The Dangers of Driving with Low Oil Level
Oil is an important fluid that is required for all vehicles to operate properly. It lubricates different parts of the engine and reduces friction to prevent overheating. You must maintain the correct oil engine pressure or you risk damaging different parts of your vehicle.
Symptoms
When you’re oil pressure is low, one of the most common symptoms is a decrease in engine performance. As the pressure drops, the friction among different engine parts increases, which can make your motor work harder than it should. Some of the most common signs of reduced performance are the engine stalling, a loss of power, and fewer miles per gallon.
Another common symptom is the oil light going on, which may be caused by the following problems.
• The pressure of your oil is too low. The oil pump may not be circulating enough fluid or the oil level is too low. It may have been a while since you last changed the oil or the circulation lines may be leaking. If your car leaves puddles of oil when you park, then you definitely have a leak.
Another cause may be a worn-out gasket or seal. The fluid is then exposed to high temperatures and leaks into other areas of the engine. Dark smoke coming from your tailpipe or a strong burning smell can indicate that you have an internal oil leak.
• The oil viscosity is incorrect. If you’re using motor oil with viscosity that is lower than what is recommended in your owner’s manual, then it will not provide enough resistance when flowing. Using oil with higher viscosity can prevent it from flowing easily.
• The oil sensor is broken. The oil sensor monitors the passage of fluid and if it gathers too much dirt or grime, it may send the wrong messages to your car’s computer. You may want to check the oil level and if it is sufficient, it’s likely that the sensor may need replacing.
• You need to change the oil. To be effective, oil must be changed at the schedule described in your owner’s manual. If you ignore this task, the drop in oil level turns the light on. Changing your oil is a job that you can do yourself. But if you have no time, you can take your car into our service department for a quick one.
• The oil circuit has worn out. As with every component in your car, the oil circuit deteriorates with age, which can expand the gaps between moving components and reduce oil pressure. Another component that can wear out and cause the light to go on is the pump.
How to Fix the Problem
When any of these symptoms occur, you should take the time to figure out what’s going on.
1. Find a safe place to park that is away from all other vehicles and allows you to move freely in front of your car. You do not want to wait until your engine conks out while you’re on the road because then you will be stopping the flow of traffic and become a target for an accident.
2. Turn the engine off and allow it to cool.
3. Pop open the hood and look at the oil levels. You’ll need to find the dipstick, which is described in your owner’s manual. Pull the stick out, wipe off the end, and put it back into its container. Pull it out once more and check the oil level at the tip, which should be between minimum and maximum. If no oil is showing, you should not drive your vehicle and instead have it towed to a service center. If you do notice oil at slightly below the minimum, you can still drive your vehicle for a short distance.
4. Make an appointment with our service center where factory-trained technicians can diagnose the problem and recommend a solution.
Dangers
If you insist on driving with a low oil level, you may only be able to rely on your vehicle only for a short time. Eventually, the pressure may drop so much that you no longer have any oil running through your system. The moving parts of your motor will start rubbing against each other creating too much friction and heat, which can damage your engine. Assuming your engine can still be fixed, it may cost you plenty of money.

Tips for New Drivers
New drivers have a sense of freedom that is quite unlike any other. Of course, with this freedom comes great responsibilities. In order to support new drivers and help make the roads safer for everyone, here are some tips.
1. Make adjustments
When you first get into the vehicle, take a few minutes to make the adjustment necessary so you are comfortable and safe. Move the seat so you can easily reach the pedals and adjust the steering wheel and mirrors as well.
2. Buckle up
Never drive without buckling your seat belt. This is also true if you are a passenger in a vehicle — whether you ride in the front or back. Using your seat belt helps prevent you from making contact with other objects in the car, such as the windshield or dashboard, in the event of an accident.
3. Obey the rules of the road
As a driver, it’s your responsibility to know the traffic laws of the area where you are driving. While there are numerous road signs that are designed to help you out, you’ll also need to know how to yield the right-of-way, merge, and other rules to be a safe and courteous driver.
4. Use your signals
Few things are more frustrating to other drivers than those that don’t use their signals to indicate their actions. Not only is this an inconvenience, but making movements that others don’t anticipate could lead to accidents.
Be sure, too, that you signal far enough in advance so that other drivers have time to adjust their driving accordingly. As a general rule of thumb, always signal before turning, changing lanes, or any other movement that could affect those around you.
5. Watch your speed
Unfortunately, speeding is often a natural reaction if you are running late or trying to get somewhere important. However, as a driver, you are obligated to follow the posted speed limits wherever you are driving.
Speeding continues to be a leading reason for crashes and fatalities. The faster your vehicle is traveling, the longer it takes for you to stop it. Greater speed also means that any impact that occurs will be more severe than if you were moving more slowly.
An important note regarding the posted speed limit. The speed limit that is posted is assuming that the conditions in which you are driving are perfect. That is, there is ideal weather, traffic, and other conditions that make the speed limit one that is safe.
However, as a driver, you are required to adjust your speed to accommodate any factors. For example, inclement weather should mean that you slow down. Lots of other traffic — vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, etc. — also means that you’ll need to slow down.
6. Nix distractions
The distractions that clamor for a new driver’s attention are even more diverse and prevalent. Even talking to the passenger sitting next to you can be distracting. Always keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel so that means that activities like eating and changing the radio should only be done while you’re stopped at a light, stop sign, or while parked.
The use of cell phones has added another distraction that can be difficult to ignore. If you find yourself distracted by your phone, turn it off while you’re driving or check to see if there’s an option for a driving mode that won’t allow calls or messages to come through while you’re moving.
If you must take or make a call or message, pull off on a safe place in the road to do so. Never make or take a call or message while you’re driving.
7. Keep your vehicle well maintained
Following the recommended maintenance schedule can help keep you safe. Regular oil changes, fluid checks, and tune-ups can help prevent accidents and dangerous breakdowns. Make sure that your tire pressure is checked frequently and replace your tires when necessary.
At Lawrence Chevrolet, our service department is equipped to offer nearly any type of repair or maintenance procedure that your vehicle might need. We also carry an array of high-quality parts in our fully-stocked parts department. Stop by or call us today for more information.
Why Buy Used?
Buying a new car has its perks, but it’s easy to overlook the advantages that buying a used car offers. If you’re out shopping for another vehicle, consider some of the following upsides of purchasing a slightly used vehicle.
You’ll Pay Less Upfront
One reason to opt for a used car is the sticker shock that often comes with buying a new car. According to a recent analysis by Kelley Blue Book, the estimated average transaction price for a new light vehicle in the U.S. was $38,948 as of December 2019. Even with generous dealer discounts and factory rebates and incentives, the steep cost of a new car can be off-putting for some and out of reach for others. Car prices can also come as an unwelcome shock if you’ve been out of the market for years.
Needless to say, buying a used car is the way to go if you’re on a tight budget, since you’ll pay thousands less for your purchase when compared to the cost of a brand-new vehicle. A used car is also appealing if you have new-car money, but simply don’t want to spend any more than you have to for a reliable and comfortable vehicle.
You’ll Suffer Less Depreciation
From the moment you take a new car off the showroom lot, you’ll immediately run into the specter of depreciation. A new car purchase not only loses upwards to 10 percent of its initial value once it leaves the dealership, but roughly 60 percent of its value vanishes without a trace within the first three years of ownership. Ouch!
With a used car, the previous owner has already taken that wallet-wrenching hit for you, which is reflected by the lower cost of the used car versus its brand-new counterpart. Buying a used car is a great idea if you want to sidestep the steep costs associated with depreciation.
You’ll Have More Variety
Can’t find what you want when shopping for a new car? Try searching amidst the vast inventory of used cars. With so many used cars to choose from in a wide array of different body styles, trim levels, and a multitude of different features and options, you’re bound to find the one that appeals to you. Some used cars may even offer features that are hard to find on new cars within your price range.
You’ll Get More Car for the Money
For the same price of a new car, you can buy a used car that offers more features, a more powerful engine, or even a bigger vehicle that offers more interior space and/or seating capacity. Buying used can be a boon if you’re in search of a family SUV or minivan and need the extra size and space. If you want all of the luxury toys you can handle but on a mainstream car budget, a used or certified pre-owned luxury vehicle is the way to go.
Certified Pre-Owned Cars Are Like-New
Let’s say you want a used car, but also want the warranty and fresh look and feel of a new car. Certified pre-owned cars offer just that, providing buyers with used vehicles that are as close to new as possible. Each certified pre-owned vehicle undergoes a stringent factory-certified inspection process, where every potential flaw is scrutinized and every aspect of the vehicle is brought up to rigorous standards. Each vehicle is not only inspected and reconditioned to “like-new” status but also offered for sale with a warranty and other perks like free roadside assistance.
Insurance and Registration is Cheaper
It’s not just the cheaper upfront cost that makes a used car so appealing. In most cases, it’s also cheaper to register and insure a used vehicle as opposed to a brand-new one. Insurance companies often charge premiums based not just on the vehicle’s market value, but also the costs of repairing the said vehicle in the event of an accident. For the most part, used cars not only have a lower market value, but parts are also cheaper and the repair costs are also typically lower. The vast majority of states also charge lower registration fees and ad valorem taxes for older vehicles, which makes buying used an advantage.
Vehicle History Reports Help Reduce Risk
Buying a used car no longer means living in fear of a shadowy vehicle history. All it takes is a simple search on Carfax, AutoCheck, or VINCheckPro based on the vehicle identification number (VIN) to discover a used car’s prior ownership and service history. Some dealerships may even offer VIN checks for their vehicle inventory at no charge. Armed with this information, you can choose the used vehicle you want without the risk of picking a vehicle with a less-than-stellar maintenance history.
When you’re ready to buy a used car, check out the enormous selection of pre-owned and certified pre-owned vehicles at Lawrence Chevrolet.

Five Tips on How You Can Improve Gas Mileage
How Can I Improve Gas Mileage In My Vehicle?
When you are considering a vehicle to purchase, one of the essential aspects you may think about is fuel efficiency. No matter what car you pick, whether it is a Chevy or not, our team from Lawrence Chevrolet wanted to share some ways to help you save at the pump. With these simple tips, you’ll find yourself filling up the gas tank less often and putting more cash in your pocket.
Keep Consistent With Checking Air Pressure
One of the easiest ways to improve gas mileage is to keep your tires properly inflated. You can find the ideal range of tire pressure either on the sticker on the side of the door or by reading your owner’s manual. Also, you’ll get a notification on your monitoring system if your pressure drops below the recommended amount. During colder temperatures, tire pressure can drop faster, so keeping them at the right level will help a tank of gas last longer. A general rule of thumb is to check your pressure at least once a month to double-check you’re not driving around with an under-inflated tire.
Check The Engine Air Filter And Replace If Necessary
Imagine the air filter like that lungs of your vehicle. With a dirty air filter, your car’s engine will need to work much harder, thus decreasing performance and fuel efficiency. Just like a dirty air filter will increase your energy expenses at home, it has a similar effect in your car. It is much more difficult for air to flow into your engine when it’s covered with grime or other debris. A glance at your air filter can usually give you an indication if it’s time to replace it, but you can be on the safe side if you change it out every year, or in intervals of about 15,000 miles.
Opt For Lighter Hauls If Possible
Are you one of those people that seems to have everything imaginable inside their car or trunk? If so, you may not realize it is causing you the need to fill up more often. It’s easy to make the connection because, according to the EPA, for every additional 100 pounds you are carrying inside your car, it reduces fuel efficiency by one percent. Make it a point to remove any necessary items that don’t need to be there, and you’ll find yourself saving some money.
Think About Your Driving Habits
Aggressive driving can certainly be the culprit for sucking up your gas usage. Here are some best practices to consider for optimal fuel efficiency:
-Use cruise control when traveling on the highway to avoid erratic accelerating and decelerating
-Observe the recommended speed limit- Again, according to EPA, your fuel efficiency can decrease about seven percent for every 5MPH over 60MPH
-Accelerate smoothly out of red lights and don’t brake hard when approaching a stop
-Watch your idle times- if you’re in a traffic jam, then you can turn off the engine if you know you’ll be stalled for a while
-Don’t make a trip for all individual errands. Instead, plan one trip and go when traffic is less congested
-It’s not necessary to use the air conditioning at full blast excessively. If possible, roll down the windows if it’s not too hot outside
Keep Your Vehicle Maintained
When you’re bringing your car in for regular maintenance, you’re also doing your part to improve gas mileage. Getting a tune-up and making sure you are using the recommended motor oil are can help tremendously. As mentioned earlier, maintaining the correct tire pressure is important, but you also should rotate them as well to ensure even wear. Staying proactive is the best way to go!

Our factory-trained technicians can do our part to save you money. You can make an appointment 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to get your car serviced at our location.

You’re Looking for a Sporty Sedan
Performance is important when you’re searching for a sporty sedan. You want to look stylish behind the wheel and you want to feel the power as you drive down the highway. The Corvette and the Camaro are known for being sporty muscle cars that can offer an impressive amount of horsepower.

They’re small but powerful models that allow you to get to where you want to go. Both come in an array of vibrant colors, too, so that you can get seen on the road.
You’re Driving People Around All the Time
When you have three or more people in your vehicle all the time, you might want to explore an SUV. This can give you two or three rows for the passengers while ensuring that they have the legroom to be comfortable. Chevy has a long list of SUVs for you to consider:
• Blazer
• Equinox
• Tahoe
• Traverse
• Trax
• Suburban
Each one varies in terms of the exterior look as well as the interior layout.

You Need Plenty of Cargo Room
Cargo room can come in varying sizes. You might want a bit of cargo room for your shopping needs, such as opting for a spacious SUV like the Tahoe or Suburban. Then again, you might need a cargo van, such as the Express. We’ll be sure to show you the models for your residential and commercial needs from our expansive inventory. Plus, we’ll show you how seat configurations can change, making it easy to fold down seats for when you need a bit more room on occasion.
You’re Looking for Something Rugged
Ruggedness is a highly sought after feature when you spend your day driving around in the mud, hauling supplies, and even driving off-road from time to time. At Lawrence Chevrolet, we can introduce you to the Chevy Colorado which has a lot to offer you as a comfortable pickup truck. You can choose a crew cab that seats up to four while providing you with the size truck bed that fits your individual needs.
The Silverado, too, comes in a few different sizes such as like 1500, 2500HD, and 3500HD. This way, you can decide whether you want a light-duty or a heavy-duty truck for all of your adventures. Many have an impressive amount of towing capacity, too, allowing you to haul boats, RVs, and more. It’s the rugged work truck that you can get dirty.
Even beyond the models, there are countless decisions that need to be made. You can choose FWD or AWD transmissions. You can choose from sporty or high-end trim levels to give you more tech and safety features. Chevy also offers a diverse level of colors, allowing you to have the neutral or vibrant hue that you want to stand out on the road.
Once you know what it is that you’re looking for, visit us at Lawrence Chevrolet. We can introduce you to some of the models in person and take you for a test drive. With the help of our knowledgeable sales staff, we’re confident that we can find the right Chevy for you.
Seasonal Maintenance Tips with Lawrence Chevrolet
Start the new year by being prepared for all the seasons this year will bring. Follow these seasonal tips to make sure you’re ready for the road.
Spring
• New Windshield Wipers: Winter can take a toll on your wiper blades, so make sure to check and replace them if necessary.
• Replace Tires: If you drove all winter with winter tires, it’s time to replace them with your standard set. If you drive with all-season tires throughout the year, rotate them for longer life.
Summer
• Oil Changes: Make sure to stay on top of regular oil changes. Summer is the season of moving and hauling, which means changing oil more frequently.
• Rotate Tires: Summer’s also the season for long road trips. Make sure to rotate your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles and check the tire tread to ensure a safe and easy road trip. Need help checking the tread of your tires? Check out our guide here!
Fall/Winter
• Heater/Defroster: Not having your defroster working properly could mean low visibility through your windshield. Make sure to check your owner’s manual and replace any necessary filters.
• Carry Emergency Gear: Alongside your emergency safety kit that contains road salt, a snow shovel, and an ice scraper, it’s important to keep an extra pair of gloves, blankets, flares, a flashlight, and extra snacks in your glove box.
Start the new year out right by being prepared for the year to come. Ensure your safety and comfort no matter what time of year by taking these necessary steps. At Lawrence Chevrolet, we are happy to do what we can to promote a safe and comfortable drive. Visit us today!
