So, you’ve just purchased your brand new 2020 Ford Fusion SE, what comes next? Maybe a celebratory joy ride or two, but what comes after that? The wide world of car ownership can be confusing, especially for those who are new to it. Fortunately for you, we’ve assembled this short guide to help you learn how to extend the life of your new vehicle.
Check Out That Manual
Your first job, after taking your well-deserved joy ride, is to read your vehicle’s manual. Your vehicle’s manual will not only let you know about the fine details of your vehicle’s inner workings, but it will also give you important maintenance information like how often to change the oil, flush the fluids, and more.
Don’t Ignore the Check Engine Light
Your vehicle’s check engine light is an important indicator of the health of the engine. While the problem that tripped the indicator could be minor, the light should never go ignored. Even something as minor as an oil change or fluid refill can have drastic long-term effects on the engine.
Regular Maintenance is Key
Just like how every person should be regularly seen by a doctor, your vehicle should be regularly inspected by your local service center. Regularly rotating your tires, changing your oil, checking fluid levels, and changing brake pads will do more to prevent engine wear than anything else. Preemptively identifying potential problems before they become a larger issue is not only cheaper but will be better for your vehicle in the long run.
So now that you know how to take care of it, perhaps it is time to take this process to the next step. It may be time for you to stop by Mac Haik Ford to take your future 2020 Ford Fusion SE out for a test drive!
