Things to avoid costly engine repairs

1) Oil replacement
Engine oil serves as a lubricant between moving parts inside the engine after a long time or distance traveled then it starts to get too dirty. You should follow manufacturer specifications and replace your oil for smooth running.
2) Maintain the proper cooling system
Don't let your engine reach high temperatures. Make sure proper conditions of the engine cooling systems the radiator, hoses, coolant, and other associated parts. Check the owners manual for changing the coolant system because it changes according to car age.
3) Change your timing belt
It's essential to replace your timing belt at the mileage intervals of the vehicle manufacturer recommends. Every manufacturer is different, but typically, it needs to be replaced every 60,000-1,00,000 miles. The recommended interval for your specific vehicle can be found in your car owners manual.
Because the timing belt is made of rubber, it will wear down over time and eventually break then the engine will stop running.
4) Change the air filter
If you don't change your air filter regularly then you are choking off its oxygen supply and that is half of the fuel-air mixture that allows your engine to function properly.
In most engines, changing an air filter is the fastest and easiest thing you can do. It will take you 10 minutes. Check your owners manual for changing.
5) Fix any leaks fastly
If you notice a few drops of automotive fluids from coolant to oil or transmission fluid on the drive way or the floor of the garage, don't ignore it. It gives you huge trouble. Fix any leaks as soon as possible to avoid danger.
6) Check your battery and spark plugs
Without a spark, you don't get an explosion, and without that explosion, you don't move forward. It's an easy job, though you might need a specialized socket to remove the spark plugs. Batteries can get drained from MP3 players, Bluetooth devices, cell phone chargers and many more...
7) Change fuel filters
