· Get it serviced regularly-Change the oil at specific mileage intervals recommended for your car.

· Follow the manufacturer's service schedule-Depending on your car, this may include checking the coolant, power steering and brake fluid levels and rotating the tires.

· Find and fix open recalls-If your car has been recalled, it probably has a problem that can affect performance and safety.
