A Long Island schoolteacher named Irving Gordon has kept his 1966 Volvo in such good shape, that it's driven more than 3 million miles. A lot of care goes into making a car last a long time, and here are a few things to expect as your car ages. These tips show how to keep your car in top shape, if not for millions of miles, then certainly for longer than average. First Service By about 15,000 miles, your new vehicle should be serviced for the first time. A good first service will include inspection of core parts like the brake systems, cooling systems, possibly fuel systems, and include an oil change, air filter replacement, and tire rotation. A first scheduled service shouldn't cost you much more than $200, but could help outline small quirks in your vehicle, which you can address easily and preemptively, before they cost you a lot more in the future. more Second Service At 30,000 miles, it's time for your second scheduled service. This one is a little more thorough, and should cost $500 at the most. It will cover all the parts previously inspected, and include a new fuel filter. Depending on the quality of your transmission fluid and spark plugs, those might get replaced by this point, but if they're high quality, you can wait until later. Third Service As your third 15,000-mile interval comes (45,000 miles), it's usually time to have the same treatment that was done at with your first service. Typically, the only difference is that if the transmission fluid wasn't changed before, it will definitely need it now. You could still wait on the spark plugs, if they're very well made. Fourth Service Just as the third service is about the same as the first, the fourth service, at 60,000 miles, is usually the same as the second, with some important replacements. The shop should replace all the belts, valves, and hoses that are showing age, and the spark plugs will need to be replaced. 100,000-Mile Service After the 15,000-mile cycle has taken you to about 100,000 miles, you'll need to take your vehicle in for the most important checkup of it's lifespan. However, don't be fooled into spending more money than your other services. While 100,000 miles is a big number, it does not pose a particular threat, because with most vehicles, there are few parts that wouldn't need attention sometime before 100,000 miles. Get a checkup, which is similar to the other services, and then maybe go on a trip to celebrate your healthy ride. Remember, every vehicle has its own manufacturer recommended schedule of maintenance, and this only a general outline that may not perfectly represent your vehicle. Read you owner's manual, online if you have to, and get a firm schedule planned for what to expect in the coming months and years. Photo by Capri23auto | Licensed under CC0
You might be wondering what's so important about spring cleaning your car? Well, it's not just a stubborn tradition. Here are the best ways to clean your car as the winter ends, and the reasons why. Pre-Winter and Post-Winter Waxing Road salt is a major risk to vehicles during and after the winter season. One good way to protect against the damaging minerals is by giving the paint job a fresh wax, at the start of winter starts and the beginning of spring. Other areas of your car can also suffer such as the wheels so remember to clean and protect them as well. more Washing Away Road Salt Residue The residual road salt on your car can wreak havoc on it's exterior, and even cause dangerous corrosion on the undercarriage. A thorough washing is all it takes to remove these minerals and protect your vehicle. In some extreme cases, drivers who left salt residue on their undercarriage ended up with holes in their floor. Don't shrug it off, because rinsing off the remaining salt that's dried onto your car will save you a lot of stress. Just going to a paid car wash is good enough, if you can get the undercarriage rinsed. However, if you wash it yourself, be sure to add a few tablespoons of baking soda to the wash bucket, which will neutralize the salt. The Perfect Wash and Rinse Residual salt is imperceptibly small, so you'll want to make sure that areas inside the wheels, around fenders, the trunk, hood, and movable parts such as door jambs are washed. If these areas are not thoroughly cleaned, you could very well see problems later. When you wash your car, be sure to use a quality soap; ideally, one that it intended for automobiles. In particular, avoid dish soaps. Some of these soaps can wear away the clear coat of your car. If you're still in the colder days of winter, there's a risk that the Photo by kaboompics | Licensed under cc0

Is your glove box a nest of loose receipts, expired documents, and old food wrappers? Whether you keep your glove box clean and tidy or not, it should have the things that can save you a lot of time and hassle. Put this convenient bit of storage space to use with these five items. Antibacterial Hand Wipes Your hands touch so many parts of your interior, it's only right to have something sanitary. Not only are hand wipes nice to use every so often, just as you're leaving or entering your car, but they're also great against drive-thru meals and other sticky situations. Both you and your passengers will appreciate it. If possible, try to get non-scented wipes, so your hands don't reek of lemon or herbs. A simple miniature trash container will make putting away used hand wipes a lot simpler, so look out for one of those as well. There are options that hook behind seats, on doors, or in almost any convenient area. more Standard Tire Pressure Gauge There's no excuse for not having a tire pressure gauge when you really need one, so why not keep one in your glove box? Going fancy is not recommended. A simple, pencil-style tire gauge, without batteries or digital screens, will do the job and determine your PSI just fine. On a related note, remember to check your tire inflation at least once a month. Staying on top of your pressure can improve your gas mileage and save you a lot of money over the course of the year.
