Senior Driving and Automotive Tips

Not Putting Many Miles on Your Car? Car Maintenance is Still Very Important

There are many seniors that don’t put a lot of miles on their cars anymore, and ask how often they should change the oil in their car.  Some put less than 5,000 mile in a year.  If the vehicle is being used all year long, you need to schedule a service appointment to check and inspect critical components, battery, lights, belts and fluid levels at least twice per year.  In addition, inspecting tires and tire pressure is important for safe driving. The oil and filter should be changed every 5,000 miles or at least once a year. Maintaining your vehicle is the only way to lessen the chances of a breakdown or component failure.
