How do I maintain my Ford Kuga's engine for optimal performance?

I recently purchased a Ford Kuga and I want to make sure I am taking good care of its engine. What are some steps I can take to maintain the engine for optimal performance? Any recommended products or tips?

Hi Hannah, congratulations on your new Ford Kuga! The first step to maintaining the engine is to regularly check and change the oil according to your vehicle's manual. You can also use a fuel system cleaner every few months to keep the engine running smoothly. Don't forget to replace the air filter and spark plugs as needed too.

As for products, I highly recommend investing in a good quality synthetic oil and using a fuel additive like Seafoam or Techron for added protection. Also, make sure to keep up with your scheduled maintenance appointments at the dealership.

Hey Hannah, I suggest warming up your engine before driving especially in colder weather and avoiding harsh driving habits like hard braking and accelerating. Also, keep an eye on the coolant levels and make sure it's topped up if needed.
