Without properly maintained oil, short-term and long-term engine problems are inevitable. Keep your vehicle on Mesa roads as long as possible by checking your oil often and changing it if necessary. Thanks to our experts at Cactus Jack's Auto, we’ve put together a simple guide below covering how to check car oil yourself.
Changing your oil is a necessity to make sure you can feel confident in vehicle on any Mesa road. Historically, experts have recommended an oil change after 3,000 miles as a good baseline for any vehicle, but is no longer the case.
If your car is leaking water, it’s usually not serious. The car’s air conditioning system creates condensation whenever it’s activated. It’s normal to see small puddles of water near the back of the engine compartment. In addition, water near the tailpipe is usually exhaust condensation, and that will go away after your muffler warms up.
