Vehicle maintenance

Gearbox
Grinding sound means gears are out of alignment.

Engine
Nothing, no smoke must come out of exhaust. Any smoke means that the rings aren't scraping oil off from the piston chamber. Start the engine and pull out the oil indicator, place tissue paper over dipstick tube. If any oil or gas comes out then the rings are worn down. The problem will get progressively worse. Finally do a compression test, http://www.dummies.com/home-garden/car-repair/fuel-system/how-to-check-an-engines-cylinder-compression/
 * Test the oil from sump that it isn't SAE90 gear oil.

Radiator
Replace electric fan motor every 50,000km

Engine additives
Only SAE40 oil has been approved by the mechanical engineering society ASME, nothing else must be used. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/auto-parts-prolong-super-lubric-prolong-engine-killer-1581.
