Your car is your dependable friend on the road. However, it isn’t invincible. Your car requires regular maintenance to ensure that it runs smoothly and lasts as long as possible. Keeping your car in good shape also keeps you from having to spend as much money on repairs at your local Cadillac dealer. Here are car maintenance tips for keeping your Cadillac in great shape for years.
Change the Oil Frequently
You can’t go wrong by changing the oil in your 2022 Cadillac CT4 Luxury multiple times a year. Your engine will last longer and be more efficient when it is regularly serviced with new oil.
There are a few things to keep in mind, though, when changing the oil frequently. First, it’s important to use the right type of oil in your engine. If you use the wrong oil, your engine could experience decreased efficiency and increased emissions. Additionally, you should be sure to change your oil filter each time you change your oil. A clogged or dirty oil filter can cause your engine to overheat and wear out prematurely.
Get Your Brakes Checked Out
Brakes are one of those things that you don’t really think about until they aren’t working properly. If you notice that your brakes aren’t giving you the stopping power that you want, get your brakes checked out as soon as possible. If you don’t, your brakes could wear down over time, and you could end up with a serious accident.
It’s also a good idea to check your brakes once a year while they are still under warranty. Most manufacturers have a one-year warranty on brake parts, so you don’t have to worry about getting your brakes repaired at a higher cost.
Keep an Eye on Your Tires
Driving on the same set of tires for too long can cause them to wear down unevenly. They could also get a puncture, resulting in an accident or a trip to the emergency room. When your tires start to show signs of wear, it’s time to replace them. You should also keep an eye on the air pressure in your tires. Tires that are under-inflated can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and increased tire wear.
Be sure to rotate your tires every 5,000 miles or so. This will help to ensure that they wear evenly. You should also have your alignment checked if you notice that your car is pulling to one side while driving. An incorrect alignment can cause increased tire wear and decreased fuel efficiency.
Wash Your Car Often
It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget to wash your car. However, if you want to keep your car looking its best, it’s important to wash it on a regular basis. Washing your car helps to remove dirt, salt, and other debris that can damage the paint. It also helps to prevent rust and corrosion.
