Here are the best tips for maintaining car engine:

1. Engine oil is the most element of a car engine that plays a vital role in car performance. It should be changed periodically or after every 3,000 to 6,000 miles. Also check the oil level and refill the tank if the level is low.

2. Check the condition of the air filter. If you find any kind of dirt or crack in the air filter, immediately replace it or else it would hamper the functioning of the car engine.

3. Whenever you decide to replace engine parts, ensure that you use original components. Faulty and fake engine components may damage the engine completely if they don't fit in well or are not reliable.

4. Use clean fuel for your car. Adding a fuel stabilizer to the engine can also be helpful for preventing gas from going stale.

5. Inspect the condition of the spark plug and if required change them. Damaged or ineffective spark plugs hamper the performance of the car engine and also prevents costly engine repairs.

6. If in case you find any kind of strange noises from the engine, get it checked from the mechanic and make sure that the necessary repair is done.

 

coolant? wires?

 

i think all that is pretty basic.

 

What about Seafoam!?

 

Unless you are keeping your car not running for months at a time, fuel stabilizer is not needed.

Engine oil change interval is usually very conservative based on the manufacture's recommendation. Unless you hear about recalls or sludge complains, no need to go more frequent than that.

It is more important to get gas from a high volume stations than a famous brand. If there is ever a crack in the underground tanks, the chances of getting water into the fuel is less from a high volume station.
