22-The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, October 22, 2002 aU ar Care Protect you car' s vital fluids and you'll have found the secret (NC)-Just as your body runs on its vital fluids, so does your vehicle's engine. Your internai organs guarantee good health by cleaning and filtering those fluids con- stantly. You can guaran- tee the good health of your vehicle's engine, by ensuring that its vital fluids are in the best possible condition. The key is the efficiency IlIl of the filters that clean the engine (in effect, the engine's blood supply), the air that your engine breathes, the fuel from which it takes its energy, and the transmission fluid that enables the vehicle to move around smooth- y. Your owners manual will explain n detail just when these voriaus filters should be changed. Note that there are different recommended change infervals, depending on the type of driving you do. For example, follow directions for the Severe Maintenance Schedule if your driving consists of: y Short trips of less thon 5 miles e Short trips of less thon 10 miles when outside temperatures remain below freezing below freezing • Towing a traer or camper, using a roof-top carrier, or carrying maxi'- mum loads e Operating in severe dust conditions • Stop and go driving, " Excessive idling For these "severe" driv- ing conditions, experts recommendrthat bathb il and ail filters shouid be changed every 3 months or 5,000 kilometres. With today's sophisticated engines with longer serv- ice intervals, manufactur- ers are beginning to mar- ket products that can meet the service chal- lenge. The Fram® X2 Extended Guard™ filter, for example, is designed to last up to 11,000 kilometres and uses the latest in filter technology to hold up to 70% more dirt making it the ideal filter to partner with a synthetic oil change. Handy oil drain Two great product refinements are the Fram filter's no-slip, SureGRP® feature that make it easi- er to handie during instal- lation anN E movaland the NEW From® SureDrain™ prod- uct. The Fram® SureDrain™ product consists of a handy assembly valve kit that replaces the standard vehicle drain plug. It lets you drain hot engine oil with just a turn of the wrist - no tools,dno mess,n hassie, and it stays on your cor for easy ail changes every time. What a great idea! Winter brings with it a lot of flying grit and slush, so that your air filter has to work twice as hard. Many mechanics choose Fram® Extra Lifeli air filters, which use an advanced Triad fibre technology to lock dirt into microscopic cham- bers, a technique that is said to hold up to 48% more dirt than leading competitive round filters and 22% for panel filters. t's equally important that the fuel your vehicle burns is clean. Fuel injec- tors must be kept free of deposits to ensure proper atomization of the fuel. Otherwise, complete combustion i U occur, resulting inwasted fuel and increased exhaust emissions. For winter use, Prestone® Cold Start™ Fuel System Antifreeze & Cleaner will cleanup fuel injectors and carburetors, while its concentrated formula can also prevent gos line freeze. Keep the fluids flowing freely and cleanly and you' havecfound the secret of no-worry winter driving.
