A vehicle is a piece of engineering that has a really high level of complexity. Sometimes we do not realize it, because today, the sophistication and modernity that has been achieved in the world of cars prevents us from seeing it since we drive cars that are much more than just vehicles. This breaks our line of sight between the piece of engineering we drive and the car as a product we consume. Despite this, it is important to remember that when we leave the car dealerships in Badalona with our brand new car, we have to take into account a series of basic maintenance tips to ensure that our vehicle will not fall into any of the more frequent car breakdowns.
The ideal is to avoid stepping on the workshop as much as possible. Going to a workshop means that a mishap has occurred to our car, and therefore, by implementing the following 5 basic maintenance tips that we will see below, we will be able to avoid problems that could end in serious breakdowns.
Taking care of engine oil is essential for the proper functioning of our vehicle. We have to take into account that the engine is the main element of our car, so we must take care of it as it deserves. The oil makes the engine run smoothly, so you have to get used to checking it frequently, through the oil level dipstick located in the engine area, under the hood.
Wheels are also essential. On the one hand, we have to check tire pressure frequently, this is important because low-pressure tires will consume more fuel and can pose a risk to driving. On the other hand, it must also be taken into account that it is important that the tires are in good condition and have the tread levels that at least the current legislation indicates.
It is important to try to prevent the car from being stored or in reserve for a long time. This is recommended because waste is usually found at the end of the tank, which is stored in that fuel that is usually left in the reserve and that could damage the vehicle's engine. Although it is true that modern cars come prepared to be able to work with these small residues, it should be taken into account.
It may seem like a far cry from what reasonable maintenance would be for any vehicle, but nothing is further from the truth. Keeping our vehicle clean, both inside and out, guarantees that its life will be longer, because there are residues that eat the different materials such as paints and plastics and it is convenient to eliminate them. In addition, it must be borne in mind that the more care we take the car, the less value it will lose in the market and this will allow us to have opportunities to sell it in the future, in case we want to, for a higher price.
In the vehicle we carry coolant, to avoid overheating of the engine if it occurs. Brake fluid, steering fluid and others. It is important to check them periodically to avoid problems.
