Beyond Performance Edmonton Auto Parts: Tips for Diesel Maintenance

An oil change is generally recommended every 48,000 kilometers, though that figure may differ among manufacturers. Consulting the vehicle’s user manual may give hints on how often the oil must be changed. You can augment this by choosing the right oil filter—a good one will get rid of the unwanted particles in the oil that might lead to engine corrosion. Such a component is readily available at a well-stocked Edmonton auto parts shop like Lacustoms Performance Products.

Diesel engines use a lot of air in order to operate, so engine air filtration must be monitored regularly. Since an air filter can accumulate a hefty dose of dust and debris, you might want to have it cleaned every 24,000 kilometers. One can also opt to install a special indicator on the side of the air filter housing, which detects dirt buildup by a change in color. Keeping the air filter free of debris is critical for maintaining top-notch performance.

Tips for Truck Enthusiasts: Body vs. Suspension Lift Kits in Edmonton

If you’re thinking about purchasing one of the high-quality lift kits in Edmonton from an auto parts store like Lacustoms Performance Products, you’ll most likely have to choose between a body lift kit and a suspension lift kit. So what’s the difference, and which one is best for your truck?

Body Lift: The Basic Boost

A body lift kit only raises a truck’s body from the frame by about 1 to 4 inches (depending on the kit you purchase), giving it a higher ride height but not much ground clearance. Take note, however, that although the body is higher, the suspension and chassis are at the same height relative to the ground. Body lift installation is ideal if you’re mostly looking to install larger or taller tires for average off-roading needs.
