Be sure to always wear safety glasses when necessary, as well as other personal protective equipment such as latex gloves and closed toe shoes.  \n1. Check the Oil  \n2. Check the tire pressure  \n3. Check the battery  \n4. Check the coolant  \n5. Check the windshield wiper fluid and blades  \n6. Check your lights  \nVehicle Maintenance Checklist  \n1. Check the Oil  \nFor help, view pictures of how to check engine oil.  \nMotor oil is designed to lubricate, cool and seal internal engine components. That’s why regularly checking and changing engine oil is an important part of overall vehicle maintenance. Running the engine with little or no oil will cause the engine to overheat and eventually seize up. Neglecting to change the oil periodically will shorten the life of your engine.  \nStep 1  \nStep 2  \nStep 3  \nStep 4  \nStep 5  \nStep 6  \nStart your vehicle and warm up the engine. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine. Wait 2 or 3 minutes to allow the oil to drain to the bottom of the oil pan.  \nOpen the hood and locate the engine oil dipstick. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the exact location.  \nPull the oil dipstick out of the tube and wipe off the engine oil with a clean shop rag.  \nReinsert the dipstick into the dipstick tube all the way.  \nPull the oil dipstick out and check the oil level. The oil level should be between the Min and Max marks on the dipstick.  \nAdd oil if below the Min mark. It takes one quart to raise the oil level from Minto Max.  \n2. Check the tire pressure  \nFor help, view pictures of how to check tire pressure.  \nTire pressure is often overlooked, but it directly influences how a vehicle performs on the road. Low tire pressure can affect handling, overall ride and fuel economy. Overinflating tires can cause the vehicle to ride hard, and the tires to wear prematurely. It’s also important to know that temperature directly affects tire pressure. Be sure to check your vehicle’s tire pressure on a regular basis. For even more tire care tips, click here.  \nStep 1  \nStep 2  \nStep 3  \nStep 4  \nLocate the tire’s valve stem.  \nUsing a tire pressure gauge, hold the gauge down on the valve stem to get the tire’s pressure reading. Perform this step for all of the tires on your vehicle.  \nCompare the tire pressure to the information on the sticker located on the driver side door jam. Please make sure that the tires are cold and have not been driven on for at least an hour as the tire’s air pressure will increase as the temperature of the tire increases.  \nIf needed, inflate the tires to the manufacturer’s specifications.  \nTeen Driver Car Maintenance and Repair Guide  \n2  \nVehicle Maintenance Checklist  \n3. Check the battery  \nClick here for a step-by-step guide on how to replace a battery.  \nYour car’s battery stores the electrical energy necessary to start your vehicle’s engine and power electrical components while the engine is not running. The battery should be secure to prevent damage, and the cable connections should be clean and tight to allow the proper flow of electricity. Most car batteries are a sealed lead acid type battery that lasts from three to five years depending on driving conditions. If your engine turns over slowly, this is a good indication that your battery is nearing the end of its life. If your car does not start at all, chances are, your battery is already dead. Replacing a battery is not a difficult job on most cars, just remember to wear hand and eye protection.  \nStep 1  \nStep 2  \nStep 3  \nUsing a digital multi-meter, check the battery voltage with the engine off and the battery cool. A digital multi-meter is reasonably priced and easily available at your local auto parts store.
