After
buying that new car, you'll drive
it around like it's your full-time
job. That 5,000-mile mark will
arrive quicker than you think.
Don't ignore your new baby; make
sure she's running as smooth as
that baby's... uh, as smooth as
its new wax job.
Steps:
1. Perform a tune-up.
2. Check the oil.
3. Replace spark plugs and wires
as necessary.
4. Check coolant levels.
5. Inspect the belts.
6. Check the brake fluid.
7. Check tires for wear. Rotate
as necessary.
Tips:
If anything seems wrong at this
early stage - a large drop in
fuel efficiency, unusual use of
oil or a tendency to overheat
- bring the car back to the dealer
for inspection. Your warranty
should cover such problems.
