Whether you're a new or an experienced driver, taking good care of your car engine is super important. Your car's engine is like its heart, pumping life into your beloved ride. To ensure it keeps running smoothly for years, here are some simple and easy-to-follow tips to preserve your car engine.
Your car's engine can get pretty hot under the hood, and that's where coolant comes to the rescue! Coolant, also known as antifreeze, regulates the engine's temperature, preventing overheating. Check your coolant levels regularly and top them up if needed. Remember to use the proper coolant mixture as recommended by your car manufacturer.
Just like you need fresh air, your car's engine needs it too! The air filter prevents dirt, dust, and debris from entering the engine, protecting it from potential harm. Check and clean your air filter regularly, and replace it when it gets dirty. Your engine will thank you for the fresh breath!
Spark plugs may be tiny, but they significantly affect your engine's performance. They ignite the fuel-air mixture, creating those fiery explosions that power your car. Over time, spark plugs wear out, leading to poor fuel efficiency and rough engine starts. Check your spark plugs as your car's manual recommends and replace them when needed.
Your car is pretty good at telling you when something's not right. If you hear strange noises from the engine, like knocking or sputtering, don't ignore them. These could be signs of trouble, and getting them checked by a professional mechanic can prevent bigger problems down the road.
Just like you visit the doctor for regular check-ups, your car needs them too! Take your vehicle for routine maintenance at a reputable service center. They'll inspect your engine and other vital parts, ensuring everything is in top shape.
Taking care of your car engine doesn't have to be complicated. Following these straightforward tips can keep your engine humming happily for years. Remember, a little effort today can save you big bucks on repairs in the future. Happy driving and happy engine!
As part of the Future Combat Air System (FCAS), MTU will develop, manufacture and support the New Generation Fighter Engine (NGFE) together with Safran Aircraft Engines and ITP Aero. MTU is responsible for its flagship products, the high-pressure compressor and low-pressure compressor and is the lead for all maintenance and service activities.
Application: New Generation Fighter
Planned completion of fighter: 2040s
This turboshaft engine powers the Tiger support helicopter co-developed by France and Germany. In 2011, an uprated version of the engine (the MTR390-E) was developed that delivers 14 percent more power. MTU develops and manufactures the high-pressure turbine and combustor, among other things.

The IntelligentEngine vision, first introduced by Rolls-Royce at the Singapore Airshow earlier this year, describes a world where product and service have become so closely connected that they are inseparable. This vision drives activity across a range of fields, including robotics, with a particular focus on digital technologies.
The robotic technologies displayed today each represent an opportunity to improve the way engine maintenance is delivered, for example by speeding up inspection processes or by removing the need to take an engine off an aircraft in order to perform maintenance work. This has the potential to offer significant benefits for customers by reducing the cost of engine maintenance, increasing the availability of an engine and ensuring any maintenance required is completed as quickly as possible.
Dr James Kell, Rolls-Royce, On-Wing Technology Specialist, added: While some of these technologies, such as the SWARM robots, are still a long way from becoming an everyday reality, others, such as the remote boreblending robot, are already being tested and will begin to be introduced over the next few years. We have a great network of partners who support our work in this field and it is clear that this is an area with the potential to revolutionise how we think about engine maintenance.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles have enough power to cover 100% of my daily commute. Driving on electricity alone and not having to run the gasoline engine greatly appeals to me, but I also understand that the engine should be used from time-to-time to ensure its longevity.
The answers to these questions sufficiently explain how to keep a rarely used gasoline engine in working order, but the answers, except in the first question listed, are a few years old and with regard to regular cars.
Is it okay to leave a car outside in the winter without driving it for 1 month?
Is it okay to leave a car for 5 months without driving it?
How to maintain a sometimes-used vehicle?
How long does it take for gas to go bad?
(In summary, the answers say that the gas should have a stabilizer added if it will be sitting for more than 6 months, and that the engine should be run for at moderate amount of time every couple of weeks to burn off the condensation.)
What I'm wondering is, do these same principles apply to plug-in hybrids? In other words, is there a difference between maintaining an unused gasoline engine on a plug-in hybrid driven daily, and a standard vehicle not driven at all?
While it is true that, as a previous answer said, all the same systems exist and need to be maintained as in a pure gasoline car, it is also the case that in the Chevrolet Volt (first and second generation, 2012-2018), there are automatic functions to maintain the life of the engine and fuel.
Fuel Maintenance Mode: The car tracks the average age of the fuel in the tank and decides when it is too old. Then it will prompt you to either burn off the old fuel entirely or add new fuel which will mix in (or both).
Engine Maintenance Mode: The car tracks time since the engine has last run and will run the engine for about 15 minutes when it has been a while. You can temporarily defer this in case you know you are making a trip too short to finish maintenance.
There's no difference, the engine, fuel system, ignition system, etc. are all the same as any non-hybrid car. The only difference is that the engine is run on demand for charge rather than responding to throttle input. The advice doesn't change.
As mentioned above, I thought my 300 series may have an injector holder / cap issue. Looking into it further it looks like a common issue - I presume they call it the 7th injector as it appears on the engine after the DPF is used to process the fuel assisted combustion ?
Hi, same issue with my Landcruiser Wagon, 300 series (year 2022) - Vehicle has been back to Toyota Dealer for this issue and they have advised now that Toyota has advised there is no expected date of delivery of the parts to fix this (getting fixed under warranty).
Originally they told me not to drive my car any distances until it is replaced but at this stage they thought the parts would only be 1 week (issue when you live in Western Qld !!) now they have told me since they don't have any idea of delivery date it should be fine to drive distances - not confident in their change of information (felt a bit like a fob off). Does anybody have any idea if this will cause harm to my engine (sorry, I'm not mechanically minded at all)
