How often should I change my oil in Mississippi heat?

Every 5,000–7,500 miles for full synthetic is common, but heavy stop-and-go, short trips, or towing can justify 3,000–5,000-mile intervals. Watch your maintenance monitor and check level monthly.

Why is my car pulling to one side?

Likely alignment or tire pressure differences. Set pressures to spec and schedule an alignment to prevent shoulder wear and restore straight-line tracking.

What are signs my A/C needs service?

Warm air at idle, musty smell, or compressor cycling quickly. A proper A/C service checks refrigerant level, leaks, cabin filter, and condenser cleanliness.

How often should I rotate tires?

Every 5–6k miles. Rotation evens wear, reduces noise, and extends tread life. Combine with balance if you feel vibration.

FAQ

What oil should I use?

Follow the owner’s manual viscosity/spec. Full synthetic handles heat better and can extend intervals if your driving fits.

Why rotate tires?

Fronts wear differently from rears. Rotations keep tread even, reduce noise, and improve braking balance.

Do I need an alignment after new tires?

Highly recommended. Fresh rubber masks issues; proper toe/camber protects your new investment.
