Oil Level
In order to avoid any problem with your car, you need to keep a constant check on your car’ oil level with the help of a paper towel. Before checking the level of oil in the car, you need to drive the engine for atleast 10 minutes. After that, turn off your car and open the hood. You will find a dipstick which you need to clean and insert it back into the oil chamber. You can then loosen the dipstick and consistently check the oil inside the dipstick. There is a mark in the dipstick which is the minimum level of oil to be maintained in the chamber. A constant oil level has to be maintained and the oil level should not fall lower the minimum oil level.
Tire Inspection
Tires are an important element of cars. If there is any damage to any of the tires, the cars may stop working. Some of the common problems are wearing out, inflation or damaged. You can avoid such problems by regular check-up of the car and its tires. During the check-up, look at the pressure of the tires. If the over inflated, there are chances of the tire-bursting out and if the tires are under inflated, it would not provide the desired grip. During cold weathers, the pressure of the tires decreases abnormally. Also, check for the tears, rips, and depth of the threads in the tire. Without proper threading, the tire would not grip easily and might slide.
