10 steps to prepare your car for Summer
Finally, the warmer weather seems to be on its way. As with any change of seasons, it’s important to stop and take stock of the impact that the recent weather may have had on your car. With the seasonal change from Winter to Spring to Summer, you may find your vehicle in need of some much needed maintenance. Here’s a helpful checklist that you can use to keep your car performing at the top of its game.
1. Check your fluids.
The season change is a great time to go through your car from front to back and check that your fluids are topped up and ready to take on the warmer weather. You should check the power steering; brake; transmission; windscreen washer fluid; coolant; and water levels. Bear in mind that your power steering, brake and coolant fluids work in a closed system. If you find their levels are low you should investigate further: it could indicate a slow leak.
2. Change your oil and oil filter.
Keeping clean oil running through your engine is one of the best ways of preserving it and keeping it functioning without trouble. A season change is a great time to change out your oil and replace your filter.
3. Check your spark plugs.
Take time to check that your spark plugs are in full working order. Worn out spark plugs can have a big impact on your fuel efficiency so they should be regularly checked.
