SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Was your car
exposed to the conditions that come along with a hot summer?
Heat, humidity, dust and other severe weather conditions can take a
toll on a vehicle, no matter how new or how old it is, and heading
into fall, most will need to be checked for performance
issues. For many of these maintenance issues, let
Champion® help. The Champion brand is one of the
automotive aftermarket industry's most recognized brands, and in
addition to its iconic spark plugs, offers an extensive product
line including filters, batteries, and lighting to keep your car
in prime running condition. Fall Car Care Month,
sponsored by the Car Care Council, is the perfect time to make sure
that your vehicle is ready for the changing weather.
When drivers make the effort to perform routine maintenance on
their vehicles, they not only make their vehicle safer for everyday
driving, but also increase the lives of their cars. As
consumers gear up for the rain, ice and snow that may be ahead,
Fall Car Care Month serves as a reminder to have your car inspected
for any damaged or worn parts, whether it be brakes and rotors;
misfiring spark plugs; dirty air and cabin filters from prolonged
exposure to dusty driving conditions; corroded battery leads; or a
burned-out headlight. If these types of parts fail, it can
lead to dangerous driving situations, so regular testing and
inspection is crucial to keeping your vehicle in safe and optimal
operating condition.
"As seasons change and driving conditions become more
challenging due to the weather in many areas of the country, both
DIYers and motorists less familiar with car repair should either
inspect their vehicles themselves or engage their trusted mechanic
to make sure that they're road-ready and safe to operate in
fluctuating road conditions," said Joe
Cirino, director, Business Development and Product
Management, Champion Products, North America. "With a
complete line of maintenance products, Champion provides solutions
to many of these issues, and during Fall Car Care Month, now is a
great time to 'Champion' your car for optimal performance and
reliability."

number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking

risk that the acquisition of Federal-Mogul or the separation may
not advance Tenneco's business strategy; the risk that Tenneco may
experience difficulty integrating all employees or operations; the
