What condition is your car in? Whether it's a new or used car, to maintain its value you need to keep it in good condition. How; With proper and regular car maintenance.
Regular maintenance includes dashboard, engine, paint, as well as tire, battery and oil checks. Proper inspection will extend the life of your car, and it will continue to keep you safe as you drive, while saving you money on expensive repairs.
Let's take a closer look at how you can keep your car looking like new by following the steps below.
Car Air Conditioning Maintenance
First, to keep your car looking like new, you should do regular maintenance on its air conditioner.
But how is the car's air condition maintained? The air conditioning circuit consists of the compressor, which receives movement from the engine belt, while its purpose is to channel the coolant, or Freon, into the system.
The freon then reaches the condenser at a higher temperature than the air and is cooled and liquefied there. On the way, the coolant is filtered – that is, all foreign particles and moisture are removed from the filter drier.
Finally, the coolant reaches the evaporator, which converts the liquid into gaseous form.
Simply put, the purpose of coolant is to keep the engine at operating temperature and not lead to overheating, which can cause serious damage to the car's engine.
Otherwise, if good and regular maintenance of the car's air condition is not done, the air inside the car will not be clean.
With regular maintenance, therefore, the air condition will be more efficient, while at the same time, the air conditioning system will filter dust and micro-particles, so that the air inside the car is clean.
Change Air Filters
For better performance, you may need to change the air filters, disinfecting the airways, that is, where bacteria and microorganisms that are not easily visible to the human eye live and grow.
Car Engine Maintenance
Whether you use your vehicle for short trips or demanding commutes, regular car maintenance is essential.
However, this does not mean that you should visit a car repair shop every time, especially when it comes to simple engine maintenance.
More specifically, you can very simply and easily at home or at a gas station check the oil level in the engine and see if it needs topping up or not.
Car Lubricant
For starters, don't wait until you see the warning light on your car's dashboard to check your car's engine oil.
Open the hood and check the oil level at least every two weeks, or at 1,000 miles, and always before a long trip.
To check the engine oil level you will need:
- A clean cloth or paper towel.
- A set of disposable gloves.
Of course, before doing this check, make sure the car is parked on a level road.
Lift and secure the hood and look for the oil dipstick. Pull it out and use the clean cloth or paper towel to wipe the tip. After cleaning the pointer, put it back inside.
Then quickly pull it up and hold it in a horizontal position. There should be two lines near the edge of the pointer. Ideally, the oil level should be at or near the highest line.
If the level is in the middle, near or below the minimum reading, it is recommended to top up the engine oil to bring the oil level back up to the upper limit to provide optimal protection for your engine.
