Your vehicle’s exhaust is an integral part of the operating system. It stretches beyond just muffling sound before the fumes exit the car. In fact, it begins at the point where the manifold and engine cylinders connect. The fuel and air mixture are gathered into a single pipe to begin their journey out into the atmosphere.

The first stop is the oxygen sensor, where the air and fuel mixture is evaluated for proper emission levels before they’re sent on their way to the catalytic converter. 

Strong and reliable tires are essential for success and safety behind the wheel. There are no exceptions to this rule. If you want to feel confident any time you drive, you need to be able to identify tires that are due for replacement.

Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid. Your car uses it in order to slow down or stop when you push down on the brake pedal. The pedal pushes a piston, which pushes a caliper. This increases pressure, pushing the fluid against the brake rotors. The rotors bring the pads against the wheel, slowing your car.

Without brake fluid, your car could not stop. It is possible for a slow leak of the fluid to decrease the pressure, resulting in a loss of responsiveness. The fluid degrades over time, necessitating replacement about every two years.

Saving lives on the highway should concern us all and many government officials vigorously stress the importance of boosting our knowledge of safe driving practices by finding out what we can personally improve on.
