70 maintenance tips that will extend the life of your car

70 maintenance tips that will extend the life of your car

Don’t drive your car’s engine at start-up. This is a quick way to add wear to your machine, especially if it’s cold outside.Accelerate slowly when you start your drive. The most worn to the engine and drive train occur in the first 10 to 20 minutes of operation.Warming up the engine by letting it idle on the entrance is not a smart idea. The engine does not operate at its peak temperature, resulting in incomplete combustion of fuel, soot deposits on the cylinder walls, oil contamination, and finally damaged components.Reduce pressure on the engine and your automatic transmission by switching to neutral at a red light. If not, the engine still functions to push the car even when it’s stopped.Avoid driving at high speeds and accelerate quickly, especially when the outside is very hot or very cold. Such driving behavior will result in more frequent improvements.Extend the life of your tires by driving carefully. Observe the posted speed limit. Avoid starting quickly, stopping, and turning. Avoid holes and objects on the road. Don’t jump over the sidewalk or hit a tire when the sidewalk is parked. And, of course, don’t burn rubber.When turning your steering wheel, do not hold the extreme right or left position for more than a few seconds. This can damage the power-steering pump.Consolidate your short driving trip. Most of the wear – as well as the pollution produced by your car – occurs in the first few minutes of driving. Doing multiple tasks at once, during low traffic hours if possible, will make your machine happier.
