Maintaining an engine involves a comprehensive approach of regular maintenance and thoughtful driving habits. These include following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule for oil changes, fluid top-offs, and filter replacements. Additionally, driving smoothly and avoiding abrupt maneuvers can reduce wear and tear on the engine.
Proper engine care can extend the life of the vehicle, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce costly repairs. One significant historical development in engine care was the invention of the internal combustion engine in the 19th century, which revolutionized transportation and laid the foundation for modern automotive technology.
