1. Don’t ignore the “Check Engine Light”.
2. Don’t ignore other dashboard lights and gauges-An overheated engine or one that runs low on motor oil can be seriously damaged.
3. When it’s below 40 degrees out - Don’t start your car and immediately place it in gear and take off. You have to give the engine, the transmission, and the power steering oil pumps at least a couple of minutes to circulate oil to pressurize their systems and provide adequate lubrication to moving parts.
4. Don’t make “Jack Rabbit” starts and stops. They will cause excessive wear to engines, transmissions, drive shafts and axles, along with brakes and tires.
5. Don’t rock your car in sand, mud, or snow.
6. Don’t let anyone tow your vehicle with the drive wheels on the ground.
7. Don’t forget to check tire pressure and fluid levels regularly.
8. Don’t self install electrical devices such as radios or alarm systems.
9. Don’t buy and add over the counter additives without the advice of a qualified technician.
