*DISCLAIMER* – Servicing your vehicle can be hazardous, and improper handling may result in injury. I do not endorse attempting to service your car unless you are confident in your skills and have the proper tools. If you are unsure or inexperienced, it’s safer to consult a professional mechanic or take your vehicle to an auto repair shop. Proceed at your own risk.
At this point in time, if you’re reading this section, you most likely have a car, or you might share one or not even have a car. I’m not implying you need a car; you can literally just be reading for knowledge or the fun of it. But this section is going to discuss important things you need to know about when owning a car. For some individuals this may be common knowledge, for others not so much.
Here are some things you should know how to check on your vehicle/ be aware of:
- Check engine lights
- Oil levels
- Change oil
- Coolant
- Wiper fluid levels
- Windshield wipers
- Air filters (Engine and cabin air filters)
- Jump starting a car
- Car battery
- Brake pads
- Tires
These are some of that you can service on your own vehicle and or be able to identify so you can take it to get fixed. Now I’m going explain how to do each one.
Overall, being able to manage your own vehicle is important. Just know some things you can’t always fix on your own, unless you’re very knowledgeable about cars and can fix them yourself (Not endorsing this practice). If you’re unable to fix something or weary of something being wrong with your, just take it to a mechanic.
