u003ch2u003eDebunking the Myths of Hybrid Maintenanceu003c/h2u003ernSome drivers unfamiliar with hybrid vehicles think that their electric systems need constant, expensive maintenance. However, the truth is quite the opposite. Hybrid cars can get by with less frequent visits to the repair shop than cars with just a gasoline engine.rnrnHybrid cars extend their service intervals and save you money in three ways:rnu003col style=u0022font-size: 14px;u0022u003ern tu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eLonger Engine Oil Life:u003c/strongu003e Since hybrids use their electric motor at low speeds, their gasoline engines don’t experience as much wear and tear as those of non-hybrid cars. As a result, their engines need fewer u003ca href=u0022https://advancedautomotiveva.com/oil-change-va/u0022u003eoil changesu003c/au003e and generally don’t break as often.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eLess Wear on Brake Pads:u003c/strongu003e Hybrid cars use regenerative braking to charge their batteries as you remove your foot from the gas pedal. This technology naturally slows the car, causing less wear on your brake pads.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eLonger-lasting Battery:u003c/strongu003e Your hybrid actually has two batteries — the hybrid battery and the regular 12-volt car battery. Unlike non-hybrid cars, hybrids don’t rely on the 12-volt battery for ignition and other heavier duties, significantly extending their lifespan.u003c/liu003ernu003c/olu003ernu003ch2u003eWhat Kind of Maintenance Do Hybrids Need?u003c/h2u003ernAlthough hybrids can require less frequent visits to the repair shop, they still need maintenance. They have gasoline engines, brake pads, and transmissions, so they require all the regular maintenance that non-hybrid cars do.rnrnYou should bring your hybrid in for an oil change every u003cstrongu003e5,000 to 10,000 milesu003c/strongu003e. They also need regular transmission and brake fluid flushes, so it’s a good idea to let us check your hybrid vehicle twice a year.rnrnIn addition to regular hybrid car maintenance tasks, hybrids need some special attention. Hybrid car maintenance tasks include:rnu003ch3u003eu003cstrongu003eBattery Air Filter Replacementu003c/strongu003eu003c/h3u003ernYour hybrid has an air filter that keeps dirt and other contaminants off your battery. This is the most common special maintenance task that hybrids need.rnu003ch3u003eu003cstrongu003eBattery Cleaningu003c/strongu003eu003c/h3u003ernThe filter won’t catch every single dirt particle. Dirty batteries can die much faster than clean ones, so you should have our technicians clean dirt and corrosion from your battery regularly.rnu003ch3u003eu003cstrongu003eBattery Replacementu003c/strongu003eu003c/h3u003ernHybrid batteries can last up to 10 years, but they will wear out eventually. Replacing the battery is a demanding task, but our hybrid expert technicians will take care of it.rnu003ch3u003eu003cstrongu003eInverter Maintenanceu003c/strongu003eu003c/h3u003ernThe inverter converts DC power stored in the battery to AC energy to power your vehicle. This process produces a lot of heat, so it’s important to keep your inverter’s coolant topped up.rnrnu003cstrongu003eDON’T DELAY YOUR HYBRID MAINTENANCE — CALL ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE TO u003ca href=u0022https://advancedautomotiveva.com/book-an-appointment/u0022u003eBOOK AN APPOINTMENTu003c/au003eu003c/strongu003e
