How to Know Your Car Needs Maintenance
One of the most important investments you can make is the purchase of a new vehicle. You rely on your car to get you to work, get the kids to school, and to get the whole family to that special vacation destination. Your car takes care of you, so you should take care of it. Here are some common car repairs and how to tell when your vehicle needs them.
Oil Change
Your car’s engine needs fresh, clean oil to function correctly. It’s essential to have your car’s oil changed according to the mileage listed in your owner’s manual. However, you may need to change the oil more frequently if you’re driving more often than usual, or it’s the middle of summer. Frequent driving and high temperatures can cause motor oil to deteriorate rapidly.
If your car’s oil change light comes on, this means the oil level is too low. You should check the dipstick once a month to prevent this from happening. A monthly dipstick check will also allow you to make sure the oil in your car is clean. If your engine is making a knocking noise, this is another indication that the engine is not adequately lubricated. If you can smell oil or notice exhaust smoke, your vehicle may have an oil leak. All of these issues should be addressed immediately to prevent even costlier damage.

4 Incredible Facts About the Ford Mustang

How the Mustang Was Named
The Mustang almost wasn’t the Mustang. The marketing and design teams at Ford batted around a few different names before deciding on the car’s now-famous moniker. These potential names included Panther, Torino, and Cougar. While the name Mustang was finally agreed upon, it’s still up for
debate as to whether the car is actually named after a horse.
Ford designer John Najjar wanted to name the car after the P-51 Mustang, a fighter plane used in World War II. When other team members rejected the idea, he dropped the P-51 from the name and suggested that it was in tribute to the breed of horse.
