to do unobstructed visibility is critical to safe driving helping ensure your vehicle's windshield is clear of precipitation and road grime is washer
fluid unfortunately it couldn't be simpler to keep the reservoir filled with plenty of
this refreshing looking but poisonous liquid just pop the hood and look for a cap
like this they're usually blue for easy spotting then just pop it off and top
her up but fluid is only half the equation occasionally you're gonna need a fresh
set of windshield wipers which is of course point number nine on this list
luckily it's also an easy task to swap them as they essentially clip into place to release a blade there's often a small button that you push other times they slide into a hook on the end of the arm in either case the blade shouldn't be overly difficult to swap out so give it a try next time there's smearing rather than wiping that sounds like a toilet joke moving on another mission-critical vehicle component is engine oil and it's super easy to check provided you don't own an electric car since they lack
crankcases full of lubricant or a modern bmw which of course don't have dipsticks
keeping an eye on the oil is a snap just make sure the vehicle's sitting on a relatively level surface and if you just parked it wait a few minutes as the oil may not have completely drained back into the pan which could result in a false reading with all that out of the way simply pull the dipstick out wipe it off with a rag or piece of paper towel and stick it back into the tube from whence it came then pull her out again and read the level if the oil shows between the low and full marks you're good to go now this is a case where more is not better having an overabundance of oil in an engine can be just as bad as not enough in fact it can lead to aeration and many other issues so basically keep it between the marks and you should be all set but if the engine is low on lube every driver should also be able to top off the crankcase just locate the filler cap which should look something like this then pour a bit of oil down in there make sure it's the correct viscosity no no no not that wait a minute or so and check the dipstick again to avoid overfilling add small amounts until the correct level is achieved car engines typically take between four and five quarts though this does vary a ram 3500 hd truck with the common straight six diesel requires three gallons of dinosaur juice just make sure to check the owner's manual
for specific details but taking this a step further you could also change the oil and filter which usually isn't that difficult if you can do this sir or madam you have just
earned major do-it-yourself bonus points next let's talk about the only part o your vehicle that should ever touch the road yes that would be the tires point number six all motorists should be able to check their tire pressure
