Each year we make a list of New Year’s resolutions, it probably includes: working on your body, eating cleaner, being more positive, getting a new job, or traveling somewhere unknown. This year, don’t make all your resolutions about yourself, instead, resolve to do something nice for your car. Taking great care of your car is one of the easiest goals you can achieve this year. To help you complete this resolution, Huff OilGroup has some great tips on how you can begin. Read this article to jump start your journey to great car care in Cumberland County. Keep It Clean Coming to think of it, perhaps this is the hardest task in your resolution, but just imagine stepping into a clean and great smelling car every day. Once a week, give yourself the task to clear all the extra things you carry around in your car. Start by removing all the garbage that you have accumulated since last year, taking out whatever extras you’re storing there and leaving them home. Thoroughly wash the exterior and give it a wax for good measure. If you want, you can even get all the carpets and upholstery vacuumed and cleaned inside too. Replace the Wiper Blades Can you remember the last time you replaced your wiper blades? You probably can’t. If the wipers leave streaks instead of clear windows, the frames are bent, or the rubber is cracking it’s time to change them. Make a promise to your car that you will replace the wiper blades every 6 months. Changing them this January makes it even easier to remember that you’re due to replace them in June. Get a Synthetic Oil Change and Replace the Filter You know that an oil change is necessary every once in a while, but did you know that getting a synthetic oil change can be even more beneficial for your engine? Skipping your oil change intervals can damage your engine and all the parts that work with it. So if it’s time to get that oil changed, start your year by trying out synthetic oil. Don’t forget that if you change the oil you should also replace the oil filter. You are getting new, contaminant free oil and leaving your old filter can pollute it. That filter has been collecting dirt, rust, and other contaminants that can slip into your new oil. Make a completely clean start by getting a synthetic oil change and a filter change together. If you are new to the synthetic oil world you should be getting the best oil in the market, which means you should be getting AMSOIL synthetic oil. Huff Oil Group has every AMSOIL automotive product you need… including the filter. To buy your products call them at: (910) 988-9328 or visit their online store. Save on Fuel The best way to start saving on fuel is to change your driving style. By saving on fuel you can also take care of the environment by reducing your car emissions. Make it your goal to become an eco-driver. Slow down when you drive, keep a steady speed, accelerate and stop slowly and smoothly. Working on being a smart driver can prolong your vehicle’s lifespan. Consider being gentler with your accelerator and brakes, warming up your car on cold days, keeping the load in your trunk lighter, and never driving with an almost empty gas tank. Remember Your Tires Your tires are more than just what keeps your car rolling, they are active participants in your fuel efficiency as well. Having under-inflated tires can actually make you burn more gas. Buy a tire gauge, a simple and inexpensive tool that allows you to check your tire pressure at home. You can simply go to a gas station to fill them up. Consult your owner’s manual or the label on the driver’s side door for the pressure levels. Don’t forget to take care of your spare. Have your tires rotated each time you replace your oil or check your owner’s manual for a more precise rotation interval. Rotating your tires will help them wear out evenly. If you want to go further into tire care, learn to change a tire. Maybe it's something you already know how to do, but if you don't it will be an extra skill to add to your many talents. Bonus: Start Your Own Business Although this suggestion isn't about car care, it's still car related.If one of your other resolutions this year was to become an entrepreneur, you should become an AMSOIL dealer. Huff Oil Group can tell you how you can start your own business. For your Synthetic Oil Change A great way to star the New Year is by getting your much needed AMSOIL synthetic oil change. Don't wait too long to call Huff Oil Group at: (910) 988-9328 to get your AMSOIL synthetic oil in Cumberland County. Treat your car right and it will do the same for you.
