National Car Care Month: Tips to Keep Your Car Running Smooth

NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  October is National Car Care Month and the perfect time to give your vehicle the attention it deserves. Recently, Automotive Expert and YouTube Star, EricTheCarGuy, partnered with Chevron Lubricants and D S Simon Media on a nationwide satellite media tour to share some simple, expert advice to help keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Even though October is National Car Care Month, it’s important to pay attention to your car’s performance all year long. Like any relationship, drivers should learn to listen to their car. Routine care, such as using a fuel additive like Chevron Techron once a season or performing regular oil changes, can help you avoid costly repairs and keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Here are some of EricTheCarGuy’s top car care tips:

  • Watch for Leaks: Pay attention to any leaks under your car. Fluids like transmission fluid (red), brake fluid (light brown) and engine oil (brown) can signal different issues. Eric recommends laying a white paper towel under the leak to identify the color and calling your mechanic for further advice.
  • Listen to Your Car: Strange noises can indicate trouble. Pay attention to when these noises occur and where you’re hearing them from, which can be a possible clue as to what’s at the root cause.
  • Stay on Top of Oil Changes: Regular oil changes are crucial to keeping your engine healthy. Whether you do it at home or visit a quick lube center like Havoline xpress lube, it’s important to use high-quality oil. Eric recommends Chevron Havoline Lifelong, a motor oil brand that’s been trusted for over 120 years. Plus, their Smart Change package offers 6 quarts instead of the typical 5, giving you more value.
  • Improve Fuel Economy: For smoother performance and to help maximize your mileage, Eric suggests using Chevron Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner once a season or every 3,000 miles. It’s an easy, low-cost way to deep clean and protect your fuel system, which maximizes fuel efficiency, helping you save more with every pour.
  • Winterize Your Vehicle: As temperatures drop, make sure your car is ready for winter. Check tire pressure, test your battery, and add Chevron Techron High Mileage Fuel System Cleaner if you plan to drive less or store your vehicle. This additive is perfect for stabilizing fuel for up to two years, making it ideal for cars that will be parked for long periods.
