Maintenance tip Monday!


Most vehicle manuals recommend that you service your vehicle more frequently if you drive in "severe" conditions. Most drivers are surprised at what counts for severe driving. In fact, for most drivers, "normal" driving habits are actually "severe"! 
"Severe" driving conditions include one or more of the following:
driving in stop and go traffic
driving in extremely hot or cold temperatures
driving at prolonged higher engine speeds
taking multiple trips averaging 5 to 10 miles in length
frequent cold start-ups and shut downs
extensive engine idling
towing and/or hauling heavy loads
driving in dusty or muddy conditions
driving in mountainous terrain
Protect your car with proper maintenance to counteract the effects of severe driving.
