Auto technicians say the key to keeping vehicles running well-today and down the road-is routine maintenance. Yet many drivers tend to stall when it comes to keeping up with some everyday auto-basics. A recent survey by the Car Care Council found:

38 percent of cars had low or dirty engine oil.
54 percent had low tire pressure.
28 percent had inadequate cooling protection.
19 percent needed new belts.
16 percent had dirty air filters.
10 percent had low or contaminated brake fluid.
