Autumn is Here

And for most drivers, this season represents adversity and change as is the transition period between the most extreme weather temperatures. Fall comes with climate events that can surprise drivers on the road, among them are the rain, fog, snow, and iced roads that announce, in a way, the arrival of winter. In addition, in autumn the nights are longer, so the risks of accidents can increase, as night driving is more dangerous than driving during the day. Please pay attention to the following suggestions to keep your car in shape for autumn, while being safe during this complex season.

Check the Lights

Now that the hours of sun are beginning to decrease, this is a key aspect of your vehicle and your safety. So the first thing you should do is check headlights, taillights, parking lights, brake lights, and turn signals. It will be very useful to ask someone you know for help to tell you if they are okay. Experts advise checking the car's lights every five years, as over time the bulbs fade and their performance puts the driver's safety at risk. Remember that, in addition to being dangerous, wearing a blown headlight is can grant you a traffic ticket; so you have to be extremely careful in this regard to make sure this doesn't happen to you. Use the lights when necessary and remember to turn them off when you exit a tunnel. In addition, they will illuminate better if when washing the car you clean the headlight on the outside, using a cloth and glass cleaner.

Rear Window

Check that the rear heated window works correctly. Surely you haven't used it during the summer months but you must run these checks just for those days when you'll really need it. If it doesn't work, it may just be a matter of changing a simple fuse.

Don't forget to stop by ESYNTHETICMOTOROIL's website to start getting familiar with AMSOIL's wide range of products. Or, you can give them a call (513) 348-0758 to place an order for the most effective synthetic oil in Fairfield Township.

Tires

This is one, if not the most, critical aspect when it comes to getting the car ready for autumn. It's recommended to change the regular ones for winter tires once the colder season starts. Even so, if they are more than four years old, it is also advisable to replace them, since the rubber hardens and loses its effectiveness. Try to make them last as long as possible, by driving as smoothly as you can. Also, it's important to avoid curbs when parking and, above all, to carry them with the appropriate pressure (you have to check them every month and before embarking on any long trip).

Hoping For the Best, But Expecting the Worst

In the event that you puncture a wheel, remind yourself to bring or carry a spare wheel in the trunk to the necessary pressure and tools for its placement.

Wipers and Brushes

The purpose of the wipers is to completely clean the windshield. Check that their rubber is not cracked and that they sweep the windshield correctly.

How Do You Know They Don't Work Anymore?

When they leave traces of dirt, or start getting louder as they clean the windshield. Remember, their maximum useful life is two years. To extend their use, just clean them once a month with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol and a soft cloth. What you can't do is use them to remove ice from the windshield. You should know that during the summer, and due to the high temperatures, they could have been in poor condition.

Change the Oil

When changing the car's oil, it should be done with the car cold and parked on the level, and then remove the dipstick from the engine compartment. Most cars have a warning light on the instrument panel that warns if the level drops too low. On the other hand, if the engine runs on gasoline and you see that the oil is getting very black, take it as a sign to replace it. But, in diesel motors, it's more common for it to darken so don't panic if this is your particular scenario. Lastly, if you wish to extend the life of your car's oil, you should avoid short trips and reckless driving.
