Step 1

Get your oil changed regularly. Don’t exceed the time to change your oil. Not getting your oil changed will cause your engine to lose valuable lubrication and result in engine problems and your vehicle breaking down. Now that motor oils have increased in quality over the years, getting an oil change every 5,000 miles instead of every 3,000 miles should be sufficient.

Step 2

Do not drive “bald” tires. Tires need to be replaced after heavy use. Tires lose threading over time due to wear and tear. If you drive on “bald” tires this can cause you to hydroplane and can even cause you to wear out your rotors which can be quite pricey to replace, more so than tires. You can extend tire life by rotating them every 6 months or, on usage. Depending on your vehicle you should change out the tires on your vehicle when all the threading is almost depleted. Don’t wait till they are “bald”.

Step 3

Drive responsibly. Street-racing won’t just wear out your tires in a hurry, it will also take quite an expensive toll on your brake pads and rotors. Also, not being careful and hitting curbs with your car can easily throw off your alignment. Slamming the brakes last minute will wear you brake pads down, so be sure to keep a safe distance and brake easily.

Step 4

Be sure to Check your brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, and power steering fluids regularly. Don’t wait to get them checked until you change your oil. Replace them yourself if you need to. Its a simple task, check your user manual if you are not sure how this is done.

Step 5

Keep a safe distance from other vehicles. A Small rock thrown from the back seat of a tractor trailer at a million miles an hour can crack your windshield. Don’t ride the draft. If you hear a rock hit your but don’t see a crack, get it checked out, there could be a small crack that will slowly make its way all over the windshield.

Also riding behind cars will get you in an accident sooner or later. It might not happen today or tomorrow, but it is inevitable if you trail. Its too risky to take the chance. Car accidents are the main factor in deterioration of a cars life.

Step 6

Check your car’s maintenance manual for how often the vehicle needs to be tuned up and follow that guide to the T. Regular tune ups keep a car healthy and can prevent it from breaking down and extend its driving life.
