Vehicle Care Checklist – Helpful Tips for Maintaining Your Vehicle

Regular Oil Change

Many motorists believe oil should be changed every 5,000 kms, however most late-model vehicles can go 6,000 to 8,000 km between oil changes. Check your owner’s manual and get on a routine to good vehicle care.

All Season and Winter Tires

Check tire pressure and tread depth. Check the pressure on all the tires – including the spare one – with a quality gauge when the tires are cold. Be sure to look for recommended pressure on the driver’s door jamb and not the tire wall.

Clean and Healthy Battery

Ensure the battery cable connections are tight and the terminals are free from corrosion. If the battery is more than 3 years old, it is a good idea to have it tested to determine how much life it has left. Bring it to The Landing Automotive for your FREE test!

Wiper Blades

The blades should completely clear the glass with each swipe. If your wipers are skipping, it is a good idea to look at getting new wipers. Make sure the windshield washer reservoir is filled.
