Buying a vehicle is an exciting experience, but have you stopped to think of what should you do after buying a used car? There are certain basics that one ought to know when it comes to maintaining your car and keeping it in good condition. A vehicle is a machine that needs constant maintenance in order to extend its life span and really see your money’s worth.

Three Important Things to Check on Your Car Regularly

1. Engine Oil

Before you switch on your car ignition, it is very important to 1st of all check the level of engine oil in the engine. You can check the status of your oil with the dipstick, which is marked to show where the appropriate level of the oil should be. In order to clearly see the level of the oil, remove the dipstick and clean it off and then replace it before pulling it out for the second time.

Upon pulling it out for the second time, check to make sure that the oil is within the limits and is not dark in color or viscous. Dark engine oil always signifies over usage and it’s always important to replenish it with new oil.

What Should You Do After Buying a Used Car?

Engine oil should be changed constantly and is based on the car manufacturer’s recommendations, and this information can normally be indicated in the car owner’s manual. Typically, this can be done between 3,000 miles to 10,000 miles.

Another fluid that can be regularly checked is the coolant or anti-freeze, as the coolant plays a very important role in preventing the car from overheating. You can actually monitor the temperature gauge on the car’s dashboard.

2. Brake Fluid

Brake fluid is also another fluid that 1 ought to pay attention to. This brake fluid is very important and it’s one of the safety features of the car, as without the fluid the hydraulic brake system cannot operate.

Always ensure that this brake fluid will flush out and replenished with new fluid as most people tend to forget about replacing it from time to time.

Brake Fluid

Washer fluid is also vital in that it keeps your field of vision clear when driving and this needs to refill from time to time. Besides this, it really helps in off-road trips as different types of weather come with different challenges in terms of rains, dirt, snow, and muddy soil. This brings also the issue of always ensuring that wiper blades are also in good condition.

3. Tire Pressure, Sounds & Smells

Another issue that we normally forget to check every morning when rushing to work or some places are car tire pressure. Tire pressure is very important in that it affects not only your speed but also the fuel consumption of the car increases with an inflated tire, as the engine always burns more fuel with inflated tires than at normal pressure of tires.

Tire Pressure

Additionally, paying particular attention to how your car sounds and feels is also very important as there is almost always something wrong whenever there is a change of sound.

There are typically signs of problems whenever a dashboard light comes on or you notice a leak or smoke. Strange or unusual smells can also alert you to potential issues and should address them as soon as possible.
