FUEL SAVING MAINTENANCE HABITS

By

Here are some more tips to help you get the best value for your expensive PMS. Every drop matters.

1. Always use the recommended oil for your engine. A much thicker oil increases the work your engine does. Check your owner's manual or oil cap and make considerations for age and use. Speak to us today, we'll help you.





2. Clean/Change your air filters. It is a 5-minute job. A clogged air filter can increase fuel consumption by up to 10%. Do you remember trying to breathe through a mask during COVID? Now imagine your mask was clogged. Not fun right? Your engine feels the same way.

3. Leave your thermostat alone. If it goes bad, replace it. Removing the thermostat makes the engine run cold. A cold engine will keep dumping fuel trying to get warm. That's how your ECU/brainbox is designed. Do not tamper with the fan connections as well.




4. Change your timing belts and serpentine belts. Worn out accessories can make your engine operate inefficiently e.g., the engine may run at a higher RPM to provide adequate power to the accessories (headlights, AC) if the serpentine belt is slipping.

Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended operating procedures and maintenance schedule in your owner's manual.

HOW TO PROPERLY TOW YOUR AWD/4WD VEHICLE SAFELY.

By
The assurance of extra traction on our wet and bad roads has made all-wheel drive (AWD) a popular option for many car buyers. Cars such as the Toyota RAV4, Toyota Highlander, Lexus RX350, Honda Pilot, Mercedes GL series are now in higher demand. However, the addition of all-wheel drive makes towing a vehicle complicated.  An AWD warning sticker What is AWD (All Wheel Drive) and 4WD (Four Wheel Drive)? Both terms are commonly used interchangeably as they have similarities. There're some differences, however. 4WD systems are generally optimized for off-road use . Part-time 4WD systems allow the driver to manually engage all four wheels at low speeds (crawl mode). Full-time 4WD systems work similarly to AWD, allowing drivers to keep all four wheels engaged. Most 4WD systems use front and rear differentials, plus a transfer case for engaging the front and/or rear axles e.g., the Toyota Hilux with the low jack mode. AWD systems are optimized for on-road use. AWD systems typically use

COVID-19: Cleaning Your Car

By
If the coronavirus outbreak has you cleaning up against bacteria and viruses, your car can prove a real challenge. It has lots of nooks and crannies, all crammed into a closed space shared by multiple people. A car interior The owner's manual for my car disallows almost every cleaning solution other than a damp cloth. The typical car owner's manual will rule out most strong cleaners you might reach for to kill germs and viruses. Let's see our other options. Sprays and liquids The active ingredient in many spray cleaners is sodium hypochlorite, which is household bleach. A spray cleaner probably has around 2% concentration of bleach, compared to a bottle of common household bleach with a 6% concentration, but it's still there. Bleach is a great disinfectant, but one that seems too harsh, especially over time and repeated uses. On places like rear cargo mats, door scuff plates and other tough trim pieces, it is an option.

WHAT MAKES UP YOUR ENGINE OIL?

By
Automotive engine oil is the result of a complex mix and certain compromises. Base oils (70–85%) Mineral oils: Historical workhorse made through distillation and hydroprocessing. Modern mineral oils are often chemically modified. Poly-α-olefins: Synthetic base stocks that offer a good balance of viscosity properties and volatility, as well as greater thermal and oxidative stability over mineral oils. Esters: Used in small amounts to make additives more soluble. Fluidity modifiers (5–20%) Viscosity modifiers: Polymers that stabilize the viscosity of oil as the temperature changes. They coil at low temperatures, increasing flow, and uncoil at higher temperatures, decreasing flow. Pour-point depressants: Molecules that prevent wax formation at low temperatures. Performance additives (8–15%) Antioxidants: Often aminic and phenolic compounds that prevent base-oil oxidation, the primary cause of oil degradation. Anti-wear additives: Compounds, commonly zinc dithiophosphate, that adhere to m
