Zappone CJDR’s Fall Maintenance Checklist: 

Replace Your Oil/Oil Filter

  • Oil is your engine’s life-blood – which means it’s very important to have clean, healthy oil in your vehicle at all times. If not, it will lead to issues down the road from accumulated contaminants that cause friction inside the engine. So, schedule your oil change and let our team give your vehicle the green light for this upcoming fall season!

Check Your Tires Pressure/Tread

  • While we recommend checking your tires monthly, most people forget. And that’s alright – we’re here to help! While seasons change, our road conditions will change as well which makes it important to ensure that your tires are properly inflated and have proper tread. Also, don’t forget to check your spare tire as well.

Examine Your Belts/Hoses

  • We encourage you to inspect the hoses and belts in your engine bay. This is important to ensure that there are no cracks, bulges, or breaks in your hoses because this can lead to issues down the road like an overheating vehicle. Also, your timing belt is crucial to the operation of your engine. If your belt shows excessive wear, cracking, or material loss, it’s time to replace it.
