Winter Travel Safety Tips For the Holidays – Miami Lakes Automall Dodge Winter Travel Safety Tips For the Holidays

The holidays are when most drivers get back on the road and go driving long distances. With snow and sleet a possible obstacle, keep in mind that chaining up tires is a must for ice-filled drives. There might not be a more crucial task for vehicle owners than securing their engine oil to be replenished and clean though. Dirty engine oil can lead to harming the vehicle in many ways. The engine can become damaged with decreased fuel efficiency. The oil filter will carry dirty oil that has to be replaced as well with an oil change. Noticing the signs is very important to ensure the well-being of a vehicle for the vehicle’s lifespan. The cost to replace an engine is extremely high, so of course, the most cost-effective way to keep a vehicle running sufficiently is to regularly prepare for oil-changes. Approximately 3-4 oil changes are needed through any given year for most drivers, depending on their vehicle usage and miles driven; the figure will alter also based on the type of oil a driver has and drives.

“Oil degrades over time. The longer it sits, the less viscous it becomes and thus, the less effective it will be at keeping various engine components properly lubricated,” according to Popular Mechanics magazine.

Don’t Ignore Weird Smells In the Cabin

For drivers that have noticed their vehicle is not running as smoothly or if they are smelling oil in the cabin, they should think of replacing their oil and ensure there isn’t an oil leak. A smokier exhaust, as well as an engine that overheats or acts up, are primary signs for motorists to note and follow up with before any dangers can arise.

Diligence goes a long way as debris and gunk fill the insides of a vehicle rather quickly. The market research company J. D. Power has noted that more so than any other vehicle part, the oil filter and engine oil should be replaced more often than any other item inside a vehicle. The color of the oil is the first thing a driver can note when checking their oil themself. Keeping a vehicle secure is one important aspect of driving, though vehicles are evolving to be as secure as they have ever been .
