Simple Answers About High Mileage Vehicles

April 22, 2015 by Denver Express Car Care

Simple Answers About High Mileage VehiclesQuestion:  What do I need to do for my high mileage vehicle?

Simple Answer:  Denver motorists ask this question at Express Car Care a lot more these days.  The median age for vehicles on Colorado expressways is now over 11 years.  Regardless of your reason for keeping your vehicle around, the good news for Denver auto owners is that it’s capable of going 150,000 to 200,000 miles or more with the proper care and professional automotive service at Express Car Care.

Here are some tips from Express Car Care on how to make your high mileage vehicle last:

  • First, Denver drivers should follow all of their regularly scheduled maintenance routines.  Things like oil changes, transmission and cooling systems service are critical for avoiding expensive damage.  This reduces your overall cost for keeping your vehicle for a long time.
  • Next, regular inspections are critical for Denver motorists.  Those parts are starting to get old and will become worn out over time.  Thorough inspections of various systems will uncover things that are nearing the end of their service life, like suspension, brake and steering components.  Replacing worn parts early not only prevents expensive breakdowns, but relieves stress on related costly components so they will last longer as well.
  • Another thing for Denver motorists to consider is the use of special high mileage fluid formulations.  For example, high mileage engine oil has special additives that condition those old seals and gaskets.  It also has extra detergents to help keep that older truck engine clean inside.  High mileage oil, transmission fluid, etc., costs a little more but can really head off some of the problems that are typical of older vehicles around Colorado.
  • One last thing for Denver drivers would be to consult with your Express Car Care service specialist about the overall condition of your vehicle and your driving routines.  It may be advisable to follow your vehicle manufacturer’s “severe service schedule”.

Even with the occasional unexpected repair associated with a high mileage  vehicle, you can still enjoy good, reliable transportation if you take good care of your ride.  Give us a call and let us know how we can help.
