Regularly check and change the oil and filters according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. This will help prevent sludge buildup and premature engine wear.

Be mindful of your driving habits and avoid excessive idling or frequent stop-and-go traffic. This can put unnecessary strain on the engine and lead to overheating or other issues.

Consider installing an oil catch can to prevent oil vapor build-up in the intake system. This can help prevent carbon deposits and valve gunk which can cause reduced performance and potential engine damage.
