Driving a car isn’t a one and done deal– you need to keep the maintenance of your vehicle up through regular checkups at your local dealer. With knowledgeable experts ready to assist, a Porsche dealer is the best option to keep your car in ideal condition.
Premium Oil
In order to keep running smoothly, your car needs its oil checked on a regular basis. Luckily, you can tell if need an oil replacement at home by removing the dipstick to see where the oil level rests. If the oil is black, as opposed to the regular yellow or gold, you need to take your vehicle to your local dealership for an oil change, which also should be done as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer or your mechanic.
When you stop by your local Porsche dealer, you can be sure you’re getting only the best oil to keep your car going. All dealers at Porsche fill your car with the fully-synthetic Mobil 1 oil that guarantees less wear and tear on your vehicle, a lower fuel consumption that lessens the strain on your wallet and the environment, a longer engine life, and improved overall performance.
Proper Tire Inflation
One of the easiest ways to avoid an accident such as a tire-blow out that endangers you, your passengers, and the vehicles around you is by regularly checking your tire pressure. While there is a chance of an accident if this important step is skipped, you also run the risk of negatively impacting the fuel efficiency of your vehicle. Tire pressures change with the temperature, a fact you may have noticed if your TPMS, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, lit up.
Your Porsche dealer is more than happy to help check your tire pressure, ideally in the morning before too much driving, as driving causes the tires to heat up and may skew the reading. Ideal pressure varies from model to model, but a general rule of thumb, your tire pressure should be 39 PSI at the rear and 34 PSI at the front. Your Porsche dealer can also help you address the light on your dashboard, especially if the TPMS light persists.
Power Steering Fluid
Your car’s steering, which we would all agree is an important factor, is greatly improved when you have good quality power steering fluid. This is the hydraulic fluid used in power transfer that transmits power during the power steering. You can usually tell when you need to address the power steering fluid in a process that drains the old liquid and swaps in the new liquid when your car emits a whining noise when you turn the wheel, the car is leaking, or you check yourself.
When you stop by your Porsche service center, they offer power steering fluid checkups, maintenance, and replacement if necessary. Most experts recommend replacing the power steering fluid every two years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is an essential part of the maintenance of your car that can’t be neglected as a failure to maintain proper power steering fluid can corrode other parts of your car.
