Protection for High Mileage Cars

Many people have a car with high mileage (more than 12, 000 miles). And whether it's nostalgia, affection for the vehicle, or financial reasons, they don't buy a new car. Whatever the case may be, it must be maintained so that it reaches these amounts of miles and have a decent amount of life usage.

These are the following elements to keep an eye on:

Fix Faults Immediately

Don't let time pass, a car breakdown can result in a chain reaction, especially if it involves mechanical elements and these will never be detected without constant inspections.

Use Quality Spare Parts

Otherwise, it will be like trying to repair the vehile with a clothing patch, it will only work for a brief moment and produce breakdowns in the future when least expected.

Commit to the Car's Upkeep

Within the periods specified by the user manual, perform the oil changes, brake checks, and everything related to the operation of the car, preferably do it with the guidance of an expert unless you are trained to do so.

Proceed with Caution with Oils and Fluids Designed for Vehicles with High Mileage

The more you take care of your car, the more miles it will reach. Once it has finally reached 12 thousand miles, the maintenance of the car should be a little different; meaning the fluids that you add to the engine and the cooling system are the ones that must change, and be designed to provide a higher level of protection focused on reducing friction, and add these benefits:
  • Returns lost engine power
  • Repair leaks
  • Conditions dry engine gaskets and seals
  • Removes accumulated deposits that obstruct the passage of oil inside the engine
  • Excellent wear protection
By using a lubricating oil for cars with more than 12, 000 miles, you provide additional protection to your engine, and avoid more wear than necessary, by reducing the coefficient of friction. A car can last for many years, as long as you maintain it properly, there are examples of old cars with extremely high mileage and still work perfectly, at least when it comes to their engine and transmission, and cooling systems.

Don't Neglect the Resale Value

When the car's engine is in good condition and the car has been properly taken care of, its resale value increases and this is noticeable on any visual inspection. If you are going to buy a car that hasn't received proper care, you will notice it in the radiator bridges, where grease accumulates. If the cars are washed constantly, the lower radiator bridge will be dirty, but not totally filled with grease, so it will be very obvious and you will easily see if there is a lack of care.

Keep the Engine Clean

Without a doubt, simplifying car maintenance is one of the main reasons why you should clean the engine. This way you'll notice if there are leaks in any of the gaskets or in the valves and in case they are, fix the problem immediately. The hoses of the cooling system get stuck by dirt and grease and if they are clean, they won't run that risk and will last longer in good condition, without you spending money to fix them.

To Wash the Engine:

Spraying an engine cleaner will help you, without the need to go to a car wash where they have a pressured washer. This will keep your engine clean and grease with minimal effort and without unnecessary expense.

Some Benefits of Using an Aerosol Engine Cleaner

  • It doesn't affect the electrical components of the motor.
  • Eliminates accumulated grease in the hoses.
  • Leaves a protective antistatic dust repellent layer.
  • It doesn't harm rubber or plastic parts.
  • Leaves the engine looking clean and shiny.
