When it comes to maintaining our high-quality used vehicle from Auction Direct USA, one of the best things we can do is be mindful of the oil.

One of the best things about road-tripping around Victor, NY, is cranking up the radio and singing our favorite songs. Many of us remember popping a cassette tape or CD into our car’s music system as we cruised down the highway.
