Mice love to take up residence in cars over the winter and chew through wires.Also check the floor or ground under the vehicle to make sure there are no leaks and investigate anything you see there to make sure those systems and reservoirs are sound. Check the fluid levels. Make sure everything is filled up and ready to go.Remove the cables and clean them up with a wire brush using a mix of baking soda and water if there is. Check the battery for corrosion on the connections. If the battery was stored in the car during the winter months there could be some corrosion buildup.Air up and inspect the tires. Make sure they’re at the correct PSI, have no flat spots, plenty of tread and aren’t dried out or cracking.Summertime heat is rough on these parts and you don’t want to end up stranded on the side of the road because of a break. If anything looks out of sorts, replace it. Check the belts and hoses. Make sure they’re in good working order with no cracks, swelling, fraying or leaking.So, err on the side of caution and change it out. Even if you changed it last year moisture can build up in the oil tank over time and that’s definitely a show stopper for your engine.
