Part 3 of Keeping your car in its best condition
by JOHN GAVINO
An Australian car goes through summer and winter and antifreeze-coolant agents are important for them all year round. Antifreeze-Coolant does not just keep your engine from freezing; it keeps it from getting too hot as well. So whether you are driving in the snow when on a skiing holiday, or in the hot Aussie bush, you must remember that cooling system failure is the number one cause of engine-related breakdowns. That��s why it is just as important to check your antifreeze-coolant as it is to check your oil and brakes.
Your mechanic should inspect your radiator to check for leaks, perform a complete flush and fill, and if this is done every two years, your engine will thank you. Remember that your engine produces enough heat to destroy itself. So don��t let it. There are many ways to stop your car through forgetfulness and negligence, but with sites available with help about all your vehicles requirements, you should be able to get assistance for any kind of hassle. Just log in to carsguide.news.com.au, and OzFreeOnline.com when you are looking for a reliable car specialist/mechanic, listings of services for automotive repairs and auto parts around Australia or a free car listing of all the countrie's available new or used cars for sale.
Transmission fluid acts as a lubricant for all the moving parts in your transmission. Automatic transmission fluid also acts as a coolant and helps transmit power from the engine to the transmission. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, or stick shift, your manufacturer may recommend changing the fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 kilometres. The service interval for an automatic transmission is every 60,000-80,000 kilometres and to feel guaranteed of a safe drive, it is wise to have it checked more frequently. If you just bought a second hand car from a used car dealer or a car auction, it is wise to get it checked-up by an expert immediately after acquiring it.
If there is a leak and your transmission fluid levels drop, you may not know about it until it��s too late, and chances are you won��t hear any noise or get any other identifiable clues. So be vigilant. Do not take chances when you are searching for a mechanic or top servicing centre.
