Seasonal changes can be harsh on your engine, making an oil change one of the most critical steps in summer maintenance. Fresh oil keeps your engine well-lubricated, reduces wear, and improves fuel efficiency.
Why AMSOIL? AMSOIL synthetic motor oils offer exceptional protection against heat, cold, and wear. Their advanced formulation reduces friction, keeping your engine running efficiently on long road trips.
With rising temperatures, your cooling system must be in top shape to prevent overheating. Inspect your coolant levels and condition, topping off or replacing it if necessary.
Why AMSOIL? AMSOIL antifreeze and engine coolant provide excellent temperature regulation and long-lasting protection against corrosion and scale buildup.
A well-functioning transmission is essential for smooth gear shifts and overall vehicle performance. Check your transmission fluid level and quality, replacing it if it appears dark or smells burnt.
Why AMSOIL? AMSOIL synthetic transmission fluids resist oxidation and thermal breakdown, extending the life of your transmission.
Clean air filters improve engine performance and fuel efficiency, while cabin filters keep the air inside your car fresh, ensuring a comfortable ride.
Why AMSOIL? AMSOIL’s high-efficiency filters trap more contaminants and last longer than conventional options.
Proper tire maintenance ensures better fuel economy, safer handling, and a smoother ride. Inspect your tire pressure and adjust it according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. Also, check the tread depth for wear and replace tires if needed.
Pro Tip: Rotate your tires to promote even wear and extend lifespan.
Winter’s salt and moisture can lead to rust and corrosion on your vehicle’s undercarriage. Lubricate the chassis and suspension components to prevent squeaks, enhance ride comfort, and protect against wear.
Why AMSOIL? AMSOIL synthetic greases provide long-lasting protection against moisture and extreme temperatures.
Cold weather can weaken your car battery, making it essential to check its charge and overall condition in the spring. Clean any corrosion from the terminals and ensure secure connections.
Pro Tip: If your battery is over three years old, consider replacing it before embarking on long road trips.
Your safety depends on reliable brakes. Check brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels, and listen for any unusual noises when braking.
Why AMSOIL? AMSOIL brake fluids offer excellent heat resistance and maintain performance under heavy braking conditions.
Give your car a thorough wash to remove winter grime, apply a protective wax coating, and clean the interior to create a fresh and comfortable driving environment.
Pro Tip: Use AMSOIL Mudslinger® to repel dirt and grime on exterior surfaces, keeping your vehicle cleaner for longer.
