I write this twice a year on social media and my blog posts, but here's a tip for you guys or maybe you have a Mom/Dad/Sibling/Relative/Neighbor/Friend that might need someone to check these things for them. Its close to Thanksgiving. Do something nice for someone!

This coming weekend is DST, where we mostly all 'fall back' an hour.

This is also a great time of year for you guys that are super busy or may not pay as much attention to your car to do some basic things.

If you do NOTHING else to your car, then this would be a good idea to do the bare minimum when the clocks change.


  • Oil and Filter Change
  • Check all your fluids
  • Tire Rotation/Balance/Inspect for nails and proper pressure
  • Air Filter, Cabin Filter (if equipped)
  • Inspect ALL your exterior lights, including the license plate and marker lights
  • Check Belts and Hoses
  • Check/replace your wiper blades

And don't forget your smoke detectors. For your domicile obviously.

Indeed.

Home Smoke and CO detectors, and air/furnace filters. Might as well drain the water heater too.

I think the universe is telling me to check my truck filter.

You posted this and then I saw my neighbor in midland working on his Jeep I asked him what he was working on and he said getting the sand out of the filter box.

Should probably crack the cover during lunch this week before I drive back to ft worth

Good advice, especially checking brake lights. Amazing how many people are driving with one or more brake lights inop.
