Check Your Fluids and Tire Pressure
It takes roughly 10 minutes to check the all the fluid levels and tire pressure in your vehicle. However, there are a lot of people who simply never do it, which is a huge mistake. By far the most important fluid to check is your engine oil, because the car cannot function properly without it. Also, make sure that you are changing your oil at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals as well.
Listen for odd Noises
Another tip to keep your older vehicle running for years to come is to listen for odd noises. We recommend turning the radio down once in awhile on your commute to listen for anything that sounds out of the ordinary on your vehicle. Listen both while you are driving and while the vehicle is idling.
