Get Higher Gas Mileage by Maintaining Your Car

Now every 3,000-Miles or Three Months which ever comes first take your car in to get it serviced: Go ahead and change your engine oil and have them do a complete check of all of your fluids plus your tire pressure to make sure that the other fluids are good and that the tire pressure is set prefect also just in case you have a nail or a problem then they will find it out at the mechanic shop, or if you work on your car yourself to make sure to do a complete check list on it.

Now oil and transmission Fluid are one of the main things for the car and the most expensive parts to be changed. So it is a good idea to make sure you keep your car maintained so that you will not have any problems in the future and to prevent expensive repairs when your car reaches a higher mileage.

Every Six Months: I would defiantly check my windshield wipers, since it is rubber the sun and smog will ware the rubber and it will not work properly. Or if you decide not to change it during the summer time defiantly change it when winter comes around because it will rain a lot and you don’t want to get stuck somewhere also you want to be safe and not get in an accident for something that will not cost you a lot. I do recommend that you change the wiper with the original ones from the dealer because they work the best, they last the longest, and they won’t make any noise or fall apart after so many months. The reason I say not to get aftermarket is because they will change the original wiper and put aftermarket on and then you will use it and later find out that it is not working that good.

You can also find really good articles and info on 104Inc or you can also go to 104Automotive.com or 10mechanic.com and more at 104Inc.com you can find anything you need in your daily life.

Now overall there are 3 factory services that should be done at certain mileage.

First one is a Minor Service done every 7,500 miles: This service is basically an oil change, rotate tires, ck all fluids, and ck the tire pressure. Usually the dealers or certain mechanic shops will also steam clean the engine so that it stays clean.

Second is an Intermediate Service done every 15,000 miles: this service has everything that the Minor Service has plus on certain models you would change the transmission fluid + Valve Cover Gaskets.

Third is a Major Service done every 30,000 miles. This has everything that the Intermediate Service has plus depending on the make and model of your car things will be different. But in general you would change the Distributor Cap & Rotor + Spark Plugs + Air Filter + Fuel Filter + Coolant Flush + Brake Fluid Flush.

Now basically this is a good overall procedure of what you would have to do to keep your car in tip top shape so that it runs at its best performance and you get the best gas mileage on the car. But the main thing is that the car will be reliable and won’t leave you stranded in the middle of no where.

Though the used or the rebuilt auto or diesel engines give you a great chance of saving on your money but it are highly important that you know whom to get it from.

Buy the one which is not only original but is well certified and also is very good at price.

You should not only go along with one single person or the single quote given by the rebuilt engine provider but then ask for a few more form at least a few. The reason for this is that only this will help you to know whether what is the actual amount that you will be spending when you wish to buy these rebuilt engines for your vehicle.

Flood Insurance, What to do Before, During and after Flood

"It's hard to imagine that something so good for us can wreak so much havoc. But
water, in the form of floods, has caused extensive, and expensive, damage across
the country.

Insurers used to believe that you needed flood insurance
only if you were in a flood zone. But flood zones have been expanded in recent
years, and many homeowners who were not in traditional flood zones now live in
them. " What to do before during after flood

How to Travel on a Budget

How to Travel on a Budget:

"Travel costs, if you don’t plan them out carefully, can quickly pile up. I’ve gotten into the habit of traveling only if my company pays for it — or if I have a friend at my destination so that I don’t have to pay for lodging. I also obsessively build up frequent flier miles and use them when I can.

But there are many more ways to travel on a budget. Because taking vacations is essential for your mental well-being, I want to help you figure out how to do it without getting yourself into debt. And being in debt, I know from experience, is certainly not good for your mental well-being..." How to Travel on a Budget

Tornado Safety Tips

Tornado Safety Tips

1. In a house with a basement, avoid windows get in the basement under some type of sturdy protection.
2. In a home without a basement go to the lowest floor and find a small room in the center of the house with no windows.
3. In an office building go directly to an enclosed windowless area .
4. Vehicles are extremely dangerous park the car as quickly and safely as possible -- out of the traffic lanes. [It is safer to get the car out of mud later if necessary than to cause a crash.] Get out and seek shelter in a sturdy building. If in the open country, run to low ground away from any cars (which may roll over on you). Lie flat and face-down, protecting the back of your head with your arms. Avoid seeking shelter under bridges, which can create deadly traffic hazards while offering little protection against flying debris
5. In the open outdoors: If possible, seek shelter in a sturdy building. If not, lie flat and face-down on low ground, protecting the back of your head with your arms. Get as far away from trees and cars as you can; they may be blown onto you in a tornado.

6. In a shopping mall or large store: Do not panic. Watch for others. Move as quickly as possible to an interior bathroom, storage room or other small enclosed area, away from windows.

7. In a church or theater: Do not panic. If possible, move quickly but orderly to an interior bathroom or hallway, away from windows. Crouch face-down and protect your head with your arms. If there is no time to do that, get under the seats or pews, protecting your head with your arms or hands.

Spray painting your Car

Spray painting refers to a painting technique in which a device is used to spray a coating of paint, ink, varnish, etc. through the air onto a particular surface. The most common types of spray painting techniques make use of compressed gas, generally air, to atomize and direct the paint particles. Spray guns are either automated or hand-held and are equipped with interchangeable heads that enable different spray patterns. Spray guns are mostly used for spraying cars. Various spray painting techniques are employed to paint the surface of a car and almost all of them use compressed air or air pressure to discharge and direct the spray.

In case, your car needs to be painted but you don't wish to spend the money on a professional paint job, you can easily paint it yourself! Here are a few tips that might be useful for you:

* Before beginning to paint, sand or grind out all rust spots. Always use a filler for areas that are heavily rusted.

* Use a masking tape to distinguish those areas that you don't want to paint. Sometimes, you will have to remove certain pieces of the car so as to paint evenly.

* A lot of time and money will be wasted on paint if you don't prime your car with a high-quality metal primer. The surfaces that are to be painted must be first covered with a primer.

* Paint using a high-quality enamel such as Rust-Oleum to protect your car and to enhance the durability of your paint job. To attain good results, you can also attach a spray can and air compressor or buy a snap-and-spray aerosol can holder from any store for a reasonable amount. These spray can holders help in producing an even flow and you don't have to hold the spray nozzle for a long period of time.

* Maintain a distance of 8 to 15 inches from the car while spray painting it in order to prevent paint runs. Apply the paint in an area that does not have dirt or dust as these particles can get into the paint before it dries.
