To avoid major engine trouble, it’s important to take some basic precautions. However, if you do notice any signs of an engine issue, you’ll want to get to the shop ASAP so you can hopefully nip the problem in the bud. If you ignore the symptom, then it could worsen and soon become more expensive to fix. At Willie Automotive & Towing Service, our local mechanics are highly experienced with engine diagnostics and repair in the greater Lakeland, FL area. Here are some basic tips for preventing serious engine trouble.
When the check engine light comes on, it doesn’t automatically mean that total engine failure is near. But it’s still smart to quickly get to the shop for diagnostics so that any emerging issues can be identified and addressed as early as possible.
By always keeping up with your car’s oil change schedule, you’ll help to ensure that your engine’s moving parts remain sufficiently lubricated. This is critical to preventing metal-on-metal contact from causing major damage. And when you’re driving with the proper amount of unpolluted oil, heat will more efficiently redistribute from your combustion chamber, which will help to keep your engine at a healthy temperature.
When you bring your car to the shop for 30/60/90k maintenance, an assortment of tasks may be completed, such as fluid and filter changes, as well as spark plug replacement. Such tasks will help to keep your engine healthy and your warranty valid.
Common symptoms of engine trouble that should be brought to the mechanic’s attention include knocking/tapping noises, discolored/excessive exhaust smoke, fluid leaks, power loss, and burning smells. Getting to the shop early will give you the best chance to address the issue before it becomes major.
