Is it truly necessary to change your engine oil every 3,000 miles? Actually, it isn’t—your owner’s manual will tell you exactly when you should change your oil, sometimes 15,000 miles or more.
This video explains several oil myths that can be debunked by taking a look at your owner’s manual. Switching between synthetic and conventional oils is fine, as long as whatever oil you choose meets the requirements set in your manual. Scent and color doesn’t indicate when oil should be changed, either—oil analysis is the only way to tell how many miles you have left on your engine oil.

Changing the wheels on your vehicle can be a challenge. There are many fun and practical options, each requiring some important considerations. When choosing new or used wheels in Chicago, determine the size you are looking for, and how that will affect your tires. This guide will help explain how to find the perfect set of wheels for your car and lifestyle:
Wheel Diameter It is important to consider your wheel diameter when buying new wheels, especially if you do not plan on getting new tires as well. You can go wild when choosing the design for your new wheels, but a change in diameter will mean a change in tires, and potentially instrument recalibration.
Tire Diameter This refers to the overall diameter, from the ground to the top of the tire. If you plan to keep your instruments accurate and your speed unaffected, you will need to be sure that the overall tire diameter remains unchanged. This means getting a tire with a different aspect ratio if you change wheel size
Aspect Ratio A tire’s aspect ratio is measured as the relation between the height of the sidewall and the width of the tread. Something to keep in mind is that if you’re plus-sizing your wheels, adding low-profile tires can even increase the performance and cornering stability of your car. You may still want to have your speedometer and odometer recalibrated to ensure you receive accurate readings.

Auto parts can get very expensive, especially when you are seeking a new and OEM inventory. By choosing a great auto parts supplier, you can obtain quality parts for your shop and provide practical, affordable repair services for your customers. The problem with less reputable part suppliers is that you can run into issues regarding unreliable parts or parts that might be sourced illegally, which could land your shop in trouble. A reputable auto parts specialist can help both the individual consumer and the auto mechanic find what they need at a fair price. Here are some things to look for when you’re searching for a good auto parts supplier.
Responsibly Stocked Inventory There are literally millions of different types of auto parts, new and used, spanning decades of makes and models. When customers come to their favorite mechanic for repairs, they want to know that he can obtain quality parts for the vehicle in a reasonable timeframe. A good mechanic needs parts that can help his business meet this demand.
A shop that maintains a computerized database of both new and used parts will know exactly what they have in stock at any given time, making the repair process smoother thanks to on-time estimates.
Quality Used Parts Used car parts can be salvaged from late-model vehicles and recycled to save both money and the environment. An auto parts specialist that sources used parts from salvage vehicles will ensure that the parts are up to spec for safe use. Choosing used parts from a reputable supplier can help you keep down costs for your business and your customers.
