Even if your used Chevy has climbed well past the 100,000-mile mark, it could still have a lot of life left in it. And to help ensure that it grows old gracefully, you’ll want to focus particularly on regular maintenance and care.
Routine Maintenance
The best way to keep your used Chevy running well is by ensuring it gets routine maintenance. At the top of this list needs to be oil changes. Clean oil is essential for a healthy engine, so get it changed when it’s due.
You also need to make sure that all of the other fluids in your car are at the proper levels. In addition, look at your filters to see how dirty they are and if a change is necessary.
Tires
Without tires in good condition, your car’s performance will suffer. On top of that, when tires are not inflated to their proper levels or the alignment is off, this can have an impact on other components.
Warning Signs
Sometimes your car will let you know it needs some attention. Squeaky breaks or a drop in fuel economy are big red flags. Ignoring them will only result in bigger – and probably more expensive – repairs.
Storage
Where do you usually keep your car when it’s at your home? If you can, it should be stored in a garage or at least under covered parking. In addition to avoiding the harsh rays of the sun – which can hurt the car’s paint – this will also help protect it from extreme temperatures.
