Whilst we may not get the sub-zero temperatures that winter weather brings to some parts of Australia.
We do have some tips to help you get your car started on those chilly mornings.
What I need to know about engine oils
Wow writing a blog on engine oils, there is so much to know about this particular topic.
So let me start with the best advice I can give you, if in doubt in any way talk to your local Future Auto Service Centre about what is the correct engine oil for your vehicle and why they recommend it.
They have a wealth of resources available to them and will happily ensure the correct oil is used in your vehicle.
Todays vehicles are becoming more complicated and specific oils are recommended by the manufacturer for the best use in these vehicles.
In the past a mechanic may have stocked 2-3 different types of oils that covered the majority of situations, modern service centres have to stock a multitude of different oils to ensure vehicles are operating with the correct oil in the engine.
“The wrong oil will lead to the destruction of the engine and an expensive replacement cost”
Steering Blog
Steering in cars today have evolved substantially from the days where we all drove cars with manual steering.
They were heavy to drive and difficult to manoeuvre, particularly at low speeds or when the vehicle was stationary.
The main component we use is the same, the steering wheel, yes the design has altered over the years but its function remains the same.
It connects to the remainder of the steering system and eventually to the wheels of the car, we turn the wheel to the left and the car turns to the left, turn it to the right, the car turns to the right and at the centre position we drive straight ahead.
Many other components of the steering and suspension system ensure the vehicle behaves the way we expect it to when the steering wheel is turned.
Exhaust Systems
Automotive exhaust systems are an extremely important safety part of your vehicle and also play a vital role in the performance, fuel economy and operating systems governed by many emission control regulations.
The components that make up an exhaust system vary considerably between manufacturers and country requirements.
Its main purpose is to reduce both the emission and noise pollution created by the normal workings of the engine of your vehicle.
Whilst some components are common to both petrol and diesel systems, others are not and diesel-powered vehicles often require a different approach regarding periodic maintenance and procedures required to keep the system operating.
