Replace Cabin Air Filter
Most manufacturers recommend for the cabin air filter to be replaced once every year or at 12,000 to 15,000 miles of driving. While this is merely a guideline, it is important that you perform this task on a regular basis. It’s simple enough for most people to do and includes just a few steps, however it can easily be done at a service center around you if you don’t want to do it yourself.
Oil Changes
It’s important that the oil in your vehicle gets changed frequently, somewhere around every 3,000-5,000 miles. How often this should be is dependent upon several factors:
- – If you drive in mild or severe conditions (e., stop and go traffic, frequent short trips, etc.)
- – The age of the car
- – Whether you use conventional or synthetic oil
If you are unsure how often you should be changing your oil, ask the technician the next time you get your car serviced in Orlando, FL. Typically, service centers will let you know when to bring it back for its next oil change, but if they haven’t told you then definitely ask.
Rotate Tires
Many people forget to have their tires rotated because it doesn’t get done often. Now is a great time to find out if the tires are due to be rotated and aligned. By neglecting this, you can run into multiple issues including uneven tread wear. Most manufacturers recommend you rotate the tires every 5,000-10,000 miles. A lot of times the place where you purchased the tires will rotate them for you- however, if that’s not the case you can take your car into a local service center, like the one at Orange Buick GMC, to get that completed.
