Summer schedules can be hectic, especially when they are filled with road trips. This can put a lot of extra stress on your vehicle, whether your trip takes you near or far. We’re outlining the Mercedes-Benz maintenance you need to get your vehicle road-trip ready at Mercedes-Benz of Jacksonville.
Schedule an Oil Change
Fresh oil can do wonders for your vehicle. Engine oil is designed to be preventative, so an oil change can ensure your engine is well protected and can help prevent overheating and engine wear. With new oil, you’ll also have better performance and improved efficiency.
Check Your Fluid Levels
Your engine oil isn’t the only essential fluid in your vehicle. You also want to check your other fluids to make sure that they’re at least at the recommended minimum level. These fluids include your coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield wiper fluid.
Inspect Your Tires
You want to inspect your tires to ensure they have the recommended pressure and tread depth. Your tires should have a tread depth of at least 4/32 of an inch, which ensures you have adequate traction. If you haven’t recently, it’s a good idea to have your tires rotated as well.
Visit the Carwash
Giving your car a good cleaning is also beneficial. While your car can become dirty during your trip, it’s best to start with a clean slate. You also want to carefully clean your interior and remove any trash and clutter, as well as replace your cabin air filter.
