According to statistics, most cars reach the end of their life cycle without being involved in an accident.

And they are often retired when the cost of repairs exceeds their value.

But the cycle of their use can be delayed by simply taking small steps.

However, the opposite can also happen if you do bad things - even through which you can "kill your car".

In this regard, among the bad actions are driving the car while the oil warning light is on on the dashboard, allowing rust to spread, putting gasoline in a diesel car and vice versa, ignoring maintenance deadlines, as well as ignoring of leaks.

Apart from these, leaving a car unused for a long time, overloading it, using the wrong oil as well as putting only water in the cooling system (must also be filled with antifreeze) are no less important. .

Also, actions that can severely damage a vehicle include leaving windows open during a rainstorm, driving while the engine is overheated, driving through deep water, excessive modifications, and installing loose parts.
