By following these maintenance tips, you can improve your vehicle’s performance while increasing its longevity and enhancing your overall driving experience. 1. Maintain proper tire pressure. Regularly check and adjust your tire pressure according to your vehicle’s specifications. Underinflated tires lead to poor tire wear and fuel efficiency, while overinflated tires result in uneven wear and an unusual suspension feel. 2. Pay attention to shock absorbers and struts. Both of these components significantly impact how your vehicle drives and influence other systems like brakes and suspension. Worn-out shock absorbers can cause premature brake wear and affect braking performance. Replace these components as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer. 3. Regularly replace your cabin air filter. Your car’s cabin air filter prevents dust and mold buildup, ensuring high-quality air for you and your passengers to breathe. Try to replace the filter at least once a year to avoid unpleasant odors and maintain a healthy interior environment.

some pocket ones they make some simple
ones at home we use a digital one and
just remove the
cap check the air pressure and set it to
at least minimum specifications but your
tire will give you a maximum pressure
specification and if you run it closer
to the maximum you will get better fuel
economy the other simple
thing is an air filter most air filters
are very simple to replace pop a couple
