As the cooler temperatures start to creep in, your diesel engine is not a fan and can experience significant wear during the winter months. Before the weather continues to cool off or get any worse than it may be already, there are a few diesel engine maintenance tips to keep in mind to protect your engine through the seasonal weather.

Preparing Your Vehicle for Fall and Winter

By Naylor's Auto Repair on Tue, 10/13/2020 - 13:16

The changing of seasons from winter to spring or summer to fall is a great time to get your vehicle all of the routine maintenance that it needs. This can include changing or topping off fluids, getting an oil change, having your tires inspected, and more.  

The colder weather can present challenges for your vehicle, so you'll want to make sure that it’s prepared with these car maintenance steps.

Check the Fluids

Your vehicle needs a variety of fluids to operate correctly. These include oil, coolant, and brake fluid.  The levels and quality of the fluid need to be checked occasionally as they can be depleted over time. 

Also, during use, contaminants can work their way into the fluid causing them to not be able to function in the way that they were meant to. This can leave the engine running hot or cause severe engine failure. 

Boise Wheel Alignment Services

When your vehicle is out of alignment, performance is significantly impacted. Misaligned vehicles need wheel alignment services so that they are safe to drive. Driving with misaligned tires can create several mechanical issues. Additional strain is put on the CV joints, axles, and the engine. As the engine is working harder, the vehicle will also have inadequate fuel efficiency. Wheel alignment services are an economical maintenance task that won’t take a lot of time. At Naylor’s Auto Repair, our team can quickly correct any alignment problems for you.
