A car is the second most valuable investment next to homes. Its purchase and maintenance cost can be quite overwhelming, that’s why it’s important to be knowledgeable and innovative in making the car efficient and in good condition over the long haul.
3M Car Care offers tips to make your car look and run smoothly for as long as possible:
1. During the break-in period (the first 1,600 km), keep your speed under 88 kph or to the speed recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Do not race your car’s engine during start-up as it will wear out your engine; accelerate slowly when you drive. Shift to neutral at red lights.
3. Keep an auto log where you can record your gas fill-ups and mileage. If you notice your gas mileage changing for the worse, have your car checked. It may be an early warning sign that something is wrong with it.
