There\u2019s a segment of the Plainfield population that\u2019s not committed to proper\u00a0vehicle maintenance<\/a>. Mistaken perceptions have crept into the IL. area over time. Many Plainfield motorists think the root lies in the fact that modern cars are so reliable. Reliability has improved dramatically in recent years. Quality surveys report fewer problems with new cars than ever before.<\/p>\n

Back when cars spent more time in the repair shop, Plainfield drivers were more mindful of\u00a0routine service<\/strong>. Now, it\u2019s much easier to put it off.<\/p>\n

Take\u00a0tune-ups<\/a>\u00a0for example. In the days of mechanical ignition systems, an engine needed to be tuned-up every couple of years. The ignition points had to be replaced, spark plugs and coils replaced and the timing adjusted. If your engine was out of tune, you knew it. It ran poorly and got bad fuel economy.<\/p>\n

\"a93c7_MaintenanceFreeMyth_SusanneTimothy_Split_s\"<\/a>Now, the ignition system in your sedan is electronic and controlled by the engine management computer. Spark plugs rarely get fouled and will last for as much as a hundred thousand miles.\u00a0So tune-ups used to force you in to AACCEL EMISSIONS LUBE for service and while you were there you just took care of whatever else was on the list.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, in recent years, a large percentage of new cars in Plainfield have been leased. These folks plan on turning the car in after two or three years, so they haven\u2019t focused on the maintenance that helps your car last longer.<\/p>\n

Given all that, what\u2019s the benefit to keeping up with factory scheduled maintenance? Well, your sedan will perform better and return better fuel economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those benefits pay for themselves as they go along. The big plus is that\u00a0major repairs are prevented<\/strong>. And these aren\u2019t just repairs that are a long ways off. Modern sedan engines are far more sophisticated and have many parts that are in critical need of proper lubrication. Missing just one oil change can allow oil sludge to start forming. Sludge clogs small engine passages, robbing parts of the lubrication they need. An expensive failure could easily occur within two or three years.<\/p>\n

And modern engines require more\u00a0sophisticated fluids<\/strong>. Because of the different types of materials that are used to make auto parts, things like aluminum, plastics and steel, different types of additives are required to protect automotive components from corrosion. These additives deplete with time as well as with use.<\/p>\n

For example, your sedan engine coolant could actually become so corrosive that it eats holes in your radiator or other cooling system parts. Of course, that could lead to massive engine damage, all for the want of replacing the coolant on schedule.<\/p>\n

Taking care of the little things now prevents big problems later.\u00a0At AACCEL EMISSIONS LUBE, we have been taking care of all those little things for seven and a half years.<\/strong>\u00a0Your sedan still needs to be taken care of \u2013 it\u2019s just that some of those points of care have changed with automotive advancements. The need for proper maintenance in Plainfield did not go away.<\/p>\n
