6 Common Car Maintenance Questions
The experts at the Finch Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram service centre are here to guide you through common maintenance questions.
1. Why Should I Follow A Routine Maintenance Schedule?
Following a routine maintenance schedule allows you to keep up with your vehicle’s mechanics and provide preventative care. The manufacturer intervals are designed with your vehicle’s mechanics in mind, allowing for rotation, lubrication, or replacement when most needed. We encourage you to keep up with your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram service intervals for the longevity of your vehicle.
2. How Soon After the Check Engine Light Comes on Should I Schedule Maintenance?
It is important to schedule service as soon as possible after your check engine light comes on. While this warning light can indicate a variety of issues, it is best to address it in order to prevent further damage. Our team of experts will use top of the line diagnostic technology to get to the bottom of the issue promptly and get you back on the road as soon as possible.
3. How Often Do I Need To Get an Oil Change?
Keeping up with routine oil changes helps maintain engine performance and longevity. We recommend oil changes around every 8,000 km for best results.
4. Is it Important to Rotate My Tires?
Rotating your tires helps prevent uneven wear and tear, resulting in better performance and a longer life span.
5. Do I Actually Need to Change My Air Filters?
Yes! Your cabin air filter ensures that your A/C not only works properly but that you are not circulating contaminated air throughout the cabin. Your engine air filter helps keep the proper air ratio as well as keep out contaminants from the engine. Over time, these filters collect debris that keeps them from properly functioning which is why you should keep up with replacements.
6. How do I Know if My Battery Health is Low?
There are several indicators to be on the lookout for if you believe you have low battery health including, delay in starting, dimming interior or exterior lights, glitchy electronics, or a dashboard warning light. If you notice any of these signs we encourage you to schedule maintenance as soon as possible.
