Taking care of your car keeps you and your family safe. The Robotics & Automation website shares these tips for good car maintenance:

• Maintain your tire pressure. Keeping your tires properly inflated can lengthen their life and save you money on gas. Pressure can vary with mileage and temperature, so check it every time you fill up your tank. 

• Check your oil. Oil is essential to your vehicle’s performance, keeping all the parts running smoothly. Make sure your motor has been off for five minutes or so, to allow the oil to settle. Top it off if it’s low, and check with your mechanic to make sure you don’t have a leak.

• Test all lights. Make sure your headlights and taillights are working so you can see on the road, and others can see you!
