Automatic Transmission Vehicle Maintenance and Tips (Part 2)

Automatic Transmission Vehicle Maintenance and Tips (Part 2) In the following article we are going to discuss how to take care of your automatic vehicle, so that you can make sure you get the most out of it for as long as possible, and that you do not need to pay extreme bills for repairs. Here are a few things you should and shouldn’t do when you own an automatic transmission vehicle.

Please, do not keep your fuel tank low, don’t do this to your vehicle. An automatic transmission car depends on fluid pressure to run as it should. Try to always keep the tank at least half full.

The Importance of Coolant

The Importance of Coolant I don’t know how many of you are aware, but coolant, or the other way it is known - antifreeze, has double functionality: it keeps the car from overheating, and it protects it from freezing in times of extremely cold weather. Based on this information you can probably make a solid conclusion as to why coolant is so important to your vehicle.

Nevertheless, let us make it clear what happens when your car is lacking coolant. As a car owner you probably know that when your engine is running, it generated heat, if your vehicle does not have coolant it can overheat and cause damage to the engine (which can be serious damage), and in turn this may lead to some costly repairs (and let us be honest here, no one likes unnecessary bills).
