5 Ways to Keep Your High Mileage Car Running Smoothly

by | Feb 24, 2022

 Think you have a high mileage car? You might want to rethink your definition of ‘high mileage’ once you know that the current Guinness Book of World Records holder has 3.25 MILLION miles! While that is impressive, that doesn’t make your high mileage car with 100,000+ miles on it any less amazing.

 

The big question, though, is how exactly do you maintain a high mileage car? How are you able to continue to put more miles on it? The answer is really quite simple … preventative maintenance and a little extra TLC!

 

5 Essential Maintenance Items For a High Mileage Car

 

The truth is … any vehicle can benefit from routine maintenance and treating it like you want to keep it around forever. But, it’s easy to get busy with life and simply forget to schedule maintenance until you actually have a problem. We can certainly help you with maintenance reminders and newer vehicles even come with their own systems for that. But, here are some things you should focus on to keep your high mileage car running smoothly.

 

  1. Oil changes – This one’s a no-brainer. Without enough good, quality oil, your vehicle simply won’t function properly. Oil change intervals vary by vehicle, however, so be sure to ask your mechanic which schedule to follow for yours.
  2. Vehicle fluids – In addition to oil, your vehicle uses other fluids to ensure a smooth ride and parts staying in working order. These include brake, transmission, and power steering fluid, just to name a few. Get these fluids checked regularly and topped off or changed as needed.
  3. Tires – The only way your high mileage car will continue to stay on the road is if you have good tires that keep it there. Tires that are properly inflated and with the right tread depth will work the best for driving safety and preventing an accident.
  4. Brakes – Your brakes can also keep you on the road and away from someone else’s car or another road hazard. We recommend brake service once a year to make sure everything is in working order.
  5. Filters and belts – Filters are meant to keep dirt and debris out of important parts such as the engine. And, belts keep moving parts running smoothly. If filters are dirty or clogged, or if belts are broken or deteriorating, it won’t be long before something breaks or malfunctions and you could be facing expensive repairs.
