If you want your car to last, you need to take good care of it. In fact, according to experts, if you want to see your car reach 200,000 miles, keeping up with its maintenance needs is the best way to go about it. 

The good news is that you can do many of the easiest car maintenance tasks at home and save money. Here are some of the easiest car maintenance tips any car owner should know how to do without involving a mechanic.

  1. Learn to Replace your Windscreen Wipers

Replacing your car’s windscreen wipers is among the easiest car maintenance tasks. Changing your car’s windscreen wipers should take no more than 10 minutes. When it comes to car maintenance, that’s no time at all.

To change your car’s windscreen wipers, pull the wiper away from the windscreen and press the small tab on the underside, allowing you to slide the wiper off the wiper’s arm.

After that, lower the new wiper onto the wiper’s arm. Note that the hook’s open end should face the wiper’s plastic clip. Next, pull it tight. When doing so, you should hear the wiper click into place. Once that’s done, lower your windscreen wiper, and you’re ready.

  1. Learn to Change your Car’s Air Filter 

Changing your car’s windscreen wipers isn’t the only easy car maintenance task you should know how to do if you want your car to last for miles to come. Changing your car’s air filter is another car maintenance task that’s easy to learn and important to do regularly.

There are several reasons to change your car’s air filter regularly. These benefits include better gas mileage, reduced emissions, improved acceleration, increased engine life, and improved driveability.

Changing your car’s air filter is as easy as opening your hood and finding a black rectangular box with metal clips on the side. Once you’ve found that, open up the casing, remove the old air filter, and install a new one. Experts recommend changing your car’s air filter every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

  1. Checking your Car’s Tire Pressure 

Let’s say your tire pressure sensor goes off. What then? If you don’t know how to check your car’s tire pressure, that warning light might cause you to panic. The good news is that it doesn’t have to. Why? Because checking your car’s tire pressure is among the easiest car maintenance tasks.

If you don’t know how to check your car’s tire pressure, experts recommend getting a digital or standard tire pressure gauge. Then, after your car has been parked for three or more hours, use the tire pressure gauge to check your tire pressure. The numbers on the tire pressure gauge should match the manufacturer’s recommendation, which you can find on the driver’s side door or in your owner’s manual.

Conclusion

Replacing your car’s windshield wipers, changing its air filter, and checking your car’s tire pressure are among the easiest car maintenance tasks. However, if you want to keep your car on the road for 200,000 miles or more, these are not the only car maintenance tasks you should keep up with. If you want your car to last, you’ll also want to keep up on maintenance tasks like oil changes, tire rotations, spark plug replacements, and even timing belt replacements.
