Oil change:How often should I get my oil changed
Do you need some tips on how ofter you should get the oil of your car changed? Here it the rule of thumb for keeping your car well maintained.
It is important to change your oil every 3000 miles, if you really want to keep all the parts in your car happy and coated with fresh oil free of metal partials. If this is the then 2500 miles will do the trick.
The filter will catch most of the partials in the 3000 miles range after that you risk damage to your engine and its components. Also have the rest of your fluids, wipers and tires checked at this time.
Look at inspection sticker expire date maybe time while your oils getting changed. This save time another day when the sticker is up.

How To Prevent An Over-Heating Car, Buy A Used Radiator From The Salvage Yard
Summer time can be a very stressful time for car engine cooling systems not to mention the stress on the owner of a over-heating car. We have all been there before, driving along enjoying the summer heat in traffic at the foot of any NYC bridge.
Then suddenly the temperature gauge soars into the read zone.
Be Prepared Don't Let This Happen To You
This is most likely the point where you remember you have no antifreeze in the trunk or even a bottle for water either. FYI water can only be used temporarily to get you to a nearby service station to get antifreeze or get car repaired. If you need to get it home you will need a tow truck if you only have water and no antifreeze.
To prevent this from happening to you
- Make sure your radiator is working and in good running condition with no antifreeze leaking from any point of the radiator.
- Monitor your temperature gauge daily to avoid pushing the car in the heat knowing there is a problem.
- Check all your radiator hoses to see if the are dry rotted, cut, sliced or leaking in anyway.
- Always carry extra radiator hoses and clamps along with the proper tools to make the repairs on the spot.
- Make sure you always have plenty of Radiator fluids also known as Antifreeze so when you change hose you have it to replace it.

How-To Test A Battery Or A Alternator To See What The Problem Is
Most people have no idea how the charging system of a car works and they really don’t have to know. What you should know however is how to test to see what the problem may be.
Here is how the test goes if you how the charging system of a car works and you left the lights on is one thing. On the other hand if you did not leave lights on and come out to a dead battery then you need to get a jumper box or cables and get a boost.
Once the car is running disconnect the positive cable from the battery, this cable should most of the time be red in color and be a wider then the negative cable. When you remove the positive cable and the car runs for more then two minutes, that means that the battery is the problem for sure.
The reason for that is the car only needs the battery to start the engine in motion, then the alternator will take over recharge the battery and supply the car for the rest of the time it is running. If you take the positive cable off and the car cuts right off the the alternator needs to be replace. You can get brand new or used batteries and alternators at your local auto salvage yard or give Vinny at New York City Auto Salvage a call at 718-297-9797
