby reducing your chances of being
stuck in the rain without a ride. Car maintenance
checklist   Car maintenance starts with something
very simple cleanliness. You might be used to
cleaning your car for the aesthetics, but did you
know that grime and salt from the road can also
get stuck on the underside of your car and cause
damage over time? Wash your car on a regular
basis to help prevent this from
happening.   Next, theres a reason people say
they want a well-oiled machine. Change your
cars oil as often as recommended by the
manufacturer- usually every 4,000 to 5,000 miles.
But dont stop there. You should also take a look
at the levels of the other car fluids, including
brake, transmission, power steering and transaxle
fluids. When it comes to brake fluids, the system
should be flushed every 30,000 miles. Once youre
done checking those, head to the battery
terminals and make sure theyre clean.

If not, it can be harder for electrical currents
to pass through your cars system. Each month,
you should also ensure your tire pressure is at
the recommended level for your car. Now, youre
almost done with these recommended car
maintenance checks. Take a look at your wheel
bearings and engine belts. The bearings should be
cleaned and repacked on a regular basis, and the
belts should simply be inspected to ensure
theyre in good shape. After checking that off
your list, lubricate the moving parts in your
ride, such as ball joints and u-joints. Lack of
grease in these areas can cause damage. Last
but not least, your cars coolant should be
replaced and the whole system should be flushed
out once a year. These are just a few general
tips to help keep you informed and help keep your
car running well. Remember, be sure to consult
your owners manual for specific recommendations,
and contact a licensed repair facility for help
with your car maintenance.   Article Resource
