Ever wonder what the most important Ford parts are in your car? There are numerous critical components that your vehicle relies on to run properly and keep you safe. The team at Helfman Ford has compiled a guide.
Powertrain Components
Your powertrain is made up of parts, including the engine, transmission, and spark plugs, that make your car run. It is critical to keep your powertrain in the best mechanical condition with service tasks such as:
- Oil and oil filter changes
- Air filter replacements
- Transmission fluid refills/replacements
- Coolant level check/refill
Visibility
On the road, one of the most important things you can do is ensure your visibility and safety on the road is to keep all your lights in perfect working order. This includes the brake lights, turn signals, and headlights. If one of your lights goes out, it’s important to get a new bulb as soon as possible.
Battery
Without a working battery, your vehicle won’t start. Signs that your battery is dying include:
- Dim headlights
- A car that is slow to start
- Your radio doesn’t turn on
- Your battery light is illuminated
- Your battery is over five years old
- Battery acid leaks
- Corrosion on the connectors
We recommend getting battery inspections and tests at least twice per year to ensure it is in good condition. After all, nobody wants to be stranded with a car that won’t start!
