I love a car and I would like to think that I have tried to take a good care of my beloved car. I came across an interesting article online about an essential maintenance for car's long-use and would like to share it here.
It is said that the best timing to exchange a car is from 7 to 9 years on average in the case of what you bought it as a brand new one. That's because some of their parts will be discontinued in the future and some related taxes will increase in Japan if you have had it for over 13 years. However, you generally can use it over 20 years depending on your maintenance. In other word, your poor-maintenance-conscious might deteriorate your beloved car quickly. So, the article said essential maintenances are as follows
1) The exchange of oils on a regular basis, such as an engine oil and an engine coolant water called "Long Life Coolant".
2) The exchange of consumables on a regular basis, such as tires, air elements, brake pads, batteries and so on.
3) The exchange of rubber boots such as suspension dust boots, dry shaft boots and so on.
4) The exchange of suspension related parts such as dampers, mounts arms and so on.
5) The exchange of brake related parts such as brake pads, disc rotors and so on.
Probably, I'm not going to have my beloved car over 20 years, but I think making a point of good maintenance is better safe than sorry. So, I'll follow the instruction above in the future.

I do love cars and I would like to think that I have tried to take a good care of my own beloved car. I came across an interesting article online about essential maintenance for a car's long-use and would like to share it here.
It is said that the best timing to exchange a car is from 7 to 9 years on average in the case that you bought it brand new. That's because some of its parts will be discontinued in the future and some related taxes will increase in Japan if you have had it for over 13 years. However, you can generally use it for over 20 years depending on your maintenance. In other words, poor maintenance might cause your beloved car to deteriorate more quickly. So, the article said essential maintenance is as follows:
1) Change the engine oil on a regular basis; this applies also to the engine coolant water (called "Long Life Coolant").
2) Change other consumables on a regular basis, such as tires, air elements, brake pads, batteries and so on.
3) Change the rubber boots such as suspension dust boots, dry shaft boots and so on.
4) Change suspension-related parts such as dampers, mounts arms and so on.
5) Change brake-related parts such as the brake pads, disc rotors and so on.
I'm probably not going to have my beloved car over 20 years, but I think making a point of good maintenance is a case of 'better safe than sorry'. So, I'll follow the instructions above in the future.

I love cars, and I like to think that I have taken good care of my beloved car. I came across an interesting article online about essential maintenance for a car’s long-term use and would like to share it here.
According to the article, the best time to replace a car is between 7 and 9 years on average if you bought it brand new. This is because some parts may be discontinued in the future, and in Japan, certain related taxes increase if you keep a car for over 13 years. However, with proper maintenance, a car can generally last over 20 years. In other words, poor maintenance habits can cause your beloved car to deteriorate quickly.
The article outlined essential maintenance steps as follows:
1. Regular oil changes, such as engine oil and engine coolant, also known as “Long Life Coolant.”
2. Regular replacement of consumable parts, such as tires, air filters, brake pads, and batteries.
3. Replacement of rubber boots, such as suspension dust boots and drive shaft boots.
4. Replacement of suspension-related parts, such as dampers, mounts, and arms.
5. Replacement of brake-related parts, such as brake pads and disc rotors.
I probably won’t keep my car for over 20 years, but I believe that prioritizing proper maintenance is better safe than sorry. So, I’ll make sure to follow these guidelines in the future.
1. “I love a car” → “I love cars”
• “I love a car” sounds unnatural. If you’re talking about cars in general, use “I love cars.” If referring to a specific car, say, “I love my car.”
2. “I would like to think that I have tried to take a good care” → “I like to think that I have taken good care”
• “Tried to take a good care” is awkward. “Taken good care” is the correct phrase.
3. “An essential maintenance” → “Essential maintenance”
• “Maintenance” is uncountable, so “an” is unnecessary.
4. “For car’s long-use” → “For a car’s long-term use”
• “Long-use” is incorrect; “long-term use” is the right phrase.
5. “The best timing to exchange a car” → “The best time to replace a car”
• “Timing” is usually used for events, and “exchange” is incorrect here. “Replace” is the appropriate word.
6. “In the case of what you bought it as a brand new one” → “If you bought it brand new”
• The original phrasing is unnatural; “if you bought it brand new” is more natural.
7. “Depending on your maintenance” → “With proper maintenance”
• “Depending on your maintenance” is awkward; “with proper maintenance” sounds more natural.
8. “In other word” → “In other words”
• The correct phrase is “In other words” (plural).
9. “Your poor-maintenance-conscious” → “Poor maintenance habits”
• “Poor-maintenance-conscious” is incorrect English. “Poor maintenance habits” is the correct way to express this idea.
10. “Essential maintenances are as follows” → “The article outlined essential maintenance steps as follows”
• “Maintenance” is uncountable, so “maintenances” is incorrect.
11. Rewriting the maintenance list for clarity and correctness
• “The exchange of oils on a regular basis” → “Regular oil changes”
• “Such as an engine oil and an engine coolant water” → “Such as engine oil and engine coolant”
• “Exchange of consumables” → “Regular replacement of consumable parts”
• “Air elements” → “Air filters” (more natural term)
12. “Making a point of good maintenance is better saf
