A radiator flush-n-fill service from Texaco Xpress Lube will help protect your engine year-round. We recommend changing standard anti-freeze every two years.

If your air filter is clogged with airborne insects, dust, dirt or sand, your engine is probably gasping for air. It's a good idea to change your air filter at every other oil change, or as often as your owner's manual suggests. If you drive in heavy dust conditions, you may need to change your air filter more often. Dirty air filters can cause the following problems: -Poor acceleration. -Poor overall engine performance. -A drop in gas mileage. If your transmission breaks down, you could go broke. Not having your transmission fluid changed at the manufacturer's recommended intervals can cause the fluid to oxidize at high temperatures. The resulting sludge and varnish can cause these expensive problems: -Rough shifting. -Slipping -Eventual transmission failure. Most manufacturers suggest checking the transmission fluid level at every oil change, and having the fluid changed every 15,000 miles. Be sure to follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended change intervals and fluid type requirements. It's a simple step that could save you time and money.

Check your owner's manual for your car's recommended differential fluid change interval. Red lights can kill your car's performance.
