Spring is here! It’s time to put thoughts of ice and snow behind us and look forward to warmer Pennsylvania weather. Use the following guide for tips to ensure your car is ready for the road this spring with routine Ford service from Blaise Alexander Ford of Mansfield.
Oil Change
Debris on winter roads finds its way into car engines, ultimately absorbing into the vehicle's oil. Therefore, it's essential to replace the oil in the springtime. This quick and easy maintenance step significantly enhances vehicle performance, and our team can get this service done for you in no time flat.
Refill Fluids
It's important to inspect all essential fluids after a long winter. That includes brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield wiper fluid. Also, replenish low levels and replace older fluid with new. Our team of Ford technicians will perform these tasks as part of our full-service oil change service.
Check Tire Pressure
Temperature changes affect tire pressure. This means tires may be overinflated once warmer weather starts. Driving on tires with excessive pressure accelerates wear and cuts their lifespan in half. Check the pressure and inflate your tires as needed.
Check Wiper Blades
Winter takes a toll on windshield wipers, leaving them worn or damaged. As we prepare for spring showers, it's crucial to replace them to ensure optimal visibility on the road. This is a task that can be easily done by patient DIYers.
Inspect Cooling System
The best time to test your cooling system is during cooler weather. Inspect for loose connections, leaks, or any signs of cracks in the cooling system. This is also a good time to replenish your coolant to ensure optimal performance as temperatures rise — and we advise you to get it done before the temperatures reach sweltering highs.
