A great way to start the season is by spring cleaning your vehicle to help it feel clean and fresh. Keep reading this post by Mooresville Synthetic Oil in Mooresville, NC, for more information. 

Clean Out Your Vehicle

One of the main reasons cars accumulate so much trash, and miscellaneous stuff is that people spend so much time commuting and doing errands in them. That’s why it’s essential to take the time a few times a week to take out the trash and any other items that might have made their way into your car. Things like dirty clothes, old papers, wrappers, and even shoes are some of the most common things that end up in the trunk or the back seat of your car. Also, spring cleaning is a great excuse to take out heavy objects like tools from your car as these can cause it to have poor performance. A lighter car can help you save up on fuel and cause less strain on your engine in the long run.

Keep your car in the best condition by using top-shelf products like AMSOIL's Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil, which is manufactured to keep your vehicle running smoothly for longer. Call Mooresville Synthetic Oil at (336) 247-0212, or visit their website to place an order today.

Take It in for Maintenance

Next is to make sure everything is working correctly by taking it to your trusted mechanic for a bit of maintenance. Taking it to your mechanic can help you fix any issues your car might have developed during winter or catch anything that could turn into a problem during the spring. Having a regular maintenance routine can help your vehicle perform better for longer and avoid expensive repairs. Here are the main points you should ask your mechanic to check on your car:

• Engine oil and other fluids: It’s essential to ensure that your engine has enough fluids and that these are clean for your vehicle to function correctly. Other than engine oil, your mechanic should also check that the steering wheel fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid are all topped off.
• Air filter: While checking your engine oil, it’s also essential to make sure that the engine air filter is clean to do its job correctly.
• Tires: Next, ask them to do a tire check for any foreign objects, bulges, or cracks and ensure that the threads aren’t worn. Remember that tires usually last for 3 to 5 years, but taking care of them can help them reach the 5-year mark.
• Battery: Checking your battery is also essential in your car’s maintenance. Ask your mechanic to check if it's holding charge properly. Also, ask them to check if they see any bulges or corrosion that could signify that the battery isn’t working correctly.

Clean Your Car’s Interiors

Once you’ve cleaned your car of trash, you’ve taken out any unnecessary items, and you’ve taken it to your trusted mechanic for some well-deserved maintenance, it’s time to give your car’s interiors some attention too. Spring cleaning your vehicle should include wiping every surface inside your car, particularly those you touch regularly, like the steering wheel, your car’s console, and the dashboard.

Wash and Wax Your Car

Washing and waxing your car should be the last step in spring cleaning your vehicle. Regularly washing your vehicle isn’t just for the aesthetics, but to ensure dirt and grime don’t damage its paint and make their way into your car’s engine, impairing its functioning. If it’s been a while since you last washed and waxed your car, it might be worth hiring a detailing professional to clean it as well as possible. If you decide to wash it yourself, you’ll need a car sponge, a bucket, and clean microfiber cloths. It’s essential to make sure that everything you use is clean and free of dirt, as even microscopic dirt particles can damage your car’s paint when washing it. Also, make sure that you use car shampoo to protect the paint as laundry detergent or dish soap could damage it.
