Whitby Fr.. PMUs. Woed lyApri 20- 1U4, Pao.15 Prevqentatilverâ car maintenance easy, saves money With spring here, it's time te begin a simple program of preventative vehicle mainten- ance. In 1993, Canadians spent an aver«e of $660 on repair work, according to the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA). With a regular prograin of preventative maintenance, smart do-i t-yourselfers can save time and money. 'We have developed a program '*designed te keep vehicles running smoothly. With our program, soon-to-be do-it-yourselfers will discover that, preventative maintenance ià easy -?nd inexpensive," says Norm Hudecki, director of technical services for the Valvoline Company. The five-point system includes checking the following: " lub rcation system " battery " tires " fuel system " overali inspection. Lubrication system Motor oul prevents critical engine parts fromn rubbing against each other and wearing down. .Changing the motor oil is an inexpensive way te protect a vehicle's engine and avoid costly repair work, improve fuel economy and keep it running smoothly. 'We recommend changing the motor oul and filter every 5,000 kilometres, but check the owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendation," says Hudecki. According teo AA, changing the motor oul and filter on a regular basis can save up to six per cent on gasoline bills. 'We recommend selecting a quality mnoter oil te prevent engins wear, te, remove darnaging contaminants and provide engins protection," says Hudecki. Choosing a quality motor oil will provide you with more than 2.5.per cent better fuel economy, saving you money on your gasoline bils. Consider selecting a synthetic motor oil for maximum engins protection, including improved heat dissipation, reduced engins wear and extended vehicle life. Batty Each year, a trained technician should check the battery te make suré the terminais are clean te avoid battery corrosion and make sure the vehicle's battery terminais are secure for maximum power. TIres Proper tire size, inflation and rotation can improve the vehicle's fuel economy, handling and extend the Mie of the vehicle. e Rotate tires regularly and make sure they are rotated from front te, back for proper alignment. Poor alignment will wear down the tires, increase fuel costs and cause the vehicle to vibrate. Vibrating will cause the vehicle's steering system and suspension te wear prematurely. e Inflate your tires. Under-i ni]ation creates excessive Under-inflated tires Wil11 increase rolling resistance and lower fuel economy. Check the owner's manual for the correct tire gauge. Fuel sstem Fue additives are relatively inexpensive and can prevent damaging deposits from building in your fuel lins, keeping your engins runnîng smoothly and avoiding costly engins or fuel fime repairs. Using a super concentrated fuel injecter cleaner once a month can help to remove damaging deposits that form at the base Of the fuel injector and intake valve. This will increase fuel sfficiency.
