3 Car Maintenance Tips That Can Help You Drive Better

Your vehicle consists of multiple interrelated systems that keep it moving down the road. Your exhaust system removes gases your engine produces. Your brake system ensures you can stop safely. Your engine cooling system prevents your car from overheating. When all your systems are running as prescribed by the manufacturer, you can still optimize your car with a few maintenance tricks so you can get the best performance from your vehicle. Additionally, regular maintenance reduces your chances of mechanical failure which could cause an accident and potentially increase your car insurance. 

Always Use the Tires Manufactured for Your Vehicle silver car
One aspect loved most about new cars is how comfortable the ride is while the car is in motion. However, you don’t have to have a new car to get a smooth ride when you are driving. The tires you place on your vehicle have a lot to do with how smooth your drive is when you are operating your vehicle, in addition to a few other components. To get the smoothest ride and reduce the impact a pothole has on your vehicle, you should always use the tires your manufacturer recommends for your vehicle. Additionally, you should check your tires regularly to ensure each tire is properly inflated. 

Add Octane Boosters to Your Tank 
The price of gas is a constant concern for many people. If you are a person who has your eye on gas prices, you want to ensure that you are doing all you can to get the maximum gas mileage for your vehicle. Octane boosters increase the grade of the fuel you place in your car. A higher octane index rating gives you more efficiency based on the blend of the fuel, which means your gas will burn slower. Purchasing an octane booster is a cost-effective way to treat your car to a higher octane of gas, instead of purchasing gas with the octane rating of 89, 93 or higher. 

Use High-Performance Motor Oil 
All oil changes aren’t created equal. Although you may prefer the least expensive oil change, for only a few dollars more, you can enhance your car’s performance by purchasing an oil change that uses high-performance motor oil. High-performance motor oil, like synthetic motor oil, contain additives that reduce friction within your engine. A reduction in friction means that all the metal, moving parts in your engine will experience less resistance than it did when you got the basic oil change. All in all, you can extend the life of your vehicle and improve its performance by choosing a better motor oil. 

You don’t have to be a mechanic to get the most out of your vehicle’s performance. With a few minor adjustments, you can ensure that you improve your drive, your gas mileage and your engine’s performance. Keeping good car of your vehicle may reduce the cost of your auto insurance. When you maintain your vehicle, you also reduce your chances of getting into an auto accident and increasing the cost of your auto insurance. 

Your safety is our priority. Call Clarion Pacific Insurance Services at 831-337-4661 for more information on Santa Cruz auto insurance.
