Vehicular New Year's Resolutions to Follow

Keep Your Vehicle as Clean as Possible

Vehicles get dirty. That's a normal thing. And how could they not? They're in constant contact with the outside conditions, with the road, among many other elements that make them dirty. Still, while this is a normal occurrence, you shouldn't allow your vehicle to stay dirty for too long. Doing so can have some dire consequences with its performance, its appearance, and its lifespan. For one, dirt, bird poop, and other gunk can take a toll on your vehicle's paint job. More importantly, that same gunk could introduce itself into the vehicle's inner system, and accelerate the vehicle's wear and tear process. Surprisingly, a dirty vehicle can also affect your wallet and your health. Its resale value may drop due to the negative consequences that originate from it. And, driving around in a germ-infested box is not good news for your body, either. To avoid all of these troubles, make this the year in which you will wash your vehicle every few weeks.

Be Diligent With Its Synthetic Oil Changes

One of the best things you can do for your vehicle's maintenance, is to care for the engine properly (since it is the most valuable component in the machine). And the way to do that is to change its synthetic oil with regularity. The synthetic oil is in charge of coating the engine, lubricating it and protecting it. This is extremely important, because the engine's components brush against each other when they move, which could result in wear and tear. Still, after some time and use, the synthetic oil becomes thin, dirty and ineffective, and can no longer provide the protection the engine needs. To guarantee your engine won't shut down due to old oil, keep the new year's resolution to change the synthetic oil in your vehicle at least twice a year.

Is it time to give your engine some new oil? Feed it with AMSOIL's Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil, the best synthetic oil in Frankford, ON to keep it strong and healthy for longer.

Be a Gentler Driver

If you want to be a safe, more money and fuel-conscious, and smarter driver, you need to become a more gentler driver. This is because driving around like a madman (speeding, hitting curbs, slamming on the brakes, giving sharp turns, and more) can be bad for your well-being, for your wallet, and for the environment. The harder you make the vehicle work, the more fuel it will waste. Needless to say, there's also the risk of you getting into an accident because of your reckless driving. Finally, being an irresponsible driver will cause excessive damage to the vehicle's components. If you don't want any of this, become a gentler driver during this new year.

Take Proper Care of the Vehicle

Lastly, you need to take proper care of your vehicle if you want it to be safe, functional, cost-effective, and pretty for years to come. To that end, you first need to pay attention to it. As you drive, notice if there's anything odd going on with it. If you notice something, take it to the mechanic immediately. Also, aside from caring for the synthetic oil replacements, you should also be aware and on top of the other maintenance needs your vehicle has (checking the brakes, changing the transmission fluid, and more). Finally, be sure to take your vehicle to a professional mechanic, who can assess its condition and service it adequately, so your vehicle can have a longer lifespan.
