Since the vehicle, for a fact, will not stay new there are several things the owner of the car can do to ensure that the car is maintained in a pristine looking manner. Some of the things the user is required to do are difficult while others are relatively easy.

The best place for a user to start with in the maintenance process is by reading the user manual or owners’ manual. Inside the manual, there is the manufacturers’ schedule of recommended maintenance process. This schedule is based on ‘normal’ driving, but the way the roads are and the kinds of drivers there are there is no such thing as normal driving. This manual should be used as a starting point for the planned schedule and should not be the end of it. To be able to have a good and well maintained vehicle, the owner should first of all start with the engine. The engine is the heart of the vehicle and it is the driving factor in the car. If something goes wrong in the engine, the repairs can be very costly as the engine entails a lot of maintenance. However, with the kind of technological advances in the vehicle industry, the growth in use of electronic controls is widespread; additionally major maintenance processes have been eliminated. With no more condensers or points for replacements, tune-ups are not needed as often as was the case previously. This is also because components in the car have also changed for instance; there are no more carburetors to be adjusted.

To make the vehicle last longer in regards to the accumulation of miles to the engine is have regular filter changes and oil replacements. Many vehicle manufacturers recommend filter and oil changes after every six months or 7,500 miles under conditions that are ‘normal’. It is better to give the interval a 3 month period or a distance of 3,000 miles. If the owner follows this routine from the first day, the inside of the engine will remain clean and there will not be any sludge build up, which can consequently damage the car. The owner should also be gentle and patient when the car reaches the break-in period, which is typically the first 1,000 mile or 1,600 kilometers. At this point, it is important to keep the speed under 55 mph or 88 KPH or the ideal speed that is recommended by the manufacturer.
