transmission fluid.

Oil change schedule :-

Oil lubricates the moving parts of vehicle but gradually the engine oil gets dirty and loses the lubrication quality.

If you don't change it in time, the contaminated engine oil will accelerate engine wear and tear more faster.

And the most important thing is to check the engine oil level as low oil level also can damage the engine from

inside.

Check fluid levels :-

The health of the automatic transmission, power steering, cooling system and braking system depends on the condition of fluid.

But in the course of time these fluids evaporate, leak and lose the lubrication quality, so you always need to check

and change or top off when needed.

Most of the good antifreeze protects the cooling system for 3 yrs but it varies if you use a cheap product.

Make you car rust proof :-

inflated tires.

tear.
