James is traveling for more than 300 kilometers originating from his hometown in Paterson and Passaic County. His car’s speedometer reached 100 km/hour when suddenly he heard a loud bang coming from the rear left side mirror. The sedan’s tire burst and was completely deflated. Surprised and annoyed, James was sure that he forgot to inflate the tire with air from a gasoline station. Situations that are similar to James’s experience leave anyone frustrated especially when they are in a hurry for a meeting, work, school or or any occasion, worse if the motorist encountered trouble in the middle of the road. In this kind of situation, it is crucial that car checking preparedness must be done before traveling. The mnemonic BOFFERT – Battery, Oil, Fuel, Filter, Engine, Radiator and Tire pressure is helpful in remembering the essential car components that should be checked before traveling. The following shows car and tire maintenance tips: • Check oil level by looking at dipstick level. The color indicates if the oil is new or old. A hazel nut and dark brown oil shows that it was used more than often; yellow or pink color oil means OK. Replace oil regularly once after 7,500 miles and never skip even single changing oil as this can cause serious engine trouble. Test engine to allow oil distribution throughout the engine. • Check tire pressure by using tire gauge. PSI (Pound per square Inch) pressure depends on the size of tire and the vehicle it is suitable for. Make sure it is properly inflated but not over inflated. Close tire cap tightly to prevent air leakage. A car running with under inflated or deflated tire can slow down car, gobble up more fuel and wear tire faster until its plies are exposed. • Research and find the best car maintenance and tire care services. There are wheel repair specialists in Vancouver. When encountering wheel trouble keep in mind that tires are not just a mass of rubberized donut, but are made up of complex parts of metal; rubber; ply cords and ball bearings require specialized maintenance upon receiving serious damage.

Be careful not to short circuit both polarities. On the other hand, some batteries have indicator that enables checking of battery condition, often by color. Furthermore, check electrolyte levels if it’s enough to encourage chemical reaction. • Observe brake fluid level to avoid faulty brakes. A non responding brake pedal is the result of low brake fluid level and may include braking problems and perhaps accidents. • Car air filter will accumulate grime and dust over time and usage. Air filters that are resistant to airflow indicate a warning signal. When left unchecked and replaced, an unclean air flowing towards carburetor mixed with fuel can cause engine trouble. The timing air filter change depends upon the car’s usage and location. A heavily urbanized city will of course give off more air pollution than a rural place where fresh air is common. • Fill and change radiator water regularly to prevent high engine temperature and serious engine trouble. Check engine coolant levels to ensure they are enough to cool engine down. • Wash car regularly, clean with a non abrasive car shampoo and glass cleaner. Remove dirt and mud accumulation inside the wheel rim, car underneath, windshield, rear and front. Afterwards, shine and buff with carnauba wax which is recommended as car polish. • Save more fuel by reducing unnecessary loads. For example, a car carrying more than 70 kg of rice will run on more fuel compared to driving with baskets full of clothes. Similarly, take short cuts instead of long routes to save more. • Replace worn out or busted spark plugs, wipers, headlights and rear lights for efficient car running.
