Maintenance
Tips
A well maintained vehicle speaks volumes about you as an
owner. More importantly, it will not desert you when you need
it most. Read on for tips on specifics.
Engine Oil: To prevent engine deterioration,
it is imperative that the engine maintains the amount of oil
it is programmed to receive. Negligence in this aspect will
lead to a deteriorating engine performance, resulting in
falling mileage.

Lights: It is important for the lights to be properly
focused, for your own and for the oncoming vehicle's safety. Travel
on low beam so that it does not obstruct your view instead of
helping you along.
Tyre Pressure: The required amount of air pressure
needs to be strictly maintained if your car is to get the right
mileage and pick-up.
Water: If your engine uses water for cooling, take
care to ensure that it is regularly changed. Water can also be used
for cleaning the windshield.
