Hello everyone.

Thank you for reading my last post.

How is your vehicle treating you? Or should I ask, how are you treating your vehicle?

Well in this post I am going to talk about the basic preventive maintenance you should do on your vehicles.

The Engine:- You are required to change the engine oil and oil filter of your engine every 5000km or 30000miles or every 3months. There are some high quality oil that could stay in your engine for longer, for these types of oil try not to exceed four months so you don'4t have sludge build-up in your engine.
The Fuel System.:- If you have an external fuel filter, check it every 10,000 or every 6000mies or 6months to confirm if its blocked. If it is, you need to change it.
Brakes:- Check your brake pads level whenever you change your engine oil. That is, every 5000km or 3000miles. If low, change them. This helps prevent your brake disc from getting damaged. The brake lining should be checked and adjusted every 10,000k or 6000miles.
If your car has an automatic transmission, you are required to change the transmission oil and filter. Check your manual to know when to do this. It helps the transmission to last longer. If you don't have the manual you can search out the mileage it should be done for your car's model and year on google.
Check your tyre pressure regularly. At least once a month. To get an accurate reading, check in the mornings when the weather is cool and when you have not really driven the car for too long.
Check your car lights at least once a month. If any bulb is burnt or not working, rectify.
If you notice any noise from your suspension, get it checked and rectified immediately. What you feel is small might actually be a major problem.
Balance your tyres whenever you buy new ones.
If you treat your vehicle well, it is sure to treat you well too.
Ensure to do the above listed things on your car, especially, changing the engine oil and filter regularly will make your engine last longer.
Also, don't forget to do the basic checks listed in my last post on your car regulaly.

I will appreciate your comments on this post.

Have a great day all.

Best Regards
