Just remember that ;the warm temperatures and lack of maintenance can get in the way of a perfect holiday. For this reason at Bill Rigdon AMSOIL Dealer in Portland, we created the following post containing useful ideas to summerize your car.

Check the Oil

Remember to check your oil levels and change it according to the maintenance schedule of your vehicle.

Attention to Detail ;
