Automobile maintenance and inspection are very important and must be done regularly, especially for vehicles that run on gasoline engines, since they comprise a variety of important components that improve the engine's performance by improving its power and efficiency, and if you disregard the periodic engine inspection; your car may experience catastrophic damage and serious problems!
To avert that; we’ve put a list of the top maintenance tips that will prolong your car’s life & help your engine run at the best efficiency & performance levels.
Engine Oil
The gasoline engine oil is the first component that needs to be checked and ensured of its safety and quality, as it works to reduce friction among the engine's internal parts, preventing wear and engine overheating, Thus; prolonging engine life and efficiency.
Therefore, you must check the quality and efficiency of the gasoline engine at regular intervals, manually or through internal electronic screens that show the engine oil level and condition.
Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid or oil is as important as engine oil; Both works to reduce the friction force among the internal parts and thus reduce wear among them, as well as the function of cooling the heating generated among these parts, but it differs in that it needs its type of fluid.
if the transmission is manual, it does not need to be checked and changed periodically except by a technician or a car mechanic. As for the automatic one, you will find that the transmission fluid often appears red in color, to simplify the identification of impurities. and it’s usually placed either behind the engine or on one side of it. It’s advised to change it from every once in a while, at a certain time or a specific distance, depending on what the car owner's manual suggests.
Engine Coolant
The antifreeze or the engine coolant transfers heat from the engine block, through the radiator to the air, and prevents freezing at low temperatures, in addition to protecting the engine and antifreeze or the coolant system from rust and corrosion. Hence, the radiator tank's coolant level needs to be full at all times for the radiator to function properly. This means that it needs to be regularly checked every week.
Power Steering Fluid
A hydraulic steering booster is used in the car's steering systems, so it is important to continuously track and verify the amount of steering fluid or oil to maintain smooth internal system performance levels.
Brake fluid
One of the most essential safety features in a vehicle is brake fluid. Because it prevents rust in the brake system and avoids the brakes from freezing in the event of low temperatures, it must be checked frequently, and the level of brake fluid should be checked occasionally, to ensure the safety of the driver and other passengers inside the vehicle.
Engine Air Filter
As for the engine air filter, it performs an excellent function of cleaning the air and introducing it to the engine, so not considering cleaning and checking the filter for a while will prevent the flow of clean air and consequently cause many malfunctions. Therefore, the air filter needs to be checked weekly and cleaned from impurities, either manually or by an auto technician.
Gasoline Fuel Filter
What about a fuel or gasoline filter? One of the most essential elements of the engine is the gasoline filter, so it should be checked at least once every month since it assists in delivering clean gasoline to the engine pipes, protects fuel injection components from corrosion and other harm, and may become clogged with contaminants from the gasoline tank.
At last, we've listed the ultimate engine care tips that should be taken into consideration for routinely maintaining the car's functionality and the efficiency of its gasoline engine.
