The Eagle Summit is a subcompact car that is very economical. It may be small but it is very reliable. It is designed to be low maintenance, so you don't have to be afraid of maintaining it properly as it isn't a daunting task. If you know the basics of proper car maintenance, it gives you all the more reason not to stress about how to take care of your Eagle Summit. To get you started, here are a few basic tips in taking care of your car.

The engine plays a very big role on your car, but don't worry because properly maintaining it is very simple. You can start by checking the motor oil in it if it is still clean and at the right level. If the engine oil level is low, it might not be able to lubricate all the engine parts. Allowing your engine to run with very little oil can spell damage to your engine, as you are putting your engine at risk of overheating.

Speaking of overheating engine, your engine is equipped with a cooling system to prevent just that. The cooling system is designed to keep the engine at the normal operating temperature. The coolant helps the cooling system in keeping the engine cool so it is also important to keep it at the right level.Also, remember to flush it annually and replace it with new coolant mixture.If you leave the coolant for a long time, it might get acidic and cause the metal components of the cooling system to corrode. You also need to inspect the cooling system for leaks as you don't want to run of coolant while you are driving.

Because of the function of the tires, they are bound to wear out rather quickly, compared to the other parts of your vehicle. However, if you know how to practice proper tire care, your tires can last long. All four tires should be checked regularly. In checking the tires, always check the air pressure in the tires too. Under-inflated tires can cause premature wear and also lessen fuel mileage. Another thing is don't forget to check if the grooves on the tires are still deep enough to provide traction on the road. You should also rotate the tires so they'll wear out evenly. Wheel balancing and alignment is important so that your tires will be able to provide longer years of service as well.

Your car battery stores the electrical energy that your car needs to power up its electrical components. Normally, batteries are made to last for up to five years but that still depends on the driving conditions and where you are driving. On hotter areas, batteries last shorter than five years. For preventive maintenance, it is recommended that you change the battery once every four years. The battery also needs to be charged at least once a year. And to ensure a smooth flow of electric power from the battery to the various electrical components, make sure that the battery ports and terminals ends are clean and free from rust.
