The conventional advice about vehicle oil changes has always been that you were supposed to do it at every 3,000 miles. However, if you're getting your oil changed this frequently, there's a good chance that you are doing it way too often. Of course, those of us here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Corpus Christi knows that it's important to change your oil often, but it can be a waste of time and money to change your oil every 3,000 miles.

When the winter weather arrives, you will wish you had made the switch to winter blades instead of leaving your old blades on the car. These are a few things that you may want to consider before driving this year without winter wiper blades on the car:

The rubber used on the winter blades will not tear easily in the colder weather if they get stuck to the glass with sleet and ice. The winter blades are covered in a rubber protective casing which keeps the precipitation out of the moving parts.

You may or may not be aware, but the dealership where you bought your vehicle from is often the best place to purchase auto parts.

"Getting there, of course, is only part of the fun. Setting up camp and breathing the fresh air is what it’s all about. The Jeep brand has you covered for the journey as well as the campsite, for everything from pitching a tent, to daylong hikes and romantic picnics."

Here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Corpus Christi, we’re beginning to notice a bit of a trend: the Jeep brand lineup has borne more than its fair share of movie stars. For example, the 2016 Jeep Renegade took to the silver screen earlier this year in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and now another model will be joining the superstar-ranks. The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk will light up the big screen in Independence Day: Resurgence at the end of this month, before finding its way to showrooms later this fall.
