How to extend your car’s life

Driving in harsh conditions — cold winters, heat, bad roads, poor fuel — can wear your car quickly. But following these 5 simple steps can help your vehicle last longer, reports SpeedMe.ru.

1) Wash the car regularly. In winter, salt and dirt eat into the paint. Do anti-rust treatment every 2 years.

2) Change oil and filters on time. Every 8–10k km. Use low-viscosity oil in winter. Replace air and fuel filters on schedule.

3) Warm up the engine properly. No high revs right after start. Let turbo engines idle for a few minutes after driving.

4) Replace oil in transmission and differentials. Every 50–60k km.

5) Check the battery before winter. Avoid deep discharges. Don't overload the system. Run the AC once a month even in winter. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
