| Engines that are driven properly and cared for can last thousands and thousands of miles. |
| |
|
|
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. |

| Sensors |
| Sensors serve a variety of functions for the engine, transmission and other critical systems. |
| |
 |
|
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 Lee Myles Transmissions &AutoCare Centers can help you pinpoint the cause of the malfunction triggering the light. |

| /Spark Plugs |
| The ignition system typically includes spark plugs, ignition wires, the distributor and several other components. |
| |
|
|
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 Lee Myles Transmissions &AutoCare Centers can help you pinpoint the cause of the malfunction triggering the light. |

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