People like to drive their own car but every owner should know that it is essential to take care of their car for it to last longer. You should consider the fact that you have to maintain its reliability, keep its drivability and keep intact its resale value.

Here below are some ways in how you should care for your car;

• Washing - Just like your house and yourself, your car need to be washed and cleaned to maintain its perfection. Bird droppings and snow can ruin your cars finishing so it is a must that you clean your car regularly. It doesn't have to be everyday nor every other day. You can wash your car every week or have them washed. You can just wipe it clean with a piece of cloth every other day.

• Oil Change - Every car need regular oil change to ensure a long life for your engine. At least, have it changed every 3 months. If the car is just brand new you can change it every 6 months.

• Tune Up - You need to replace the spark plug, air filter, fuel filter and emission control filters on a regular basis. When the spark plugs are replaced the technician should check the ignition wires, the cap and rotor if your car has them.

• Waxing - Regular waxing can maintain your cars good look and shine. You can wax your car twice a year.

• Check Under the Hood - Checking under the hood will often show you the problems of your car and it will be much better to know it before hand before they become costly to repair.

• Balance and Alignment - This protects your wheels. These adjustments are done to maintain the maximum life of your tire and a vehicle that tracks truly straight when driving along a level and straight road.

• Tire Rotation - It is very important to rotate your tires every so often because the front tires wear out much faster than the rear.

• Winterizing - This is done in places that have snow or experiences snow fall. The cold weather causes corrosion inside the cooling system and the best way to prevent corrosion is to flush the cooling system periodically and replace the antifreeze.

• Timing Belt - These belts are used by car makers as an alternative of the more durable chains due to the fact that these chains are noisier and more expensive to produce. Your vehicle owner's manual will advise at what mileage the timing belt must be changed.

• Filters - There are different filters that you need to change in your car. The air filter is the easiest to replace and this filters the air going into an engine. The fuel filter is another one, which is found either near the gas tank or in the engine compartment. A mechanic should change this. Cabin Filters are found on some of the old car versions, usually located under the dash. This filter cleans the air before it goes inside the passenger compartment.

Ford, Chrysler Running Slow as Small Cars Speed Up

Auto analysts’ predictions are coming to life. Indeed, small cars are in for a good catch. This fact made automakers dependent on huge vehicles suffer more. As small cars speed turnaround incidence, huge vehicles run slow. This is why the Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group are left far behind in regard auto sales and profitability.

The plight is obvious in Detroit - Ford and Chrysler are running slow because hot-selling fuel-efficient small cars from BMW are increasing acceleration to yield sales target. Ford and Chrysler posted sales decline and overwhelming losses. The damage was graver than that suffered by General Motors Corp., which had a startling sales gain. Nevertheless, GM said it will not slash its vehicle production in North America by 5 percent in the second quarter. Ford, on the other hand, will cut auto output by 14 percent in the same period.

Compared to the previous year’s levels, sales in the United States market were flat. Canadians drove off dealers' lots in 97,248 new cars and trucks last month. In February last year, Canada recorded 97,594 sales.

Small cars sales soar in January this year. The increase was attributed to the increase in gas prices. In Toronto, some stations ran out of gas. Circumstances have been good to Nissan Canada Inc. because that helped propelled Versa subcompact to yield the best performance of the month among the powerful rivals. The subcompact got a 31 percent sales gain. The automaker sold 1,101 Versa models in February thus the average sales of about 1,000 cars monthly.

The Nissan Versa went on sale in the United States and Canada in July last year. The car is powered by a 1.8 L I4 MR Series engine producing 122 horsepower and 127 ft•lbf of torque. The Versa offers three transmissions that include the 4-speed automatic, a continuously variable transmission, and a 6-speed manual. The transmission is complemented by Nissan brake pads, rotors, suspension, brakes and radiator for optimum efficiency. Versa is the only car in its class to offer a six-speed manual transmission as an option.

The 2008 version of Versa may integrate an SE or SE-R version with the 1.8 liter engine to produce more power. Also, upgraded suspension and ultra-low sulfur diesel engines may be entertained by Nissan. The automaker may also add the 3D navigation system as an option. The MSRP ranges from US$12,000 to $15,500. The Versa competes with the Yaris from Toyota Canada Inc. The car helped drag Toyota to a remarkable February performance.

‘The market is working just fine and consumers are embracing smaller, fuel-efficient vehicles in a very big way,’ said DesRosiers, the president of DesRosiers Automotive Consultants Inc. ‘Why not just let the market continue to work?’ he asked. ‘Many of those driving larger vehicles are doing it because they have no choice. Tell a soccer mom to buy a new Toyota Yaris instead of a new Toyota Sienna minivan and they will tell you to take a hike,’ he noted.

Richard Cooper, the executive director of the Canadian operations of consulting firm J.D. Power and Associates, said, ‘Hybrid vehicles that combine electric motors with a traditional internal combustion engine are getting a lot of hype, but that is overblown. When it comes down to it, we buy small, fuel-efficient vehicles anyway.’ Cooper noted, ‘Ford, I think, is really suffering from the lack of a small, fuel-efficient vehicle, especially in this market.’

Ford Freestyle rear rotor?

Does anyone know how to get the rear rotor off of a 2005 ford freestyle? We went to change the pads and found that the rotor is ate up on the back side of just 1 of the rear rotors, but we cant get the thing off. There is some type of a bolt / screw towards the middle of the rotor that looks like it would need a star bit to get it off but all of the ones we have used havent worked. PLEASE HELP

STOP!
Call your local Ford dealer with your 17 digit vin number and ask if you have an open recall on the brakes.There is a recall,may replace front and rear brakes,and rotors if necessary!
