​If one tire loses air slowly, yet faster than the others, it may mean too much pressure is put on it. In this case, it would be a good idea to go to a technician for an inspection. Losing small amounts of pressure is normal, about 1-3 but this can serve you as a warning sign. If you check your tire pressure and one tire is at a lower pressure than the other three, it could be having too much weight on it. This is another problem cause by vehicle weight not being distributed evenly. However, it is important to make sure that pressure loss is not due to a leak or a puncture.

Most gas stations either have a dedicated pressure gauge or a pressure gauge attached to the handle of the air compressor. If you can’t find the gas station’s pressure gauge, ask the clerk behind the counter of the store to find out where it’s located. You will typically find it alongside the air compressor and vacuum.

Checking for oil is very easy, straightforward and quite important for the health of your car. Oil stops your engine from overheating and many other dangerous malfunctions. Just locate your oil dipstick, read the oil levels and act accordingly (refill or just let it be). You can buy oil next time you get your fuel refilled or visit a car part store.

​If you’re often running low on oil, take a look under your car and see if you notice any leaks. If you do see black spots on the pavement, make sure to bring your car to a mechanic shop like LMN Auto & Tire for a checkup.
