Maintenance: Engines |
| Engines that are driven properly and
cared for can last thousands and thousands of miles. |
| |
|
Maintenance and Care: |
 |
| Proper care
includes regular oil and filter changes,
checkups of engine performance, and periodic
cooling system maintenance. If you notice
that the engine is using oil, has problems
with oil pressure, the coolant temperature
has risen, or engine performance is not up
to par, have the problems looked into as
soon as possible. |

Maintenance: Engine Sensors
|
| Sensors serve a variety of functions for
the engine, transmission and other critical systems. |
| |
 |
|
Maintenance and Care: |
| While sensors do not
require maintenance, a sensor operating
outside its normal range for long enough
will often cause the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
indicator on the dashboard to light. If the
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT appears, have its cause
checked out as soon as you can. The trained
technicians at AAMCO Centers can help you
pinpoint the cause of the malfunction
triggering the light. |

Maintenance: Ignition/Spark Plugs |
| The ignition system typically includes
spark plugs, ignition wires, the distributor and several
other components. |
| |
|
Maintenance and Care: |
 |
Spark plugs
in today’s vehicles are typically replaced
anywhere between every 30,000 miles and
100,000 miles, depending on the vehicle and
type of spark plugs. Please refer to your
owner’s manual for factory recommended
maintenance intervals for your specific
vehicle.
|
| Trouble with the ignition
system is typically signified by an engine
that surges, runs rough, stalls or gets
abnormally poor gas mileage. Another
indication is the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
indicator on the dashboard lights. If the
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT illuminates, have its
cause checked out as soon as you can. The
trained technicians at AAMCO Centers can
help you pinpoint the cause of the
malfunction triggering the light. |

Maintenance: Valve Train |
| Your vehicle’s engine valves allow the
engine to “breathe”, pulling a mixture of air and fuel into
the cylinders and pushing out exhaust. |
