• Indulge in a bubble bath. Dust, debris, salt and sludge can accumulate on the outside of your vehicle, especially during the winter months. And like its interior, your car's exterior requires regular maintenance, too. Take your car through a thorough car wash to protect the paint and keep it looking shiny and clean.
• When only quality will do. At the pump, be sure to fill up with a quality fuel like Amoco® Fuels at BP. All grades of Amoco Fuels-regular, mid-grade and premium-have been rated #1 in quality for 16 years, according to consumers in an annual nationwide survey. Check your owner's manual to determine the best octane for your car. If your car requires premium or 93 octane, try Amoco Ultimate® fuel at BP. With continuous use, it can clean up a dirty engine and you can begin to enjoy better starts, smoother acceleration and maybe even improved fuel economy.
• Drinks are on me. To ensure a smoother ride, check the level of all your car's fluids weekly and replenish when needed. Checking the fluids takes no more than five minutes and makes a world of difference. Remember to check wiper washer fluids, transmission fluid and engine oil.
• Have you lost weight? Your tires may have lost a few pounds of air during the winter months due to the colder temperatures. Remember to inspect tread depth and sidewalls for hairline cracks or any signs of deterioration. Be sure to replace your tires when the tread wears down to 2/32 (or 1/16) of an inch.
• Relax with a "car-apy" session. Keep your car in its best shape by taking it in for regular maintenance with a trusted mechanic. Look for an ASE-certified technician-they are trained to make sure your car is running safely.
• Spring for a shopping spree. Give your vehicle a little TLC with some fun car accessories. Fill your shopping cart with an air freshener, new seat covers or floor mats, to name a few, for that added touch.
