1. Street Racing And Your vehicle
The thickness affects how the engine performs. Older cars tend to be worn down, and thin oil
will cause more friction between parts. This causes the car to wear out faster than normal.
Thicker oil is better as your car ages, but thick oil can make it harder for your car to cope with
cold conditions.
So where did my friendly pet store owner take me to find a serious dog urine cleaning
product? She led me next door, to the auto supply house. She asked the proprietor to search
his shelves for a product that would be good enough to remove the smell and stain from my
porch wall, but which would not be so strong that it would remove the paint. The product he
had in stock was called Unbelievable!, from CORE Products Co., Inc., (but the man at the
auto parts near me said there are other brands that work as well).
Many of the products that you use to clean your car are very acidic and can harm your paint,
your expensive aluminum wheels and the plastic trim on the outside of your vehicle. There
are however water based products at your favorite auto store near me that clean just as
successfully as the toxic products. So be careful when selecting which product you want to
use. Using the toxic cleaners and especially if you do not wipe all of the chemical off, can
cause long-term damage to your car, the environment and you.
One of the most used yet most overlooked parts of the vehicle is the windshield wiper which
is also known as the windscreen wiper. Most owners of vehicles only notice that this part is
there once the rain or the snow starts to pour. What this part does is it wipes away rain, dirt,
or snow from the vehicle's windshield. It is a legal requirement to have a windshield wiper.
The bolts referred to as M8 will appear as a star also known as an inverted torx, M8 is the
size of the bolts. The socket and or tool used to remove these will be available at any auto
parts store near me.
Get a tune-up: Is your car running poorly now? Wait until the winter gets here to push it over
the edge! This may sound simplistic, but getting your car properly tuned not only helps your
car operate more efficiently, but it gives your mechanic a good chance to see the rest of your
car and find upcoming problems. Make sure you tell him/her to give your car a complete
inspection. When pricing different mechanics for tune-ups, be sure to ask them what's
included in their service. A more complete tune-up will include changing out your spark plug
wires, an often overlooked task.
