The Engine is just like our body and it demands good care in order for it to run smoothly.
It is important to keep it fit.
Here are tips that'll help you get the best out of your car
#1. Change engine oil at regular intervals
Oil grade determines change intervals.
#2. Always check coolant level
As the engine runs it generates alot of heat which is dissipated through the cooling system .
#3. Check the air filter
Constricted airflow cause incomplete combustion thus less fuel economy.
#4. Fluid leakage
Check engine oil, coolant or transmission fluid leaks and have them fixed.
#5. Dont run on low fuel
You don't want the risk of your car stalling. Fuel also helps in cooling the electric pump.
#6. Check your running belts
If you notice cracks or a squeal (sound) when you start your engine, it's time to have your belt checked
#7. Check engine light
Never ignore the check engine light. You will never know how serious it is until you get it checked.
#8. Replace spark plugs
Regular maintenance due to accumulated soot over time will ensure a perfect combustion.
#9. Dont over accelerate
Never accelerate beyond the red line at the rev counter. Engines are designed to perform better at lower revs thus better fuel economy.
#10. Stay safe.
..let's keep on the fast lane.

3 Ways to Keep Your Manual Transmission Working.

1. Completely lift your foot off of the clutch pedal with each gear shift. In other words, don’t ride the clutch. It’s a bad habit to get into when you’re driving and it puts undue strain on the clutch and the gearbox.

2. Don’t downshift when you need to slow down. Contrary to popular belief, downshifting when you’re slowing your vehicle down or coming to a complete stop is not good for your engine or your manual gearbox. In fact, downshifting puts more wear and tear on your transmission. Stick to using your brakes to slow down and stop.

3. Have your transmission inspected annually. Having a certified transmission repair specialist conduct a diagnostic check of your transmission for leaks and other abnormalities at least once a year, as well as checking the transmission fluid’s level, colour, and smell periodically is smart preventative maintenance.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR CAR'S ENGINE

STEP 1
Change engine oil
Regular oil change is easily one of the most important things you can do for your car's engine. The engine oil helps keep vital parts well lubricated and ensure the engine doesn't overheat. Please check your car's owner’s manual to see the oil change intervals recommended by the carmaker.

STEP 2
Maintain cooling system
Make sure that the car's cooling system is working properly since it helps keep the engine cool. In case of a faulty cooling system, there's a risk the engine could overheat and sustain major damage. Check the car's coolant levels from time to time, especially during summers.

STEP 3
Change air filter
The air filter keeps particles from getting into the engine and causing damage. It also helps channel the fresh air the engine needs in order to continue performing as expected. Keeping the air filter clean will keep those dust particles away from your engine.

STEP 4
Never ignore the check engine light
If your car's check engine light comes on, be sure to have it looked at right away. If you neglect it for too long, you risk causing massive, and expensive, damage to the engine. Another thing -- it is important to understand the meaning of other warning lights in the instrument panel. For that, you should take the time to go through the car's owner’s manual.
