5 Maintenance Tips to Extend Your Car’s Engine Life with the Right Oil
Your car is one of your biggest investments, and the engine is its heart. As lubricant specialists, we want to share some practical experience to help you extend your car’s engine life.
Following these five simple maintenance tips and using the right oil will keep your car happy and save you money down the road.
- Check Your Oil Regularly: Make it a habit to check your oil level with the dipstick about once a month.
2. Use the Right Oil for Your Car: Your manual specifies the right oil for a reason. Our expert advice often helps car owners understand how frequent start-stop driving degrades oil faster, making the right choice even more critical.
3. Stick to Your Oil Change Schedule: Don’t put off your oil changes. Nothing keeps an engine cleaner or better lubricated than fresh oil.
4. Watch for Warning Lights: If the oil pressure light comes on, pull over safely and check the level. Never ignore it.
5. Store Extra Oil Correctly: Keep any spare oil bottles sealed tightly in a cool, dark place to keep them fresh.
These simple steps make a world of difference in the life of your vehicle.
