Flemington BMW’s Beginner's Guide to Changing Your Vehicle's Oil | Flemington, NJ

With the onset of winter, we might be more inclined to do a little bit of nesting - as in, make our spaces as cozy as possible for our long winter’s nap. Unfortunately, we’re not bears, and this usually manifests in a LOT of clutter piling up in places like our homes and cars and us not wanting to clean it out until the spring… which is months away. Here are our tips to nipping that clutter monster in the bud by getting your car clean quickly! Supplies you will need: trash bags air freshener spray (like Febreze) upholstery cleaner (like Resolve) car cleaning wipes vacuum Q-tips First, get all the trash out of your car. Put it in a trash bag and throw it away. Take another trash bag and put all the stuff you want to keep but just not in your car into it and bring that into your house. Everything that you want to keep in your car can go into a third bag and be set aside for later. Vacuum everything out. Use the wand attachment for maximum crevice access and get EVERYTHING. Every nook and cranny. The spaces between seats, the floors, the vents, everything. If your vents are really gross then get them with a Q-tip dipped in cleaning solution and then vacuum them out again. Use some wipes to get all the dust off of your smooth surfaces. If you have stains in your upholstery, use the upholstery cleaner per the directions. Finally, spray some nice air freshener and get everything back into your car, but organized, and you’re all set. Impress your friends and family with your cleanliness! A Clean Engine Is The Next Step

Today’s blog is a crash course in checking your oil. Buckle up and dive in! (And then after, make sure you go and check your oil!) Open the hood. Prop it so it stays open. Locate the oil dipstick next to the engine. It should have a yellow handle and/or be labeled. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it on a clean cloth or paper towel. Dip the stick all the way back in. Pull it out again and look at the oil level. If it’s in the middle of the hatched/indicated area, you’re good. More is better, less is okay, but if you’re lower than the area you need to get your oil topped up and have your system checked for leaks. Look at the oil quality and color. If there are a lot of particles or if the oil looks sludgy, you need to get it changed as soon as possible. Put the dipstick back in. Close your hood. Congratulate yourself on a job well done. Change Your Oil For Less
