How To preserve Auto Corner Lights

Settling into the seat next to Little Frankie, who, by the way, had to have weighed in just under what that El Camino he was driving weighed, I introduced myself and begin to tell him where I needed to go. Little Frankie explained he knew just where I was and promptly asked me if I'd like the air conditioning turned on. I'm not sure why, but all I could say was, "I might be able to get by without it, but it sure would make my life a whole lot easier right now." To my surprise Little Frankie began rolling up his window, motioned to mine and reached across to turn on the switch that said a/c. Well, how about that. A 1972 El Camino with a perfectly good working air conditioner.
For the best results use a pump can of motor oil that you can pick up at an auto parts store near me. However, avoid using junkyards open near me which contains acids that will cause your car to rust.
Tighten all the screws and nuts before replacing any gaskets. Many times the disposal has been vibrating the screws loose and causes a leak. Replacement parts can be ordered from the old manual or by calling the service department. If you don't have your old manual then call the store where you bought the disposal, they should have a record of who to call. Many large home improvement stores have replacement parts available, so it's a good idea to check with them first.
Regularly clean the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor located in the inlet pipe near the airbox. A contaminated MAF sensor can cause faulty signals to the ECU resulting in overboosting. Suitable MAF cleaners are available from your local auto parts near me.
In terms of car performance and safety, make sure you check on the pressure of your tires regularly. This is an easy task to do especially if you purchase a tire gauge from any auto store near me you can check your tire pressure anytime you want. Always remember to stick with the tire pressure that your car or truck manufacturer recommends so you don't over or under inflate your tires. This is also a good time to inspect the tread on your tires and make sure they are not wearing improperly because if you notice that one of your front tires is starting to wear to much on one side it could be time for you to get your tires rotated and balanced or have an alignment done.
There is nothing like looking through a clean windshield. Use a good glass cleaner and soft cloth when washing the windows. Try this trick - clean the inside of the windows with a horizontal motion and a vertical motion on the outside of the window. This way if there is a streak you can quickly identify which side of the window it is on.
I used to get my car's oil changed at the same center every three months without fail. Each time I brought my car in, they would "offer" to fix something else that was wrong with the car. First, the left brake light was out; then I needed a new oil filter; after that it was the spark plugs. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't catch on until they told me I needed a new brake light (the same side) two times in a row. Sometimes, they are just being kind to point out something they have discovered during their work. However, don't just fall for this line; ask to see the problem on your car.
