5 Essential Car Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Vehicle Running Smoothly

Tip #1: Regular Oil Changes

At Eden Auto Parts, we understand the importance of regular car maintenance. One of the most crucial tasks is changing your oil regularly. This helps to keep your engine clean and well-lubricated, reducing the risk of damage and prolonging its lifespan. We recommend checking your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval, but as a general rule, it's best to do this every 5,000-7,500 miles. Don't forget to dispose of used oil responsibly!

Tip #2: Check Your Tire Pressure

Another critical aspect of car maintenance is checking your tire pressure. Underinflated tires can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, uneven tire wear, and even accidents. Make sure to check your tire pressure at least once a month, and before any long trips. You can find the recommended tire pressure in your owner's manual or on the tire information placard on the driver's side doorjamb. Don't forget to adjust for temperature changes!

Tip #3: Replace Your Air Filter

Your air filter is responsible for keeping your engine clean by removing impurities from the air. However, it's easy to forget about replacing it until it's too late. We recommend replacing your air filter every 15,000-30,000 miles or as recommended in your owner's manual. A dirty air filter can decrease fuel efficiency and even cause damage to your engine. Don't risk it!
