Most common damage is not enough fluids.
Change the oil at 3K intervals regardless of use.
Keep your car's other fluids at the right levels and change out the old rotten burnt stuff when its too old like most people ignore.
Engine oil
Engine coolant
Brake fluid
Steering fluid
Transmission fluid
Transmission filter
Differential oil
Your vehicle's user manual has a scheduled maintenance chart.

you can start by knowing how the engine sounds when its running normal so you can detect when something is wrong. Check and change oil reguarly. Get a manual on how to repair your car and read up. Just some small stuff...

My husband swears by changing oil and filters regularly and regular servicing. Sadly many to their cost ignore this advice.

oil every 3-5k miles, change fuel filter, oil filter, and regular check ups should do the trick. you will save yourself thousands! trust me

Thats your hubby's problem. Only thing I remember is to tell him when 3,000 miles has gone by so he can change my oil.
