Volvo Service In Lexington, KY

Many Volvo vehicles will need a synthetic oil change every six months or so. This Volvo service involves removing expired engine oil and replacing it with new oil that can more easily lubricate your system's moving parts, prevent overheating, and move sludge toward the filtering system. However, watch out for the following signs you need a Volvo oil change early:

• Your "check engine" or "oil change" light is on
• There are knocking sounds from the engine
• You notice exhaust smoke or burning smells
• Your car isn't performing as well as normal
• Your oil levels are too low
• The oil is dark, burned-looking, or gritty

If there is one thing that's important for you to do for your vehicle, routine oil changes are it.

Meanwhile, your tires will need several services regularly to help them combat the wear they receive from regular contact with the roads in Lexington, KY. Check your owner's manual for advice on how often to get:

• Tire rotations: Switching the position of your tires so that the front-left one might become your back-right one, for example
• Tire balancing: Adding small weights to the tires to make up for uneven weight distribution around the circumference of each
• Wheel alignment: Fixing your suspension system so that your tires are angled correctly against the road
• New tires: You tend to need these every 50,000 to 75,000 miles

You should also seek regular Volvo service for your brakes. Brake pads that are running too thin will cause:

• Your car to take more time to stop than normal
• Squealing or clicking noises when you press the brake pedal
• Car vibrations while braking
• The car to veer to one side or another when you're trying to brake straight
