Maintenance

While most car engines will eventually require major repair, a basic maintenance schedule should be followed to ensure that the engine lasts as long as possible and operates safely and efficiently. Regular oil changes are a must, as new oil will keep the engine lubricated and running smoothly. In addition, keeping an adequate level of engine coolant in the car will keep an engine from overheating. Occasionally spark plugs may need to be replaced. The engine air filter, which cleanses the air that is blended with fuel prior to combustion, is another item that should be changed as needed
