Vehicle tuning

To maintain proper vehicle operation and maximize performance it is very important to tune up the vehicle.
Now that the heat and summer begin, we use the car more and make long journeys and trips. For our safety we have to check that the condition of our vehicle is optimal.

Next, we explain how to set up our vehicle:

Oil is essential to lubricate all engine parts and thus reduce wear, ensure good vehicle maintenance, prevent breakdowns and keep the engine clean.

In the event that the oil is in poor condition, it can affect the normal operation of the vehicle and cause wear of the internal parts of the engine that end up causing a breakdown. Therefore, it is important to check the oil level and change it.

The cooling system is key to preventing engine overheating. For this reason, before making a trip it is important that a professional check the level and condition of the coolant, the condition of the radiator and the condition of the hoses.

To maintain safe and efficient driving, you should always check that the tires are in good condition. It is the only element that has contact with the ground, so it is necessary to check that these are not worn, since otherwise they do not have enough grip, and they verified that they have the correct pressure since it causes an increase in consumption and wear of the engine.

Another important set-up is to maintain the correct vehicle temperature. Especially in summer, it is essential to avoid fatigue and provide passenger safety. On the other hand, the correct operation of the ventilation pipes and the air compressor must be checked.

We could say that checking the lights is the most important set-up when embarking on a trip, as it is key to passenger safety. Most of the information we perceive comes through sight, that is, visibility is everything when driving. We have to make sure that all the lights work perfectly, especially if we travel at night.

Cars contain different filters that need maintenance in order to provide profitability in the car. The engine air filter is perhaps the most important when performing a tune-up because they are like the lungs of the car and it is essential for the proper functioning of the engine. On the other hand, you have to examine the oil filter, if it is dirty or worn it can cause a breakdown in the engine.
