Oil Levels
Check the engine's oil level each time a tank of fuel is purchased, or once a month. Regular oil changes can reduce engine wear and make the vehicle run cooler and last longer.
If the oil is too high or too low, it can cause trouble for your engine. To check the oil, park on level ground and wait until the engine has cooled down after driving, then locate the dipstick. Pull it out and wipe it clean, then push it all the way back in until the top of it is seated properly in the dip tube again. Wait a moment then pull it out again. Check the level of the oil. If it's between the high and low marks, you're fine.

When to say goodbye
Most cars can and will run for decades, but there are certain circumstances when it’s time to let go. If your car is involved in a severe accident that bends the frame or body structure, it might be difficult to repair the car to like-new condition
