Car Maintenance Tips for Oxford Cars

On this page we have included a few useful tips to keep your car healthy. We hope that the Activ Oxford Car Section will help you find all the things that you are looking for in a new or used car.

 

  1. Keep your vehicles service history up to date. Let the experts look over your car and check how healthy it is. This will help to keep your car as healthy as possible and an up to date car history can increase the value of your vehicles when you come to sell it. Missing these service dates can also lower the value of your car to prospective buyers.
     
  2. Check the oil levels of your car once a month. This can easily be done and will help keep everything running smoothly. For more information on checking the oil levels of your car consult your car owners manual.
     
  3. Check that the the water levels that help cool your car are at the correct levels and keep them topped up.
     
  4. Check the levels of your break fluid. This can be done again by consulting your owners manual, it is however usually advised that you consult a professional to get them topped up and don't try to do it yourself.
     
  5. Check your tyre pressures. The efficiency of your car will be much more effective if you have your tyres topped up to the correct level of air. The correct levels can be found in your car manual and easily altered at petrol stations. Remember that the load that you are carrying will also affect the levels of air that you need in your tyres.
     
  6. Check the thread on your tyres. There is a legal limit to the amount of tread that tyres must have to be road worthy.
     
  7. Check your windscreen wiper blades and fluid regularly to ensure that you don't get caught out the next time that there is bad weather. Again your owners guide should be able to advise on how to carry out these proceedures.
