CAR BATTERY PROBLEMS
When your battery fails, receiving a boost often doesn’t fix the real problem. If this happens to you, the battery should be load tested and charging system inspected.

Should I consider using synthetic motor oil?
If you have a choice between conventional and synthetic, think about the annual mileage you drive and how good you are about changing your oil on schedule. If you constantly find yourself putting off that oil change and going beyond the recommended interval, synthetic oil is probably your best bet because you have more time in between changes. You’ll spend less time at the service station and will receive some performance benefits along the way.
If you’re good about changing your oil on time, however, and your manufacturer allows it, conventional oil will work just fine. Each change will be a bit lighter on your wallet, and you’re unlikely to notice a performance difference in your day-to-day driving.

How much extra fuel is burned when running the A/C?
It is estimated that the use of air conditioning in a typical car reduces fuel economy by one to two miles per gallon. For larger cars, or when traveling in extreme heat, air conditioning cuts fuel economy up to four miles per gallon.

How do you clean battery terminals?
After disconnecting both terminal cables, use a baking soda paste–three parts baking soda and one part water–to clean corrosion built-up from battery terminals without the need for a wire brush. The slightly alkaline paste neutralizes corrosion. After reconnecting the clamps to the terminals, wipe them with petroleum jelly to help prevent future corrosion. Be careful when working around a battery because it contains a strong acid.
