The lifespan of a car battery varies based on usage and driving conditions. On average, they can last from 3 to 5 years. It’s advisable to have regular inspections to detect signs of weakening.

 It’s recommended to change your car’s oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or as indicated in the owner’s manual. It’s also important to watch for the oil change indicator light on the dashboard and perform changes as needed.

Brakes should be regularly checked. If you hear squealing, feel vibrations when braking, or notice the pedal is softer than usual, you may need to replace the brake pads or the brake system. It’s recommended to have an inspection every 12,000 miles or as indicated in the owner’s manual.

If your car overheats, pull over immediately to a safe location and turn off the engine. Let the engine cool down before opening the hood. Check the coolant level and add if necessary. If the issue persists, it’s advisable to seek assistance from a professional mechanic to prevent serious damage to the engine.
