Many Chevrolet drivers in Jacksonville don’t realize that keeping up with regular oil changes can actually help improve a vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Dirty oil in a car's engine creates friction between the moving parts. The more friction an engine must deal with, the more heat it will produce. This combination of friction and heat will lead to a decrease in the total number of miles per gallon each engine can go in between fill-ups.

Regular oil changes are also a great way to ensure the life of an engine for years to come. An engine that is maintained on a consistent basis will remain cleaner and a clean engine is less likely to seize up on its owner. Routine oil changes are a great combatant to engine buildup. New oil acts as a recycling agent and helps to remove deposits, while lubricating the engine in the same process.

The service technicians at Nimnicht Chevrolet in Jacksonville say that regular front end alignments, or wheel alignments as they are also called, can help extend the life of tires as well as keep a vehicle running safely. Nimnicht Chevrolet service technicians recommend that drivers come in for balancing and rotating of tires every 12,000 miles (approximately every four oil changes) to ensure even tire wear and extend tread life. Worn out tires can be a huge safety concern for drivers.

Tips to Extend the Life of Your Car

You’ve worked hard, saved diligently, and have now purchased your new car! To help ensure your purchase was money well spent, car care and maintenance are necessary to prolong the life of your vehicle. We’ve put together a few great tips to help you extend the life of your car.

· Run your car’s A/C in winter

Run the A/C a few times throughout the winter to prevent moving parts in the compressor from seizing. Circulating the refrigerant will also help keep the seals soft and pliant.

· Patience is key during the break-in period

Typically during the first 1,000 miles, or break-in period- of a new car, car manufactures suggest you keep speeds under 55 miles per hour.

· Don’t fill up your gas tank while the tanker is at the station

Come back another day or go to a different gas station if you see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks when you need a fill-up. As the tanks are being filled underground, sediment can be stirred up into the gas and can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance from your vehicle.

· Clean the inside of the car every time you clean the outside

Particles of dirt are abrasive and liquid spills, such as soda, can be corrosive. Vacuum and sponge interior surfaces clean every time the outside of your car gets a bath.

· Take excess weight off your keychain

The weight several objects on your keychain, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and may eventually lead to ignition switch failure. To help ensure your ignition switch works properly, shed some weight off your keychain.
