Cars as appliances guide from Motor Age editors

Motor Age editors say motorists treat cars as appliances and seek hassle free reliability. The 1987 88 Car Care Booklet from Chilton and the Car Care Council offers tips on shocks, suspension, finding good mechanics, and maintenance intervals. The guide notes oils and filters every 5000 miles for short trips and severe service, and radiator caps and thermostats should be replaced by 25,000 miles or two years.

Safety first: maintenance and driving habits save money

Reading the owner's manual outlines a maintenance schedule from oil and filter changes to tire care and warning lights. Regular checks of drive belts tire pressure and wheel alignment reduce wear. Safe driving avoids jackrabbit starts hard braking and sudden swerves, protecting tires shocks and brakes from costly damage and wear.

Battery boost depends on maintenance and conditions

A service expert explains pressing the start after leaving lights on or a battery drain hinges on charging circuit, ignition and fuel systems, battery and cables, plus outside temperature. After 15 minutes of driving a good charge may recover, but tuneups and cable condition affect reliability.
