Autumn has arrived in St. Louis, and that means it's time to start thinking about fall maintenance for your MINI vehicle. Regular maintenance is essential to keep your MINI running smoothly and avoid costly repairs down the road.
Check Your Fluids
One of the most important fall maintenance tasks is checking your vehicle's fluid levels, including motor oil, coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid. If any fluids are low, top them off or have them changed according to your MINI's maintenance schedule. This will help ensure optimal performance and protection as the weather gets colder.
Inspect Your Tires
Safe driving in fall and winter weather starts with your tires. Inspect the tread depth and check that your tires are properly inflated to the pressure listed in your owner's manual. Good tread and proper inflation provide better traction on wet or snowy roads. If your tires are worn, it may be time for a new set before winter hits.
Test Your Battery
Car batteries can fail with little warning, and the last thing you want is to be stranded with a dead battery on a frigid fall morning. If your MINI's battery is more than three years old, it's a good idea to have it tested to see how much life it has left. If it's nearing the end of its lifespan, replace it with a new battery from MINI of St. Louis's parts department.
