If you want to maximize the life and performance of your Volvo, Culver City Volvo Cars has a list of essential items we suggest using. All of the items are important enough that you should take action anytime to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly, regardless of the season. Make sure you follow the service intervals recommended by Volvo but feel free to use these as a guide for enhancing those recommendations.
Fluid Levels
Take the time to check your fluid levels to ensure they're at the maximum level. That includes oil, brake, windshield washer, coolant, and transmission fluids. We suggest once a month, but you should always check those levels before going on an extended road-trip with your Volvo.
Air Filter
Did you know the air filter impacts your fuel economy? With gas prices being what they are, inspect your air filter often to make sure it's not clogged with dirt and debris. And make sure it's replaced when necessary. Refer to your owner's manual for the location and other pertinent information.
Tire Pressure
Tire air pressure greatly impacts your driving comfort. But if there's too much or too little air pressure, it's also a safety hazard. Thus, maintaining a proper amount of air pressure is paramount. We suggest checking it while refueling. It's a convenient time and only takes a few seconds for each tire. And don't forget to have timely tire rotations to ensure even treadwear.
Exterior Lights
For most drivers, the moment they discover that one of their headlights or taillights is inoperable is when there's a citation issued. Don't let that happen to you. Take a moment each month to make sure the lights are working properly. We suggest always having spare bulbs readily available. They can typically get replaced in minutes, even for those who may not be mechanically savvy.
