Millers Oils Top Tips to Make a Car Last Longer

A car is an everyday necessity for most people but can also be a burden on

your purse strings, especially if you don¹t give it the care and attention

it deserves, leading to expensive maintenance and repair bills.

Martyn Mann, technical director at leading oils and fuel treatment

manufacturer, Millers Oils, offers some top tips on how you can care for

your car to give it a longer life and avoid those costly repairs.

1. Every car model has different maintenance requirements so make sure you

familiarise yourself with the manual of your car and follow the

instructions. 

2. Get regular check-ups with a garage that you trust. This will allow you

to address any minor problems early and ensure that they are dealt with

quickly to avoid further damage.

3. Check and top up your oil regularly, making sure that you not only use

good high quality engine oil, but also the correct oil for your car. A

higher performance oil will not only help to improve your fuel economy and

reduce emissions, but will prolong the life of your engine, and thereby

reduce maintenance costs.

4. Maintain you car¹s cooling system and check the coolant level is correct.

A cooling system failure can result in your engine failing leading to

expensive repair bills.

5. Use a high performance fuel treatment such as Millers Oils ECOMAX ­

Petrol or Diesel. This will not only enhance your engine performance,

increasing power and MPG but will also provide your engine with cleaner

injectors leading to reduced emissions.

6. Drive gently! Adjusting your driving style to minimize the wear and tear

on your car will not only help to give your car a longer life span but will

save money on replacement parts.

7. Wash your car regularly. Road salt, dirt and pollution can all lead to

costly body work of your car. Without regular cleaning, rust can form on the

bottom of your doors within four years, which can lead to rust-related

repairs being needed.
