how to make an engine last longer?

Question

what can i do to make a car with decently high miles to last as long as possible except for preventtive maintainence

Answer 1

Change oil and filters often...every 3000 miles. 90 percent of engine wear occurs in the first few seconds after startup...some companies even make oil "accumulators" that pressurize the oiling system at all times...mostly for racing purposes but when installed on regular cars can make the
engine last for hundreds of thousands miles. Regular maintenance and filter changes can greatly extend the life of a car.

Answer 2

What kind of car is this??? Have your cooling system flushed, and use foreign car coolant (like Mercedes Benz) . Have your brake fluid changed every 2 years. Have your engine de-sludged and use only synthetic oil. Most engines, depending on the manufacturer, will last longest this way.. Also, keep your engine bay clean, especially the space between the radiator and the A/C condenser. Replace your cooling fan switch every two years to prevent over-heating. To get maximum efficiency and best performance, change plugs with Bosch Platinum or Iridium plugs. Use only tier one approved fuels (not cheap gas) Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

use Lucas Oil stabilizer never let it overheat / if it does nerver shut it down till youve brought the temp back down, if the RED oil light comes on Immediately turn the key off and have car transported to a repair facility. That red light is like Cardiac arrest and should never ever ever be second guessed or taken lightly. and lastly just dont drive it like you stole it

Answer 4

Don't switch to synthetic oil, the seals are conditioned for real stuff and synthetic will leak. Other than that, flush the radiator, give it a tune up, or even better switch to a diesel.
