One of the most important things your car needs is fuel. Without fuel, you and your car are going nowhere. It is important to check and make sure your car's fuel system is working at its best. The Phillips Auto Group Chevrolet service team compiled two signs you may be experiencing fuel system problems.

• Fuel Pressure - The fuel pressure gauge is important because it lets the driver know how much fuel is in the engine. Each car requires a specific amount of pressure to make sure the engine is running at its best. 

What makes a car engine overheat, anyway? That's a question so many car owners all around the world have posed. If you want to know the answer to that critical question, there are actually several culprits to consider.

Overheating can be highly destructive to vehicles. That's why you need to know how to keep it away. A thermostat that's no longer working right can cause overheating. Insufficient amounts of oil can cause overheating. Problems with the functioning of the head gasket can as well. 

In addition to the coolant itself, your vehicle's cooling system has other parts that contribute to cooling efforts. One such component is called the engine fan, and this part can be worth its weight in gold when it works properly.

Engine cooling fans get their energy from various parts of the engine. Some motor cooling fans get their motive energy directly from the engine by way of belts and pulleys. Many designs have built-in electric motors, and yet others may be directly connected to drive shafts by way of special clutches.

While you may have heard that your vehicle needs an oil change every 3,000 miles, this is no longer the standard for cars on the road. Some people may tell you to get an oil change every 3,000 miles, but this is because this was the old maintenance schedule for less efficient vehicles.
