Save a fortune, take care of the engine

Too often, motorists neglect their engines and end up paying for them. Engines are the heart of motor vehicles and when they have problems, everything else does. Regular maintenance and care is required to keep a car engine in tip top shape. Let’s take a closer look at a few ways to achieve this.

Oil change
Engine oil will wear every time the car is used. High temperature carbonizes the oil and its lubrication qualities decrease the more the car is used. The engine and all its parts need to be lubricated all the time to avoid the formation of sludge. Regular oil changes are a must.

Oil level check
The same principle from the previous item applies here. Oil levels decrease with usage, and the supply needs to be replenished. Low levels of oil can lead to more friction within the engine. It’s this friction that can cause much harm to the heart of the car.

Engine check
Once oil quality and oil levels are checked and properly maintained, it’s time to focus on the engine itself. Regular engine checks are important for several reasons. There are hundreds of moving parts in an engine, and all these parts need to be in perfect working order. A small crack with a small nut may spell the difference between a $20 part replacement, or a $200 repair.
