We’re very thankful for what has been a strong year for our company. Low Mileage Engines has been able to serve more customers this year than any year before, and in this economy, that makes us very thankful!

Here are a few tips that will help you make sure your car doesn’t go down before you head out of town! These things should be done well before you get on the road!

1. Check your oil level. You don’t want to overfill your oil, just have it slightly below the “full” indicator on the dipstick. If you need an oil change as determined by your owners manual, get one today!
2. Check the coolant level in your vehicle. Make sure the vehicle has been off overnight before doing this! For most vehicles, this means you should just check your coolant reservoir. If your vehicle is low on coolant, you need to add more, and figure out what is causing it to be low! Remember, your radiator is what keeps your engine from getting hot and “blowing up.” It must work properly. Period.
3. Check your tire pressure and tire wear. The owners manual of your vehicle recommends tire pressure that will give you the most comfortable ride. If you want better gas mileage, add 5psi above what is in the manual.
4. Check your brake fluid (this should be flushed every two years).
5. Check your air filter. This should be replaced one a year or every 12,000 miles. More engines wear out due to dirty air filters than dirty oil filters, and a dirty air filter can destroy your gas mileage. Since gas isn’t cheap, we think $10.00 for a good filter makes sense.
6. Check your transmission fluid. For most vehicles, you should run the car for five minutes before checking transmission fluid, so do this last.

We hope this list helps. Sadly, we know that our phones will be busy on Monday morning, because vehicles are machines made by people and they break down. If you need an engine, we’re very sorry for that – but we’d like to help. Give us a call at( 800) 709-9233, and we’ll be glad to help.
