Keep Your Car Running Smoothly: A Guide to Essential Fluids 🚗💨
Your car depends on six key fluids to perform at its best. Regular checks and maintenance are vital for a long and healthy vehicle life. Here's a quick rundown:
1️⃣ Engine Oil: Lubricates engine parts and prevents overheating. Change every 3,000-7,500 miles (check your manual for specifics).
2️⃣ Transmission Fluid: Keeps gears shifting smoothly. Change every 30,000-60,000 miles (or as recommended by your car's manufacturer).
3️⃣ Brake Fluid: Ensures reliable braking power. Change every two years, or sooner if your brakes feel weak or spongy.
4️⃣ Coolant (Antifreeze): Regulates engine temperature. Change every 30,000-50,000 miles, and check levels regularly.
5️⃣ Power Steering Fluid: Makes steering easy. Change around 50,000 miles, or if your steering feels stiff.
6️⃣ Windshield Washer Fluid: Keeps your windshield clean. Refill as needed, especially before long drives or bad weather.
Looking after these fluids will help keep you safe on the road and your car running for years to come!

Understanding How to Read a Tire is crucial when selecting the right one for your vehicle. Let’s break down tire markings like 205/55R16 91V:
1. Tire Width (205):
Indicates the tire’s width in millimeters. In this example, the tire is 205 mm wide. Wider tires usually offer better grip.
2. Aspect Ratio (55):
Represents the sidewall height as a percentage of the tire’s width. Here, it’s 55%, meaning shorter sidewalls for better handling but reduced comfort.
3. Construction (R):
“R” stands for radial construction, the most common type. Radial tires are known for their durability and smooth performance.
4. Rim Diameter (16):
This is the wheel diameter, measured in inches, that the tire fits. In this case, it’s designed for a 16-inch rim.
5. Load Index (91):
Shows the maximum weight each tire can carry. For example, a “91” rating means it can hold up to 615 kg.
6. Speed Rating (V):
Denotes the maximum speed the tire can handle, with “V” indicating a limit of 240 km/h (149 mph).

Ever wondered about the flat springs in the rear and how they work?

A four link suspension system consists of two upper control arms (front and rear) and two lower control arms (front and rear) and a steering knuckle. Each control arm usually has a ball joint on one end and a bushing on the other.

Remember... just because your car “runs fine “ doesn’t mean you’re looking after its best interests this could be happening deep inside. Your health is the same ...do a periodic check on both. 🤔

This is what can happen when servicing gets missed. This filter is meant to just keep your oil clean till next service rather than become totally clogged with dirty oil. At this stage it may be all over for the engine. 😲

Thankfully we have had the boys doing their best in the forefront and Robert Douglas newly dropped in the deep end has been doing his best in a difficult situation- we appreciate your patience and everyone’s efforts. Thanks again
