Oil Change
Oil is the lifeblood of any combustible engine. An oil change will be performed as necessary to ensure oil runs through the system and provide lubrication to prevent friction or grinding that can lead to overheating.
If the oil is really degraded, then the technician may perform a more comprehensive oil flush to remove contaminants.
Belt Check
A technician will evaluate the belts in the engine that deliver power to the various components. This includes the timing belt, serpentine belt, and V-belt.
The mechanic will check for looseness or excess slack, as well as for fraying. Any of the belts coming loose can cause major damage to the engine as a whole.
Spark Plug Check
The spark plug is typically located above or to the side of the engine head. This thumb-size part has the essential role of igniting the spark that burns fuel. It also has the secondary function of dissipating heat. Engine service includes a quality check of this part for wear.
Radiator Check
Radiators are the engine’s cooling mechanism. Therefore, all engine servicing must include a check of this vital component and its fan. Coolant is also topped-off as necessary. Radiator checks are especially important in late spring and summer.
