Change the oil

You should always be sure that the oil in your used car is clean and that you have plenty of oil to keep the engine running smoothly.

It's important that the tires on your used car are properly balanced and inflated. If you have unbalanced or low tires, your used car can suffer several different problems. One common problem is that you may not have the best possible fuel efficiency when your tires are too flat. You may also run the risk of cracking your axel if your tires are out of alignment.
