How do I maintain the longevity of my Ford Ranger's engine?

I've recently purchased a Ford Ranger and want to make sure the engine lasts for as long as possible. Are there any specific steps or tips I should follow to ensure the longevity of the engine?

Regular oil changes and maintenance checks are key to keeping your Ford Ranger's engine in good condition. Additionally, avoid overloading your truck and drive with caution to avoid putting extra strain on the engine.

Using high-quality fuel and air filters can also help prolong the life of your engine. Make sure to replace them regularly as recommended by your vehicle's manual.

In addition to regular maintenance, it's important to pay attention to any warning signs that may indicate an issue with your engine. Don't ignore strange noises, vibrations, or changes in performance and get them checked out by a professional mechanic.
