There are many sensors and computerized components that manage your vehicle\u2019s engine performance and emissions. When one of these fails, the \u201ccheck engine\u201d light is illuminated. Although your car may seem to run fine, it is important to have the issue addressed to prevent long-term problems or failure of emission tests.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This is a very serious problem. If your car overheats for too long, it can damage your engine. As soon as possible, find a safe place to pull off the road and shut off the engine! Do not attempt to check the fluid level in the radiator as it can burn you. The best thing to do is have your car towed to a repair shop.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Neglecting to rotate tires is a major cause of premature tire wear. Your tires should be rotated every other oil change or every 5,000 miles.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You should get your oil changed every 3,000 miles or as recommended in your vehicle\u2019s owner\u2019s manual. If intervals are extended, ensure you use oil that is capable of extended mileage changes.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

YES. The failure of a timing belt in many cars can result in major engine damage. The cost of repairing an engine with a broken timing belt is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Synthetic motor oils can be a good choice for high output, turbocharged or supercharged engines, vehicles that are used for towing (especially during hot weather) or vehicles that are operated in extremely cold or hot climates. Synthetic motor oils, though several times more expensive than mineral-based motor oils, can improve fuel economy and provide longer intervals between changes. They also provide instant lubrication on start-up.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

To help ensure dependable, trouble-free performance, replace your car\u2019s fuel filter approximately every 30,000 miles or as recommended in your vehicle\u2019s owner\u2019s manual.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For maximum fuel economy and peak engine performance, your spark plugs should be replaced every 30 months or 30,000 miles, unless your vehicle is equipped with 100,000-mile platinum-tipped spark plugs.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
