While some people live in cities that have nice, smooth roads, many other people live in areas that challenge drivers with much tougher road-conditions. In areas like these, drivers can greatly benefit from the services of 4-wheel drive vehicles.

That said, there are many situations in which 4-wheels of rotating power are a bit much for the prevailing road conditions. In such situations, many drivers benefit from 2-wheel drive service. Some vehicles offer drivers like you the best of both worlds, and these cars often include special parts called transfer cases. 

If you drive a true four wheel drive (4WD) vehicle, then that means it is equipped with a transfer case. This is one of the things that separate 4WD vehicles from all wheel drive (AWD) vehicles. An AWD vehicle is in AWD mode all of the time and uses three differentials (front, center, and rear). A true 4WD vehicle, on the other hand, can be operated in two wheel drive or 4WD, and uses two differentials and a transfer case.

Your car’s system works as a result of the belts and hoses connecting all the components together. When the key is initially turned, the battery supplies the charge that charges the electrical system and starts the engine. From there, the alternator takes over to keep everything charged.

If the timing belt were missing, the engine’s cam and crankshafts wouldn’t have a way to open and close the valves and pistons. 

As part of the routine maintenance that is required for your vehicle to run efficiently and safely, the air filters that are in your cabin and your engine should be changed out periodically. There are a number of reasons the Mullen Motors service team recommends that this should be done, including:

• Increased gas mileage
• Less emissions produced overall
• Extension of your engine's life
• Increased ability to accelerate

You may not notice that any of these things are starting to decrease because they do so ever so slowly. 

As a vehicle owner, you’ve heard of synthetic oil and likely are aware of some of its benefits, but what is it, exactly? Basically, it’s a man-made motor oil, developed specifically to perform for motor vehicle engines. This synthetic oil is more uniform on a molecular level than conventional oil. This impacts performance beneficially for Southold, NY commuters.

Synthetic oil is chemically engineered to offer the best protection for your vehicle. It has excellent cleaning properties for removing engine contaminants, such as nitric and sulfuric acid, carbon and soot.

Keeping your gas tank full, especially during the winter, may sound like advice there is no harm in ignoring, but neglecting your gas tank could cause costly damage. A lot of people keep their gas tank at least half full of gasoline, which helps the gas tank avoid condensation.

During cold winter months, even if you buy gas with ethanol, excess condensation in your gas tank could freeze and cause your fuel lines to freeze up. When that happens, your car won't start.
