Have you been spending your days basking in the summer sun? With a summer schedule filled with shopping, road trips, and visits to the beach, it’s unlikely that car care is top of mind. We suggest scheduling Chrysler service at Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly all summer long.
Change Your Engine Oil
Your ideal oil change schedule depends on how new your vehicle is, your mileage, and even your oil type. However, as the seasons change, it’s a good idea to check on your oil, even if your “check engine” light isn’t illuminated.
Oil loses its effectiveness as it ages, reducing its ability to lubricate your engine parts. This can lead to extra friction and cause serious engine damage. If you haven’t changed your oil lately, now is the perfect time to do so.
Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades
While spring is commonly considered the rainiest season, we oftentimes have rainy summers in Maryland too — are your windshield wipers up to the challenge? For your safety, you want to make sure that they can adequately clear your windshield. On average, we recommend changing your windshield wiper blades yearly, although some Maryland drivers may need to replace theirs twice a year.
Inspect Your Tires
When you are doing lots of traveling, it’s important to make sure your tires are ready for anything. This is particularly true with wet terrains. As you visually inspect your tires, ask yourself questions like:
- Is my tire tread at least 2/32 inches high?
- Do my tires feel inflated and firm?
- Are my tires free of unusual or uneven wear?
If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” it’s time to consider a replacement.
