Being in a better position to identify issues with the tires on your vehicle can reduce the likelihood of a tire failure on the roads.

The reason the tires have a recommended pressure range is to maximize safety. If your car tires are underinflated, it is more likely they will blowout. If your vehicle doesn't have air pressure indicators, use a tire gauge each week to closely monitor the pressure in each tire. 

When you get your oil changed at the service center, you may be asked whether you want regular or synthetic oil. It is important to understand the difference, so you can make an informed decision.

Even if you choose synthetic oil, there are different tiers of this oil to choose from, so having a clear understanding of the differences will help you to decide which oil is best for your car. Most synthetic oil is a blend of oil that comes out of the ground and chemicals that may enhance the performance of your vehicle.
