Fall Car Care Month Checklist
Battery Check
Your vehicle's battery will have to work harder than normal during the colder autumn months. You should have a battery check or a battery inspection at Mazda of Claremont to ensure your battery is ready for the upcoming fall weather.
Tire Inspection
Colder temperatures can cause the air pressure levels in your tires to decrease. To prevent your tires from flattening, schedule a tire inspection to check your tires’ air pressure levels and tread levels.
Heater / Defrost Check
Having your vehicle’s heating system working properly helps you stay warm during the colder months ahead. Additionally, ensuring your defrost system works properly will help you see the roads of Rancho Cucamonga more clearly if your car frosts overnight.
Brake Inspection
Be sure to have your brake fluid, brake discs, brake pads, and other brake components inspected before fall begins.

How often should you change your oil during the fall season?
Many vehicles nowadays can usually go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between oil changes, but that number varies depending on the vehicle you drive and your driving habits around Upland. During the fall season, you should check your oil levels at least once or twice a month since oil can thicken during colder temperatures.
How long should I let my car warm up before driving it during the fall season?
Despite what many drivers might think, you only need to let your car warm up for about a minute or two before driving it. The engine will warm up even faster as you drive your vehicle around Claremont.
