Engine Oil and Filter What you should do :  Change them  every 3,000 to 5,000 miles . However, many service shops and oil-change places are now using more advanced synthetic oils that last much longer. Again, consult your manual or dealership auto shop to find out how many miles you can go on synthetic oils.

Brake Pads, Rotors and Fluid What you should do :  Check the pads and rotors  every 3,000 to 5,000 miles ; replace fluid  every 2 years. What they do :  Brake pads and rotors provide friction to stop your motion. The brake fluid helps the brake pedal and brakes properly work with each other.

Spark Plug What you should do :  Change it  every 40,000 miles . What it does :  It gets your car moving, with an electric charge that lights gas vapors to start and run your automobile.

                         Types of Clutches Positive clutch Friction clutch Plate or disc clutch Single plate clutch Multi plate clutch Cone clutch Centrifugal clutch What is clutch? Clutch is a mechanical device use for engage or disengage (connect or disconnect) the driven shaft from driving shaft whenever required. Power is transmit from driving shaft to driven shaft. Clutch is widely used in automobile, in a transmission system while changing a gear ratio. It is one example of clutch uses like this clutch is use in various machine. There are different types of clutches and these are as follow. Positive clutch Positive clutch is used when positive drive (torque transmit without slip) is required. In positive clutch two machine elements are used, one element is rigidly fixed to driving shaft and other machine element is free to slide axially on splined driven shaft and it helps for engage or disengage clutch. Machine elements of positive drive hav

How Power Steering System Works? – Best Explanation       Introduction Vehicle dynamic is an integral part of an automobile vehicle which is as important as the power train of a vehicle, as if we need a power train to run a vehicle we also need vehicle dynamics systems to keep the vehicle running with stability, as we know suspension system is the part of vehicle dynamics that provide surface contact along with the turning stability to the vehicle but let’s just think, turning  the direction by the vehicle while moving invites lot’s of forces to disturb the stability of the vehicle which give rise to many questions like How it is done?.  What are the requirements to steer the vehicle in desired direction? To find these answers let’s just study further. A steering system of an automobile is an integral part of vehicle dynamics of a vehicle in which a series of mechanical components having certain important angles comes together to steer the front wheels of the vehicle acc

                                                               ABS SYSTERM ABS prevents the wheels from locking up, thus avoiding uncontrolled skidding of the vehicle and decreases the distance travelled without slipping. Driving on  expressways can be fun and thrill-inducing, as many of you surely know. One gets to unleash a car’s full potential. The city roads keep us grounded, but as soon as you hit the highway, there’s no looking back. You’ll almost never see a car going below 100 km/hr. The situation gets particularly tricky during monsoons, as cruising in a car at such high speeds is a perfect recipe for a disaster if the roads are slick. Even so, it does happen, so what do you do in a situation on a slippery road when you have to suddenly apply the brakes of your car? Without an anti-lock brake system, the wheels of your car stop spinning and the car will begin to skid. You’ll completely lose control over the car and the results can be deadly.
