Check Fluids and Tires
Planning to go out-of-town with your family and friends? Better check the car fluids and tires to avoid car accidents while on a trip. Here are a few reminders to all drivers out there:
For the Fluids:
Check engine oil and coolant, differentials, transmission , brake, clutch (if hydraulic) and battery electrolyte.
Change or refill as necessary. If needed.
Keep important records.
If any of the above mentioned is very low, you may have a major leak.
Find the cause and repair before you hit the road.
For the Tires:
Check air pressure, add if needed.
Look at sidewalls for signs of dry-rot (dry and cracking rubber). If you see rot, it might be a good idea to replace the tire(s).
Does the tread come up to at least Lincoln’s head on a penny (2/32″)? If not, better replace the tire(s).
