Oil lubricates your engine&#8217;s moving parts and helps prevent wear and tear. But over time it can become contaminated with dirt and debris, causing it to break down and become less effective.<br \/>During the oil change service, the mechanic will drain the old oil, replace the oil filter, and refill the engine with fresh oil.

Check your car&#8217;s tire pressure regularly, at least once a month or before long trips, using a tire pressure gauge. You can also get it checked by a professional mechanic.<br \/>The recommended tire pressure for your car can be found in the owner&#8217;s manual or on a sticker on the driver&#8217;s side door jamb. If your tires are underinflated or overinflated, get the pressure adjusted accordingly for a safe and smooth drive.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Replacing_Air_Filters\"><\/span><b>Replacing Air Filters<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Your car has two air filters &#8211; the engine air filter and the cabin air filter.

It should be replaced every 15,000 to 20,000 miles.

It may cause your car to take longer to stop or make noise when braking.<br \/>The recommended time to replace brake pads can vary depending on your driving habits and the type of brake pads you use.
