When Should I Change My Tires?
Although getting new tires every so often is an important part of owning a car in King of Prussia, it can be easy to let that responsibility slip. Remember to examine your tires every so often. Here's a quick guide on how to determine if you need to purchase new tires for your vehicle.
- Examine your tire. If you notice any foreign objects puncturing the tire - such as nails, screws, pieces of glass, etc. - then you should get that tire replaced. This is especially imperative if you notice that the puncture is on one of the tread grooves.
- If there are no foreign objects, it's time to check how much the tire has worn down. To do this, grab a penny.
- Turn your penny so that Lincoln's head is pointing down at the ground.
- Insert the penny into numerous spots along the tire's tread grooves.
- Take note of how much of the penny is visible inside the tread grooves. If you can see any part of Lincoln's head, including his hair, then your tires are too worn and you should get your tires changed.
If your tires are bald, it is very important that they are replaced. If they are not, then you could lose traction while driving in hazardous conditions, such as rain, snow, and ice.
When Should I Get an Oil Change?
In general, most people believe that you should get an oil change every three months or 3,000 miles. However, many modern cars can last up to 7,500 miles or greater before getting an oil change. To know definitively if you need an oil change, take note of the following warning signs while you're driving around West Chester:
- Removing the dipstick to find dark and/or dirty oil.
- Oil change or check engine light comes on.
- Engine noises become louder or a knocking sound becomes apparent.
- Smoke coming from the exhaust pipe.
- The odor of oil becomes present inside the vehicle.
Scheduling an oil change may seem like a simple, non-essential task, but it's one of the most important factors contributing to the longevity of your car.
