Importance of Maintenance Even When Driving Less

Do you find yourself driving less lately, or have you always been a low-mileage driver? If so, you still need regular maintenance at Russ Darrow Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Madison. Even though you're putting less wear and tear on your vehicle by driving it less, there are still some components that need regular checking. To learn more about low-maintenance mileage needs, read on.

Regular Oil Changes Regardless of the Odometer

There's a reason they say every 3 months or 3,000 miles. If your car does a lot of sitting and less driving, you still need fresh, clean engine oil to ensure everything runs smoothly. It's best to keep up on the schedule of every 3 months if you use conventional oil or 6 months if using synthetic oil when you're a low-mileage driver.

 

Have the Fluid Levels and Condition Checked

The fluids in your car keep your engine and all its parts working properly. When you take your low-mileage vehicle into Russ Darrow Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Madison, we will check all your fluids, such as coolant, and replace them as necessary. We always keep a record of everything we do, so we'll know exactly where we left off on your next visit.

 

Have the Tire Pressure Checked

Tires that sit can lose air, too. For this reason, have a technician check your tire pressure during your regularly scheduled maintenance. This helps to keep your tires balanced, resulting in less wear and tear. You may also need tire rotation and/or tire balancing services at this time.
