There are a lot of drivers out there who really treasure their “travelling partners”. They take care of every little detail of their cars, even just a slightest broken sign.

No matter how many signs the cars show to have them checked out, they keep ignoring like it’s not their business. There are 6 ways for you to consider whether you are killing your cars.

There are six easy ways to kill a car internally

1. Ignore the “check engine” light

If you want your car to die quickly, please keep doing this. Because when your car’s engine can’t take it anymore, that’s when your car dies. This signal often appears when the air filter is dirty. Actually, the cost for solving this problem is very affordable. However, if you keep on driving your car without having it checked, your car will not only operate with bad oxygen, but it also affects the fuel economy. And if this happens for too long, the engine will definitely break down. Furthermore, the repairing cost is not just that anymore. You have to replace the whole engine with the price of 72,890 rupees or even more.

We all know that if oil is a very essential component for your car to operate properly. And every technician says that oil-changing neglect is one of the easiest ways to send your car to the mechanical graveyard. You know, when a car has to run with old, dirty oil for an extended period, its parts have a high chance of breaking down and it will stop normally functioning.

So, please pay close attention to the oil and fluids, you should remember or write down the time of your last oil changing to ensure you can accurately keep track with the schedule for oil maintenance.

3. Pay attention to your tire pressure

This is the most visible sign. You can easily tell if a tire inflated or deflated. And you know an under-inflated tire not only affects the wheel, but it can also harm your car negatively. Why?

You have to prove the world that you’re a cool outlaw. However, in fact, everyone will look at you like a crazy man. By doing this, you not only put yourself in danger, but also send your car straight to the graveyard. Be a smart driver! You need to focus on things, such as speed limit, traffic light, and so on. And you also need to avoid driving aggressively, try to decrease the quick starts or stops, and never carry so much unnecessary stuff.
