The nice thing about the engine of a car is how easy it is to work with. You don’t generally have much going wrong with it. It’s a piece that’s designed to propel your vehicle across hundreds of thousands of miles of travel. They’re made to last.
Provided, of course, that you take good care of them.
And the thing is, it really isn’t that hard. The engine isn’t hard to diagnose. If it’s working well, you’ll get to where you need to go. The preventative maintenance is relatively easy too - make sure you get your oil changed when the specialists tell you to. If the check oil light comes on, open the hood of your car, and use the dipstick to see if the level’s where it needs to be.
Now, if your check engine light comes on, you may have a problem. That light comes on if you have a problem getting fuel to the tank, or if it’s something serious. It can be anything from a loose gas cap - which is easy - to something worse or more expensive.
The best thing you can do is take it to a mechanic to have it checked.
Yeah, but the fixes on those things can be expensive. If it's the catalytic converter, you might as well kiss your car goodbye.
