Cold weather vehicle Don't-Dos (What shouldn’t we store in our car during the Winter?)
It's always easier to leave a few things in your vehicle, so you'll have them on hand. But in cold weather, while it's a good idea to carry items such as a phone charger, blanket, and shovel, there are some things you shouldn't store in your
Higher Mileage Service Intervals
Cars today can run a lot longer than they used to. In today's blog, we want to touch on service intervals for higher milage cars. The Mileage Portion Cars today are a lot tougher than they used to be. 100,000 miles used to be a major milestone back in the day. However, in today’s world, that’s barely anything to be boasting about. Before, you used to need to come in for high mileage service at around 10,000-15,000 miles. Now, it’s more like 50,000-80,000 miles, sometimes even 100,000 miles, before most newer vehicles need to come in for high mileage maintenance. To get the most out of your money and your vehicle, you want to make sure you’re coming in for high mileage service at around 100,000-200,000 miles. If you've stayed up on routine maintenance, you're typically in a good place. Maintaining your higher mileage vehicles properly allows things like your spark plugs, air filters, and transmission fluid to last much longer. If you ignore all the maintenance however, you'll be running into a log of problems. The intervals for some routine maintenance might be shortened a little bit after you hit 100,000 miles, but not neccarily by much because most things like spark plugs, air filters, transmission fluids, etc. last a lot longer than they used to.

What are Differentials?
We all have them in our vehicles. Sometimes they need to be replaced after a certain amount of wear and tear. But what exactly are differentials and how do they work? Weber Automotive can help you answer all this and more. Understanding Differentials Whether you have a car, truck, or van, every single vehicle has differentials. When the engine transmits the power through the driveshaft, it has to get to the wheel somehow. Meaning it always goes through what is called a differential. With front-wheel-drive (FWD), the differential is installed inside a housing next to the transmission called the transaxle. Essentially, the differential transmits engine power to the wheels, allowing each to turn at a different speed when turning your vehicle. Taking Proper Care of Your Differentials Most people do not know this, but your differentials have a liquid inside, a sort of oil-type fluid that helps lubricate the gears when driving. The fluid inside needs to be serviced now and then to maintain proper differentials inside your vehicle. Differentials do not require a lot of maintenance, but they need to be looked at now and again. The components inside the differentials do wear over time, so it is highly recommended to drain that fluid out and insert new fluid.
