OIL CHANGES
Your Car-X Man is an oil change and lube expert. We have synthetic
oil available, to better protect your engine and enhance your car’s
performance, not to mention synthetic oil is resistant to heat and viscosity
breakdown.
It’s recommended that you change your oil every 3 months or
3,000 miles to help keep your car running at peak performance.
One of the most common mistakes you can make with your car is
to let things slide when it comes to something as simple as an oil change. Properly scheduled oil changes can help your
car last a long long time.
ANTIFREEZE
Antifreeze does not just keep your engine from freezing; it
keeps it from getting too hot as well.
So antifreeze is important all year round.
Cooling system failure is
the number one cause of engine-related breakdowns. That’s why it’s just as
important to check your antifreeze as it is to check your oil and brakes.
Your Car-X Man can inspect your
radiator to check for leaks and can also perform a complete flush and fill,
which we recommend every two years. Your engine produces enough heat to destroy itself. Don’t let it.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
Transmission fluid acts as a lubricant for all the moving
parts in your transmission. Automatic
transmission fluid also acts as a coolant and helps transmit power from the
engine to the transmission.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, or stick shift,
your manufacturer recommends changing the fluid every 30,000 to 60,000
miles. The service interval for an
automatic transmission is every 60,000-80,000 miles; although it’s not a bad
idea to have it checked more frequently.
That’s because if there’s a leak and your transmission fluid
levels drop, you may not know about it until it’s too late. Chances are you won’t hear any noise or get
any other identifiable clues.
BRAKE FLUID
Obviously, anything to do with your brakes is extremely
important to your safety. Maintaining
proper brake fluid levels in your master cylinder reservoir is no
exception. You should have your brake
fluid checked every time you have your oil changed.
Brake fluid delivers force to various parts of the brake
when you step on the pedal.
During a free brake inspection, your Car-X Man will check
your brake fluid levels as well as make sure your shoes or pads, drums, rotors,
wheel bearings, anti-lock brakes (abs) and emergency brake system are all in
good, safe working order.
It’s also recommended you have a hydraulic system flush
periodically. For your specific vehicle, always consult your own's manual for additional service information.
