Why Spring Maintenance Matters

Texas spring is an exciting time, but it can also be unpredictable. One moment, it's sunny, and the next, there's a downpour. With changing temperatures and surprise rain, your car can take a beating. That's why ensuring that your wiper blades are sharp, your tires have proper tread, and your lights are shining bright is crucial. By conducting a spring car care routine, you can be ready for whatever Mother Nature throws your way.

Don't settle for ordinary oil. Treat your engine to top-shelf formulas such as AMSOIL Extended-Life 5W-30 100% Synthetic Motor Oil. AED Marketing Inc. in Pasadena has it ready for you! Call them at (281) 507-8721 to secure your order or shop online at AMSOIL's website.

Spring Car Maintenance Checklist

Oil and Filter Tune-Up

Ensure your engine has fresh oil for the warmer days before doing anything else. Choose a 5W-30 viscosity for optimal Texas spring performance. Grab a new filter, roll up your sleeves, and follow these simple steps:

• Drain the old oil
• Replace the filter
• Pour in the new, and check the level.

Boom, clean engine! Remember to check your owner's manual for specific instructions and intervals for your car.

Tires and Pressure Patrol

Proper tire care is the key to a smooth and safe spring. As temperatures rise, so does your tire pressure. So, check their inflation regularly and adjust them to the recommended PSI on your door jamb. Don't forget to check the tread depth – if the groove dips below a dime, it's time for new tires.

Wiper Blade Renewal

Texas skies can switch from clear blue to stormy grey in a heartbeat. Be prepared with sharp, streak-free wiper blades. Opt for heavy-duty blades for those unexpected spring showers. Replacing them is a breeze: lift the latch, detach the old blades, snap on the new ones, and voilà! Don't wait for streaky vision to tell you they're worn – replace them at the first sign of skipping or chattering.

Fluids for a Flawless Flow

Coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid keep your car's heart pumping. Pop open the hood and check each fluid level, topping off with the manufacturer-recommended type if needed. Remember that temperature changes can affect fluid levels, so a quick check-in keeps your car hydrated and happy.

Your engine deserves the best! Ditch conventional formulas and unleash the power of AMSOIL's superior synthetic oil. Call AED Marketing Inc. in Pasadena at (281) 507-8721 to find the best products or stock up at the AMSOIL e-store.

Battery Check

Texas heat can zap your battery's energy fast. So, grab a voltmeter and check its voltage before spring arrives – 12.4 volts or higher is your green flag. In addition, clean the terminals with a wire brush, tighten the connections, and top off the distilled water if needed.

Air Filter Freedom

Spring's pollen invasion is not just a risk for your nose – it's a nightmare for clogged air filters. Pop open the hood, locate the air filter box, and take a peek. If it's dusty or discolored, replace it with a fresh one. For better results, choose a high-performance filter for extra breathing room. Remember, clean air equals a happy engine, so swap it out every 12,000 miles or every spring.

Brake System Savvy

The brakes are the gatekeepers of your safety, so give them a good once-over. Regularly check your brake pads, rotors, and fluid to ensure they're up to the task. Listen keenly for any unusual squeaks or grinds, and inspect for signs of uneven wear. Don't hesitate to bring in a professional to lend their expertise if something feels amiss. Your safety is non-negotiable, and a well-maintained brake system ensures you can stop on a dime when it matters most.

Wash Away the Winter Blues

Give your car a spring makeover with a good wash and wax. Rinse away the winter grime with a gentle car wash soap, then apply a coat of protective wax to shield it from the harsh Texas sun. Don't forget to tackle the undercarriage, especially if you frequent salty coastal roads. Remember, a clean and protected car not only looks fantastic but it also retains its value.

Light Up the Night

Lastly, avoid being stuck in the dark due to a burnt-out headlight. Take a moment to inspect all your outside lights – headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals. If you spot any dim or flickering bulbs, replace them immediately. Having clear and adequate lighting is crucial to ensure you're visible and secure.
