The owner's manual also contains a map of engine compartment , which explains how to check oil, coolant or

transmission fluid.

Oil change schedule :-

Oil lubricates the moving parts of vehicle but gradually the engine oil gets dirty and loses the lubrication quality.

If you don't change it in time, the contaminated engine oil will accelerate engine wear and tear more faster.

And the most important thing is to check the engine oil level as low oil level also can damage the engine from

inside.

Check fluid levels :-

The health of the automatic transmission, power steering, cooling system and braking system depends on the condition of fluid.

But in the course of time these fluids evaporate, leak and lose the lubrication quality, so you always need to check

and change or top off when needed.

Most of the good antifreeze protects the cooling system for 3 yrs but it varies if you use a cheap product.

Make you car rust proof :-

To protect the vehicle and its components from getting rust, you must rust proof your car.

Make sure to wash and wax your vehicle in regular basis to prevent rusting in dirty areas.

You should replace the wiper blades twice a year and wax the vehicle once in every month.

So it's always advisable to keep the carpet area clean and dry to avoid any mishap.

Tire Rotation & care:-

You should rotate the tire in every 3000-6000 miles or once in every six months whichever is earlier.

Make sure to check tire pressure regularly as under-inflated and over inflated tires wear faster than properly

inflated tires.

Over-inflated tires can cause deterioration to steering and suspension components.

It is recommended to go for wheel alignment check once in 2yrs to prevent poor handling and suspension wear and

tear.

Smooth driving :-

Avoid Full-throttle or hard breaking drive options that can damage the struts , the suspension components, wheel bearings and rims.

inside it, so sometimes take it to long trips to avoid engine problem.
