Use your parking brake:Even if you are driving a car with an automatic transmission, use your parking brake regularly, especially if you're parked on an incline. It helps keep the brakes adjusted in the rear of the car and makes them last longer. Do not use your parking brake in the winter time because your brake will freeze and it will be stuck until it thaws out.

Get your car off to a good start every time you drive it:Start the car and drive off slowly and gently until the car reaches operating temperature. This reduces the strain on the engine while the oil is still cold and thicker. Another option is to use electric engine space heaters, and start the drive with a warm engine. Accelerate promptly to the target speed. For most modern cars, idling a cold engine is both counterproductive and wasteful. Additionally, as you accelerate, release the gas a bit to cause the automatic transmission to upshift while you are not pressing hard on the gas. This causes less wear on the internal clutches. It is easier on the clutches for the car to shift when you ease up on the gas.

Check the fluids:You should check the level of your antifreeze, oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and brake fluid, very regularly: like every time you buy gas. Even if your car doesn't leak fluids, it can develop a leak and quickly have a dangerously low level of something. You should also check the color of some of these fluids. Some of these have see-through plastic tanks that you can look through, and some have dipsticks. Antifreeze should be either pink, green, or yellow (Pink for newer cars with "Dex-Cool", green for old cars with plain Ethyl-Glycol, and green or yellow for cars that have been flushed and filled with universal antifreezes...brown antifreeze should always be flushed, it either has rust or a lot of dirt in it, probably both. Also, never mix antifreezes; if you don't know what color antifreeze your car has, buy a universal brand. Oil should be relatively clear, not black - black oil has been left in the engine for too long. Oil that looks white and milkshake-like has water in it, probably from an internal antifreeze leak, or very rarely, just a large amount of condensation. Transmission fluid should be bright red, and should not smell burnt...it probably needs to be changed if it's brown or smells burnt.

CAR COOLING SYSTEM:The Car Cooling System should be maintained with utmost importance. This system is responsible for maintaining or protecting the valuable engine of the car. The cooling system stops the car engine from overheating.
The most important component of the cooling system is the coolant. The coolant is a special kind of liquid used to cool the engine. The coolant level should be checked at regular intervals and more frequently during summers.The cooling system accessories like its pipes and hoses should be checked for leakage or for mal-functioning at regular intervals. The pressure caps attached to the radiator should also be examined properly to ensure that the cap is not defective. Even the fan belt should be examined as well.

CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:The Car Electrical System is as important as the nervous system of the human body. Any failure or any kind of altercation can cause serious damage to the car and a lot of inconvenience for the car owner.
The different components of the electrical system are the battery, the switches, the wiring, the fuses etc. However, out of all of them the most important are the battery and the fuses.
The battery should be maintained properly and checked regularly. The water level of the battery should be maintained properly. If the car is not being in use, then the battery terminals should be removed. The battery and the alternator should have to be in very good shape to ensure that there is no starting problem.
The fuses and the wiring are equally important as well. The fuses should also be checked and maintained to make sure that the fuses do not blow up while the car is in motion and create inconvenience for everybody.

CAR FUEL SYSTEM:Car Fuel System is another essential aspect of a car. Fuel used in the car should be of high quality. Until and unless the fuel is of high quality the mileage of the car will not be good.
Low quality fuel if used can cause many serious problems for the car. For example, the fuel filter can become dirty and can cause problems.
The other important components of the fuel system are the air filter, the spark plug and the timing belt. Even the maintenance of all these components is to be taken very seriously and needs to be examined at regular intervals. If required they should be replaced as well.

Exterior upkeep:There are a variety of elements that can damage the paint on a car. Dead insects, fresh tarmac from road constructions, etc if left unattended will damage the paint on a car. To protect against all of that it is always wise to have a Teflon coating put on the car from the manufacturer. A Teflon coating protects the paint by preventing different things like marks of bird droppings, tree sap, dead insects, etc from sinking into the paint of the car. It will also prevent minor scratches on the paint while wiping the car dry.

Feeling the Summer Heat? Your Car Battery is Too:Excessive heat and overcharging are the two main reasons for shortened battery life. Heat causes battery fluid to evaporate, thus damaging the internal structure of the battery. A malfunctioning component in the charging system, usually the voltage regulator, allows too high a charging rate, leading to slow death for a battery.If your battery is the type that needs to be topped off, check it regularly, especially in hot weather. Add distilled water when necessary and always replace a battery with one that’s rated at least as high as the one originally specified.

Clean your car engine:Wash your engine at least every year. A clean engine runs cooler than a dirty one. A clean engine also enables you to easily spot leaks and service its components. You may have your engine professionally steam cleaned or you may do it yourself. In this case, make sure you protect sensitive engine components including the air intake, distributor and electrical parts with plastic bags before getting started. You may use a grease-cutting detergent and a bristle brush to scrub the engine. Make sure to rinse thoroughly once done.

Octane Overdose:If some is good, more is better" thinking does not apply to octane. Here the rule is to supply whatever octane the engine is rated for and call it done. Higher-than-required octane does not yield more power or mileage, only oil company profits.
Some engines are rated for premium 91 octane fuel but can burn 87 octane regular, thanks to the magic of knock sensors. In that case, run regular gas if puttering around surface streets, and premium fuel if full-throttle driving is part of your daily repertoire.

Proper Tire Inflation and Rotation:Tires leak naturally and need the occasional check. Figuratively speaking, underinflated tires suck up gasoline. Under- or overinflated tires wear out sooner, and deliver the same emergency maneuver handling as marshmallows. You probably aren't going to check tire pressures monthly, but how about twice a year?

Fluids Galore:One of the best ways of preventing the interior destruction of the engine is by making sure all of the fluids are fresh and full. Purchase a fuel stabilizer, which prevents gasoline breakdown (causing damage to the engine and fuel line) and allows you to keep the tank relatively full, which keeps out extra airspace. Airspace can lead to moisture and rust.Take out the spark plugs and line the cylinder housings with oil. Again, this measure prevents corrosion. Change the oil and oil filter. Old oil has all sorts of byproducts and acids that can cause damage.

Beach Buggies Beware:If you live near the ocean―even if it has never, ever snowed in your area―your vehicles may still be under a slower attack by salt. The overspray and salt in the air near the beaches can and do cause their own rust and corrosion problems.
While not nearly as concentrated as the salt used on winter roads, it is important to keep your seaside sedan washed, waxed and inspected regularly for signs of salt damage. The biggest damage areas on beach-dwelling vehicles tend to be the hood, top, and rear deck of the car. Spray settles and dries, leaving a salt coating. Vinyl tops are especially susceptible to deterioration from exposure to salt and sun. Once the vinyl begins to break down, salt spray can accumulate underneath, and may go undetected until it has caused serious damage.Give your beach mobile a good washing at least once a month, adding a couple of tablespoons of baking soda to the wash water

Dry as a Bone:Carefully dry the edges of the doors inside and out, including the undersides of door handles, all hinges, plus the hood and trunk edges.Use a good quality spray protectant on all exterior rubber or vinyl surfaces. It may be best to spray they applicator you are using instead of spraying the product directly onto the surface. This will avoid any overspray onto the paint.
