Summer heat is nearly upon us. In light of that fact, Dave Sinclair Buick GMC would like to offer a few summer car care tips.

Change and Check Oil Regularly

Engine oil is pivotal for an engine to work. Without it, it will lock up. Ideal oil levels help improve your engine’s performance and help prevent the formation of particles within the engine. Always monitor oil levels regularly.

Monitor The Cooling System

Summer heat his hard on a working engine. Make sure antifreeze levels are always full. When you check fluid levels, be sure to never remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot.

Tire pressure

Summer heat expands air pressure in your tire so it’s good to check them regularly to make sure your tires maintain optimal air pressure during summer months.

Air conditioning

Sweating while driving is not fun. If you’re air vents barely shoot out cold air then you might want to consider an air conditioning recharge.

Windshield wipers

Effective windshield wipers combat visibility issues in summer rain storms. If the windshield wipers on your vehicle are torn or struggle to clear the windshield in a light drizzle, it’s time to get new windshield wipers.

Car Wash Cleanse

Summer road trips tend to make cars collect dirt and bugs. If you want that new car gleam, take it to the car wash.
