How to Make Your Car Run Forever
The secret to the longevity of a car is the maintenance. The better that you maintain your vehicle the more likely it will be to live a long and healthy life. Though this goes without saying most people do not realize the importance of these five simple steps.
1) Change your oil regularly.

Most drivers exceed this number but it is important to note that these are the maximum recommended distances between oil changes. You should instead change your oil and oil filter much more often. Every 3000 kilometers is a good safe number to use. By the time the oil gets dark or black the engine is already dirty. By changing your oil more often you can keep the clear and golden hue of the oil which indicates a clean running engine. If you do nothing else to your car to help it have a long life then do this one thing and you will vastly increase the longevity of your car engine and its many integral components. Read more
