What’s Inside My Owner’s Manual?

We know that owner’s manual doesn’t look like a great read, but trust us, it has some valuable information you need to know about your car. Luckily, we here at Star Buick GMC have read through plenty of owner’s manuals, and we know how important they can be to your car’s health and maintenance.

First of all, the owner’s manual tells you exactly how often you should schedule maintenance. This regular maintenance schedule is vital not only to keeping your car healthy, but also to making sure you don’t void your warranty. Never again will you google “how often to change my car’s oil” – it’s right there in your car’s glove compartment. The owner’s manual will not only tell you how often you should complete maintenance of certain items (oil, timing belts, filters, etc.), but it also has much more information. Inside, you can also find out what kind of gas you should be putting in your tank, as well as what kind of oil you should be using in the first place.

Also, there are some other great things in that manual that can make you a better car owner overall. The manual can teach you not only how to set up the car initially (especially that darn Bluetooth system, if you have one), but also how to check your car’s fluids and troubleshoot common problems.

If you’re like the majority of consumers, you also may not know the exact technical terms to describe your car and it’s parts. You’d be surprised how much information you don’t know when you’re in a bind, and the owner’s manual is the perfect place to go to learn more.

Still not convinced? If you’re absolutely not the owner’s-manual-reading type, give us a call. We’re always happy to answer any questions from our customers and neighbors in the greater Leesburg, VA area and beyond.
