1. Change the rubber instead of the entire windshield wiper

2. Save fuel and enlarge the life of your motor engine with synthetic oils
They cost up to twice more minerals, but its benefits far outweigh its cost, and will provide the following benefits:
- Greater protection . Oils are made with more advanced refining and have a higher purity and quality, in addition to which additives are added, resulting in a more homogeneous structure and fluid molecules with chains of polymers and more difficult to break and additives to give better properties; more protection fluidity and low temperatures, improved resistance to decomposition by high temperatures, etc. so your engine will wear less andlast up to 80% more .
- Lower consumption. With a more stable viscosity over a greater temperature range, has a higher degree of protection at low viscosities, which can be used finer oils without loss of performance, such as 5W30 (if your car is accepted by Manual ), resulting in a motor that rotates with less effort, yet still being cold, reducing fuel consumption between 5 and 20%.
- Less maintenance . By resisting longer harsh working conditions, oil changes are postponed to 12,000-15,000 kms, saving costs of maintenance.
So you just have to check on the vehicle maintenance manual oil that you choose meets the specifications required by your engine; usually come viscosities and accepted standards for diesel normally ACEA C3 for diesel equipped with diesel particulate filter (soot often dirty the oil in diesel). No goals will lower viscosity than permitted by the manufacturer ! In the long run could wear / prematurely damaged engine parts.
We may also use problems if the engine oil and has many miles using mineral oil, have higher clearances, but while this consumption is not excessive, will always give better results than a mineral synthetic one.

3. Change LED lamps
Increasingly, those who bring this technology by default, but if your car already has a few years, I recommend changing brake lights and interiors by homologated lights, or at least have a minimum of quality and safety.
I installed some Chinese , and darling with them because they can pose a fire risk for bad design, although modified and it took them two years with no problems, and I think it will last over 20 years.
Changing them will be saving lamps 60 € approx. in the life of the vehicle, and more labor.
Lights low and high beam, H7, H4 and the like, there is still no substitute for proper LED; light or less, or catch so hot that last little, and we can not risk such an important issue as the see and be seen at night.
4. Reduce the bill and CO2 emissions: Share vehicle contacting with other users
Its use is completely legal (at least in Europe), as we are sharing the costs of a planned trip, as under the existing law; thousands of passengers already use this system between the main cities of Europe, with travelers saving up to 60%, and the driver saving up to 80% of maintenance and fuel, with more flexibility and speed.
Thanks to the control points and websites, we can travel safer.
5. Drive more efficiently: Save up to 60% fuel
Often not accelerate arrive earlier , especially if we are in town, where consumption over soar with aggressive driving, which can make a significant difference in consumption, wear parts (brakes, engine), wheels, etc.
It is usually best to get the engine at medium engine speeds , which is more carefree and consume less, but depends on the load of the car, slope of the street, etc.
There are websites with more information and tips on driving adapted to the situation, so I will refer to them .
6. Use "ECO" tires
Today all brands of tires have lower power versions, (Micheling was one of the pioneers in this field) which offer lower rolling resistance, and there are specialized websites that compare the grip, durability and economy of these tires, which usually are highly recommended .
