1. CHECK OIL LEVEL

It’s crucial to ensure that the «pumps» of your Lowrider have oil, meaning they are at the optimal level.

This will allow the hydraulic system to function at 100% when raising and lowering or performing the famous jumps that amaze fans of Chicano Culture.

Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for it to cool down. This will allow the oil to settle in the crankcase, giving you a more accurate reading.

Open the engine hood and locate the oil dipstick: It generally has a grip handle on top and one end with marks indicating oil levels.

2. MAKE SURE THE BATTERIES ARE CHARGED

Typically, a Lowrider should have at least four batteries to activate tricks such as jumping, standing on two or three wheels, or raising and lowering.

Each of these movements requires electrical power to activate.

Therefore, the Chicano Culture enthusiast must ensure that the devices are fully charged.

It’s advisable to use an appropriate charger to keep the batteries adequately charged for several weeks.

3. DON’T FORGET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER

Being prepared for any risk scenario while maneuvering a Lowrider is a point in your favor.

Therefore, it’s necessary to have a fire extinguisher in the car.

This is to neutralize any sparks or flames that may occur during the operation of the hydraulic system with so much power.

The fire extinguisher can be located in the trunk of the Lowrider.

4. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

Another key aspect of Lowrider maintenance is to ensure that the car’s tires have the correct air pressure.

This ensures that the exhibition is flawless and without any issues.

Maintaining the correct tire pressure is essential for safety and the performance of your Lowrider, as it can affect traction, stability, and fuel efficiency.

With these four recommendations, your Lowrider will transform smoothly and surprise more than a few in every demonstration.
