What Fluids Should I Service Within My Car This Spring?

An oil change should be a priority this Spring. Fresh oil plays the vital role of lubricating your engine’s moving parts. Postpone an oil change for too long, and your car’s oil will eventually become contaminated and turn into sludge that wreaks havoc on your engine. Visit Livermore Lincoln for an oil change, and our technicians will have your model’s manufacturer-recommended oil on hand to make a change quickly and effectively.

Regularly scheduled Livermore Lincoln oil changes aren’t the only form of fluid maintenance that your engine needs to work efficiently. When your car’s radiator fluid is low, the engine can overheat and suffer damage. Avoid the possibility of low radiator fluid with a Spring inspection from our Service Center’s certified technicians.

Coolant, additionally known as antifreeze, is a fluid that keeps your engine cool in warm temperatures and warm in cold weather. Similar to motor oil, antifreeze becomes contaminated and loses its effectiveness over time, so testing your coolant at Livermore Lincoln this Spring is of the utmost importance.

Transmission fluid helps your vehicle’s gears run without a hitch. While you’ll most likely need a transmission fluid flush every 50,000 or 100,000 miles, visiting Livermore Lincoln for a Springtime transmission fluid inspection never hurts.

Are your car’s brakes performing at an ideal rate? If your answer is no, there may be a chance that your model’s brake fluid levels are low. Receive a brake fluid flush at Livermore Lincoln to boost your vehicle’s stopping capabilities and avoid hazardous roadway situations.

Drivers can occasionally overlook their car’s need for power steering fluid maintenance. Proper levels of power steering fluid within your vehicle help your steering system function seamlessly. If your steering wheel feels off, you may be due for a power steering fluid flush.

You can top off your Springtime fluid maintenance with assistance ensuring that your windshield wiper fluid is at a healthy level at our Service Center. Windshield wiper fluid replacement is generally the easiest form of fluid maintenance to complete yourself—but don’t hesitate to reach out to Livermore Lincoln’s Service Center for help refilling your wiper fluid.

How Can I Take Care of My Tires This Spring?

Tire condition is central to your driving safety. Unhealthy tires with low tread are more susceptible to punctures, sudden traction loss, and lower fuel economy rates. You can prolong your need for tire replacement by visiting Livermore Lincoln’s Service Center for a tire rotation, tire balancing, tire alignment, and tire replacement service this Spring.

So, what do these tire services accomplish?

Tire rotations reposition your tires to foster more even rates of tread wear. Visit Livermore Lincoln’s Service Center for tire alignment, and our certified technicians will register a properly balanced wheel and tire configuration by calculating any imbalances and installing necessary weights. A successful tire alignment service will tweak your tires’ angles to ensure they’re making proper contact with the road.

Have you been continually experiencing low tire pressure warnings despite your efforts to fill your tires with air? If so, your tires may contain a puncture that can be solved with a Livermore Lincoln Service Center tire patch or a complete tire replacement.

Gain Peace of Mind with a Livermore Ford Battery Test

Becoming stranded with a dead car battery is never fun—but this situation doesn’t have to happen. Visit Livermore Lincoln’s Service Center, and our factory-trained technicians will test your vehicle’s battery capacity and ability to hold a charge while cleaning the battery’s surface and terminals. If any irregularities occur during battery testing, our Service Center can complete a fresh battery installation that gets you back behind the wheel.

How’s Your Vehicle’s Emergency Kit Looking?

Does your car have an emergency kit on hand? Perhaps your vehicle contains an emergency kit, but some of the supplies have expired. In either instance, it’s essential that your vehicle includes a fully stocked emergency kit with fresh supplies.
