Tips:- It is important to make sure your air filter is cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. If it gets dirty, it can affect your fuel economy.
- The slick look may be all right for your tires, but be certain to keep it away from your vehicle's brake, and gas and clutch pedals. Brush the pedals with a mild detergent solution, rinse, and dry them thoroughly before use.
- Engine oil can take up to five minutes to return to the oil pan after an engine is shut off. To ensure an accurate reading, always allow this time to pass before checking your oil.
