Engines need maintenance.
Well, lets compare a normal everyday grocery getter like Dodge Caravan with the 2.7L engine to a Ford F-450 Super Duty pickup truck with the big V-10 gasoline engine that is used as a work truck to haul a bunch of heavy equipment around, or a New york Taxi.
By following the factory maintenance guide in the owners manual, you are in the best position of all to exact the maximum life out of your cars engine, and the rest of the car for that matter. Routine maintenance on the supporting cast is of paramount importance since the support systems can fail and cause undue heartache. My theory is that by making routine maintenance important, less emergencies will occur.
Keeping the entire systems that operate your car healthy is the key, the whole system has to be in good operating order. One system fails, like a bad radiator where an overheating problem occurs, it can damage an engine or transmission real fast. Most people don’t take care of the cooling system until your car overheats and breaks down. Would it be easier to have the radiator and cooling system itself maintained on time and avoid overheating, breaking down and possibly needing a replacement engine? Yes, of course.
Hopefully you understand now that solid routine maintenance is the secret to New York taxi cab engine life. Two last things to mention, and I have said this many times, use synthetic engine oil. Do not use conventional engine oils. They are becoming outdated, offer much less service life and have less lubrication properties than synthetic lubricants.
