10 Tips to Care for Your Engine Thoroughly

Very necessary to keep in perfect condition.

The engine is the most important part of your vehicle, so make sure to have it in good operation and prolong the service life.

That is why this time you are 10 tips that will help care for and allow your vehicle is always available when needed.

1. Replace spark plugs and wires

The wires running from the distributor conduct electricity to the spark plugs, which generate a spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. If the cables are very old or very used your car will not start or it will cost you much.

When you change the spark plugs and wires allow electrical current to pass without problem. The point must change according to your user manual based on mileage.

2. Avoid accelerating and stopping.

Your engine was made to run, but it works better and tends to last longer when working steadily. Imagine yourself in a race where you are constantly running at all, full stop every five minutes. I get tired eventually to regain your speed and then stand for short periods. In your engine feels the same well finished slowly. Constant stops and starts are common in the city really damage your engine over time.

If possible, keep your speed constant speed and no other engine. You will notice better gas mileage and your engine will last longer. The more you stop and accelerate your engine work harder.

3. Replace the fuel filter

The fuel filter protects your engine from harmful deposits and particles that come in the fuel. This car part or debris traps particles that come in either gasoline or diesel.

A new filter will clean the fuel flow to the engine. Prevent build up or debris in the same form and work properly, because work will not cost you burn gasoline or diesel.

4. Tracks the dash warning lights

This may sound obvious but many times we ignore those little lights that appear on the board. If the light of the "check engine soon", battery, oil pressure, engine temperature and other lights, it is best to take your unit to your trusted mechanic to see the reason why. Perhaps the problem is not major, but if so you will avoid a major setback if you do the review.

5. Check engine belts

Depending on the type of engine is the number of bands used, they help move several vital engine parts. The function can vary from one car to another but some allow it to work the fan, the cooling system, alternator and air conditioning.

It requires knowing what each band, so if you need to do is look to be in good condition ie not worn, cracks or are about to break and cause heavy damage to your engine. Also if a band or hear some squealing patina is a sign that needs changing.

6. Refill your gas tank before it reaches the minimum

Gasoline has a certain amount of sediments, which settle to the bottom of the fuel tank. After a few months or years to reload several times fuel, wastes accumulate to form a really thick layer at the bottom of the tank. The fuel filter will help retain the particles. However if you drive your unit to the minimum fuel, you are sucking most of the accumulated sediment, the filter can not and will retain all the engine causing some internal damage. It is best to refill the tank when you get into a room and not less.


7 .- Check for leaks

You have to be an expert to notice that your car is leaking, either by smell or because it leaves stained the floor of your garage. The leaks that can occur in your unit are mainly oil or coolant.

The intense heat and pressure causes long engine hoses to fail. See if the hoses are old, have slots or are too worn out there is no escaping the coolant or other engine fluids. Also check the seals or pipe joints with metal or silicone, may also eventually run out and allow for leaks.

Make this review will help you avoid a big problem, as is the case of an oil leak, because if it ends up that the engine will stop working being damaged pistons, cylinders and other parts of the combustion chamber.

8. Keep the engine breathing

When you exercise, whether running, cycling or any activities that require breathe freely and air is not polluted. Like you, the engine also needs a constant flow of air to work without restriction and also clean. It is vital for the combustion process.

Who will ensure that the air flow and keep clean, air filter, it retains insects, debris, dirt and other things to avoid entering the engine. That is why we should change regularly, as they become saturated and do not allow constant air flow, which will make your engine work harder, consume more fuel and reduces life span.

9. Keep the cooling system working

An important aspect of the engine cooling system, which consists mainly of the radiator, thermostat, and coolant pump. The best way to prevent your engine from overheating is to take care that you have sufficient amount of coolant circulating through the engine.

The coolant circulates through the engine when the thermostat determines that the engine is warming up and cooling needs. The pump sends the coolant from the radiator to the engine block and then back to the radiator for cooling.

Therefore it is important that the coolant has to be at its optimum level, to review you must place the container of the same, its level should not fall below minimum nor above the maximum, as it could jump to motion of the car.

On the other hand if you find any other problems not related to the liquid, it is best to take him immediately to be revised to locate the problem and escalate further.

10. Change the oil regularly

Among the most important aspects to look after the engine is to change the oil regularly. This allows vital engine parts are kept well lubricated allowing not wear and overheating. Without it your engine can not work and if you change it very long periods, over time can produce permanent damage to your engine.

The regular period for changing the engine oil and may vary by the type of oil, either synthetic or mineral. In some cases it may be 5.000 to Km 8.000 to Km other routes among others. It is best seen in the user manual or with a specialist.

In addition to changing the oil, do not forget to also change the filter at the same time. This is very important as it traps and holds out all dirt, debris and trash that would circulate within the engine. With a new filter and oil your engine will run smoothly, plus give you a good answer. Readmore...
