When a car has driven 2 lakh kilometers, its engine is no longer as new as before. At this time, many parts of the engine have worn out and if proper care is not taken, the car can get damaged quickly, but the good thing is that if you maintain it properly, you can easily extend the life of your car to 3 lakh kilometers or more. For this, it is important that you get the service done on time and keep some special things in mind.
Change engine oil and filter on time
For the long life of the engine, it is most important to change the engine oil at the right time. After 2 lakh km, the engine wears more, hence clean and good oil becomes very important. It is better to change engine oil every 5,000 to 7,000 km. Also, the oil filter should also be changed so that dirt does not get into the engine. If you use good quality oil, the engine runs smooth and does not spoil quickly.
Take special care of the cooling system
It is very important to keep the engine cool, especially when the vehicle has been driven a lot. Check the radiator, coolant and pipes regularly. If the coolant is old, replace it immediately. Overheating is the biggest threat to the engine and can cause engine damage quickly. Therefore do not ignore the cooling system.
Spark Plug and Injector Cleaning
In old vehicles, spark plugs and fuel injectors become dirty. Due to this the performance of the engine reduces and the mileage also falls. It is necessary to get them cleaned or replaced from time to time. Due to this, engine power is maintained and the vehicle runs smoothly.
Change your driving style
If you want your car to last longer, you will also have to pay attention to your driving style. Avoid sharp acceleration, sudden braking and excessive speed. Driving slowly and comfortably puts less pressure on the engine and increases its life.
Don’t ignore small problems
If there is any strange noise coming from the engine or the vehicle is not picking up properly, do not ignore it. Major problems can be avoided by getting small problems repaired on time.
