* Keep your vehicle refreshed.Change the engine oil. Use therecommended grade of motor oilfor your vehicle, and change itaccording to your vehicle ownersmanual, which usually says everythree months or 3,000 miles.Prolonged driving without an oilchange may cause severe enginedamage. Regularly check your vehicles uid levels, includingtransmission, power steering,windshield washer and coolant.

* Keep in constant contact.Maintain your tires. Check inationpressure monthly, and make sure

your tires are properly balanced.Dont forget to rotate your tiresaccording to the maintenanceschedule and have the alignmentchecked at least once a year.

* Be considerate. Use gooddriving habits. Acceleratingquickly and stopping abruptly canprematurely wear your vehiclesengine, transmission, tires andbrakes. Aggressive driving alsowastes gas.
