How to Spring Clean Your Vehicle

Go Through an Intense Decluttering Session

It happens to the best of us. One day, you're going out, and you leave a jacket in the vehicle just in case. Another day, you stop by a drive-in restaurant, and you leave the trash in the vehicle. Yet another day, you forget one of your books in the back seat. Before you know it, your vehicle is basically a junkyard with wheels. If you do this constantly, you will end up with a dirty vehicle that can stress you out. Moreover, the extra weight can strain your engine. To avoid dire consequences, grab a basket and a trash bag and start going through everything in your vehicle. What you want to keep and put back in its place, throw in the basket. Put the trash in the trash bag.

Change Up the Fluids and the Filters

One way to keep your vehicle clean that you may not have thought of is to change the fluids and filters. As you're aware, your vehicle requires a transmission fluid, a braking fluid, a synthetic oil, a coolant, and other fluids to work correctly. Still, over time and use, these can pick up dirt around them and get dirty. Luckily, there are filters that help keep some of the dirt from reaching the inner components, but these can get overly dirty, too. To ensure your vehicle is squeaky clean inside and out, you have to perform fluid and filter replacements.

Regular synthetic oil changes can keep your engine clean, strong, and healthy for longer. Use AMSOIL's Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil, the most effective synthetic oil in Frankford, for your synthetic oil changes.

Wash and Wax Your Vehicle

Needless to say, since you're trying to deep clean your vehicle, you will have to go through a washing and waxing session. The washing will allow you to remove all of the dirt, gunk, and filth in your vehicle that can eat away at your vehicle's paint job. The waxing will help provide a protective layer to keep your vehicle looking good as new for longer. As you're cleaning your vehicle, wash every single inch (even the tires) and vacuum the interiors. Make sure that you go through every nook and cranny to have a completely spotless and sanitary vehicle.

Visit Your Trusted Mechanic

Finally, since you're already caring for your vehicle, why not use this opportunity to have a trusted mechanic assess its condition and provide the maintenance it needs? It's a good idea to service your vehicle once a new season begins to ensure it will be able to withstand its challenges. And as the temperatures rise and the snow starts to melt, your vehicle will need all the help it can get to perform smoothly and effectively. A visit to your mechanic for a routine inspection can help keep it and you safe.

A clean and well-maintained vehicle will perform good as new for longer. Maintain yours with AMSOIL's full line of top products. Call Lee ; Rita Downhill at (613) 398-1144 or browse AMSOIL's online store to place an order on the most effective synthetic oil in Frankford.
