Fall is a time for weekend drives to the cider mill, tailgating trips to cheer your alma mater to victory or a simple country color tour to see the changing autumn leaves. However, before you hop in the car to begin any of these adventures you need to make sure your vehicle is ready for the open road.
Here's a list of the top five items we recommend everyone should check or have performed before hitting the road for a fall trip:
1. Check car tires (check tread and pressure to help improve gas mileage)
2. Replace windshield wiper blades (summer heat can make the blades brittle and ineffective in rainy weather)
3. Fill washer fluid (it doesn't hurt to keep an extra gallon of washer fluid in the trunk as winter weather starts creeping in)
4. Check engine coolant level (make sure the engine is cold before checking this one)
5. Check oil level and change if needed (use your exclusive GM Oil Life System to check your remaining oil life)
