Keep your vinyl roof

Don’t forget the engine
compartment, Wipe any ex-
cess dirt or oil off the engine
and accessories. If there is’a
lot of oil, have the engine
checked and replace any
leaking gaskets. ;

Change the coolant at
least every two years or
30,000 miles. Replace it with
a 50/50 mix of antifreeze
and water. This is cheap in-
surance against ccorrasion
and overheating this sum-
mer. ,

Check the engine V-belts
for. wear and cracks. If the
car or the belts are over four
years old, replace all the
belts. After four years’, use,
a belt is likely to fail at any
time.

Inspect the radiator for
leaks or seepage. Check the
cooling system clamps and
hoses. Replace any hoses
that are leaking, have
cracks, or are soft and
mushy when you squeeze
them.

All it takes is a little time
and energy to keep your car
