Checking the Oil and Everything Else Needed to Take Care of Your Car
Listen now
Description
Do you know how often you should rotate the tires on your car? What about when it comes to checking your oil? And do you know what it means when your “check engine” light appears? Not only does it feel grown-up to know how to maintain your car, but with winter coming (and winter IS coming), car maintenance is a very real necessity when it comes to keeping it running smoothly.   In this episode of “Grown-Up Stuff: How to Adult,” Matt and Molly are joined once again by CarTalk’s Jamie Page Deaton as they discuss the dos and dont’s of car maintenance. Learn how and how often you should wash your car in the winter, what type of gas your car actually needs, and the one thing about electric vehicle maintenance that dealerships don’t want you to know.    Sources Cited:  2021 US Census Data  U.S. Department of Transportation: Bureau of Transportation Statistics "Automobile Profile," “How Much Routine Car Mainten ance Costs” - Nerd Wallet “Can You Wash Your Car in Winter?” - AAA “Here’s How Much the Average Car Repair Costs Now” - Kelly Blue Book National Average Gas Prices - AAA See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
