• All cars come with instructions from the
manufacturer regarding the oil recommendations.
Make sure that you’ve filled your oil in accordance
with the guidelines for your vehicle.
• Keeping your oil replaced inline with manufactures
recommendations is key to ensuring your vehicle

- 4. TYRE TREADS AND PRESSURE
• Your tyres are the link between your car and the
road, so you’ve got to be sure that they’re in the
best possible condition.
• Each tyre has a recommended PSI level (usually
printed in your vehicle manual) and it’s
important to ensure that your tyres are inflated
to that guide line.
• Tyre treads should be in good condition and not
completely worn down ‐ you need them to
ensure good traction in poor conditions. A
minimum of 3mm is recommended.

- 9. CABIN AIR FILTER
• If you’ve got an air filter in place in your vehicle, it’s a
good idea to replace it before the cold winter days as
this will assist with improving the quality of air flow
and ventilation through the vehicle cabin.
• If you are unsure of the condition . Have it checked
by your local garage.
