What should I check on my car every morning

Most of the vehicles in Nigeria run on engines i.e internal combustion engines (I.C.E), I mean engines that use petrol/diesel and air to create energy for movement. To keep your vehicle running you have to do your own due diligence, in this post I would list some of the things you can do yourself and help you understand the overall effect on the well being of your car which will ultimately help you reduce overhaul repair cost as these are preventive measures to total failure of the major components of the car.

1.       Engine oil check – it is very very necessary to check your oil level every morning before you start the car, this is because engine oil is the blood your vehicle needs to survive, most vehicles have dipstick in the engine compartment while some use digital measurement on the dashboard to check oil level, whichever one you have make sure to check your vehicle manual or have an expert show you how to check. You don’t want to be out driving in a car that does not have oil.

2.    Ensure that coolant is available in your radiator, and if your vehicle is like most Nigerian vehicles and you use water, please be sure that the water in your radiator full every morning before you start the car. If you have a reservoir that is connected to the radiator, fill it to the specified level. Please check your manual or ask your mechanic for the location of your radiator today, I bet you don’t want to have an overheating issue on the high way.

3.       Brake fluid level should be checked also since your engine bay/bonnet is already opened. Ensure that the fluid is at the specified level. The beauty and fun of driving a car is when you can stop it at will using the brake pedal.
