How to Care for Your Car While It's Not in Use allserviceoil.com/synthetic-oil/minneapolis/mn/how-to-care-for-your-car-while-it's-not-in-use Many people don't realize that not moving their car doesn't mean they can forget about it. In fact, things can start to go wrong fast. To care for your car while it's not in use, check out these tips. Car Care Tips for When You're Not Using Your Car If you're not using your car at the moment, you may forget about it altogether. This, however, may not be the best thing to do. While your car is sitting in the driveway, it'll still need to be taken care of. To make this easier for you, check out these useful tips from All Service Oil. Keep Your Car Moving One of the best things you can do when your car isn't in use is to turn it on. Even if you have nowhere to go, turning your car on and taking it for a short ride can keep your car in better shape for a number of reasons, including the following: Battery Care If your car is left in your driveway for weeks at a time, the next time you try to turn it on you may not be able to get it to start. Why would this happen if you haven't run out your car's battery? When the battery isn't being turned on, it can slowly lose its charge. When you turn on your car, this not only runs your battery but it can also get your battery charging. To avoid being surprised by a dead battery next time you need to use your car, turn it on at least once a week. You can let it idle for a few minutes or take it out for a short spin. 1/3

  2. Avoid Flat Tires While your car is sitting in your driveway, the tires will get no rest as they're still holding your car up. If your car doesn't move for a few weeks, the spot on your tires that is in contact with the ground can start to get flat. This may sound like the smallest of issues, but it can actually turn into a serious problem that may result in you needing new tires. The easiest way to prevent this is by moving your car every so often. This will relieve the pressure on this spot on your tires and get them moving. Don't forget to also check your tire pressure so that your tires are at their best. Get Your Fluids Moving Another benefit of moving your car weekly is that this also gets your car's fluids flowing. If they sit for a long period of time, they will settle and may even separate, making them lose their effectiveness. Some fluids should also be flowing because they keep parts of your car lubricated so that they don't dry out. Give your car a synthetic oil change in Minneapolis to keep your engine running well.

Clean out Your Car Having a clean car may not sound like a big deal if it's just going to be parked, but this is a must. If you have food wrappers and other things in your car, these can start to go bad, get moldy, and smell. On top of this, they can also attract rodents who will have no problem turning your car into their home. Not only will this be a pain to take care of later, but the rodents can also mess up parts of your car. They can eat the upholstery, mats, and even cables, which can all mean costly repairs. Find a Good Parking Spot Finally, be sure to find a good parking spot for your car. If it's not going anywhere for a while, you'll at least want to be sure the area where you leave it won't cause it any damage. Parking it in a garage or in a covered area is ideal because this will keep your car protected from the elements. If you have to park outdoors, be sure it's not under a tree or in an area where it will be damaged. You can also use a car cover so that it doesn't get scratched or scuffed.
