It’s safe to say that the more you care for your machine and its components, the more you extend the life of your car. You don’t even need to run to the service centre now and then, except for periodic servicing, but you can do them at home. First things first, focus on the oil and change it now and then. It’s the fuel or your machine and keeps it working smoothly for longer. The cooling system for your engine that comprises the radiator, thermostat, water pump and coolant is the next most crucial bit – ensure you take a good look every once in a while. Leakage can be alarming, so check for this too, once every week. Another important tip is to never run on the shallow case, as it can cause strain on your machine to work harder. The fuel filter is another essential bit that safeguards your device from harmful particles, so check if it needs a replacement each time you go for servicing.
