Regular maintenance improves vehicle performance, reduces repair costs, and allows you to enjoy all the benefits of your INFINITI for longer. The different seasons require maintenance to prevent problems caused by weather and temperature changes. As your INFINITI dealer, we want to tell you some INFINITI maintenance to prepare your vehicle for each season.
From Your INFINITI Dealer: INFINITI Maintenance for Each Season
Spring
Spring is mild with some rain, making it the perfect time to get your wiper blades checked and replaced if necessary. The blades are made from tough but flexible rubber to quickly and easily remove water, mud, or snow. Over time, the rubber becomes less flexible and cracks, and pieces can even break off. Damaged blades can’t clear the windshield sufficiently and can even scratch the glass.
Tire checks are also advisable, as their internal pressure changes as the external temperature increases or decreases. Incorrectly pressurized tires suffer increased damage, making driving dangerous and decreasing tire life.
Summer
During a hot Missouri summer, you need your AC to cool you down. An AC service enables our technicians to thoroughly check your AC to ensure it’s in good condition for the heat ahead. Blown fuses, a worn compressor, and wiring damage are all issues that happen to an unserviced AC, but our technicians will ensure your AC pumps out the cold air you need.
Fluid checks are important, particularly for the coolant. Your engine works most efficiently at high temperatures, but these temperatures can cause engine damage. The coolant absorbs the heat and transports it to the radiator for removal. Ensuring all vehicle fluids are at their correct levels helps your INFINITI to shrug off our hot, muggy summer days.
Fall
Extreme heat and cold affect your battery differently, but both will damage it, reducing its lifespan. A battery test will determine if your battery is still in good condition. Our computerized battery tester can identify any weakness, enabling your battery to be replaced, if necessary, so it’s ready for winter.
This is also a good season to check the headlights. Longer and darker winter nights make your headlights even more important to light the way ahead. Headlight bulbs gradually wear out and need replacement. We can also check the bulbs for your brake lights and turn signals so they’re working correctly.
Winter
Our winters aren’t as cold as many other states, but we get snow and freezing rain. An oil check is important, as the oil helps prevent rust and break down potential engine blockages. It provides essential lubrication to allow engine components to work efficiently. Oil becomes thicker as the temperature drops, making starting your engine more difficult. Replacing old oil will allow your engine to start more easily.
