How do I extend the life of my Ford Transit Custom engine?

I have a Ford Transit Custom van and I want to make sure my engine lasts as long as possible. What kind of maintenance and driving habits should I follow to keep my engine in good shape?

Regular oil changes and using high-quality oil is crucial for extending the life of your engine. Also, avoid aggressive driving and keep up with general maintenance tasks like replacing air filters and spark plugs.

Another important factor is to allow the engine to properly warm up before driving off. This helps to circulate the oil evenly and protects against wear and tear. Also, staying within recommended load and towing capacities can help prevent strain on the engine.

One tip to remember is to avoid idling for extended periods of time as this can cause unnecessary wear on the engine components. And if you notice any unusual noises or performance issues, get them checked out by a mechanic right away.
