Regular oil check and change is required and can be considered as one  of the most important steps to maintain your car. Every auto owner  never keeps track of when his or her engine needs an oil change. Old oil  or insufficient oil in your engine will heat up the engine quickly and  might lead to damage and other problems in your vehicle. To fix these  problems you will have to pay quite a lot. To keep your automobile  running efficiently and engine well maintained regular oil change is  essential.
Good Tyres
Just changing your oil regularly is  not sufficient. Along with the oil you should ensure that you rotate  your car tyres regularly. Tyre rotation helps to balance your tyres and  reduces the possibility of uneven wearing of the treads. Normally, when  you have uneven treads your car might get pulled or leaned on one side  and this can be dangerous. Your car runs on the road with the help of  tyres and worn out tyres or tyres which are not well maintained can be a  serious threat to the driver and passengers in the car.
Checking  air regularly and filling air in your tyre is another important task,  which is often neglected by car owners. The pressure in the tyre goes  down over a period of time, but due to some leak it might go down even  sooner. Air in your tyre should be filled in correct proportion. If your  tyre has insufficient air, the tyre will wear out faster. In the case  of less air, the tyre touches the road and the rim of your car, which  will spoil the treads of your tyre. Over filling your tyre without using  a gauge might cause your tyre to burst and this can be very dangerous.
Tuning up your motor
Tuning  your auto on a regular basis will save you from a sudden shock and  expense if costly parts in your car fail. Regular check-up of your car  will keep you updated on the performance of your car and car parts.
One  more important aspect which you should never avoid is your car  insurance. Adequate insurance for your car is essential as you never  know when your car is damaged due to an accident. Protecting your-self,  others and your car is important and thus, insurance of life and your  car is necessary.
