Auto Maintenance Budget Poughkeepsie NY

Provided By:

(NC)-In today's economy, everyone is looking for ways to stretch their dollars. Spending money on auto maintenance is a fact of life for most Canadians, but here are a few quick money saving tips that will really make a difference in your annual budget:

• Use a premium oil filter. A Fram Extended Guard synthetic oil filter is a good choice. Regular oil changes are essential to keeping a vehicle running smoothly, but using a filter designed for longer drain intervals will help you go more kilometers between oil changes.

• Change your dirty, clogged air filter to help improve your fuel economy and save more money at the pump.

• Purchase a premixed 50/50 antifreeze coolant which is compatible with antifreeze/coolant in all vehicle makes and models, such as Prestone Premixed LongLife. This way, you can use it to top off all the cars in your household.

• Do not defer regular maintenance. Think of it this way, you can pay now for regular maintenance or potentially pay much more later for costly repairs or vehicle breakdowns.
