Engine Protect Cover in Car Insurance

Q: Does full coverage insurance cover your engine?

Any consequential damage to your car's engine resulting from lubricating oil leakage or water ingress are not covered under full coverage insurance such as comprehensive car insurance. To ensure that your engine is covered in the event of such loss or damage, you must obtain an engine protect add on cover.

Q: Why protect the car engine?

It is vital to protect the car engine to avoid paying significant costs towards repairing a damaged engine and ensuring that it lasts a long time. The engine protect cover provides coverage for any loss or damage sustained by the engine and its components due to oil leakage or water ingression and acts as a guard against any unanticipated engine repair costs.

Car engine maintenance tips

Check the engine oil regularly to ensure that your car's engine lives a long and healthy life. Replace the engine oil regularly to keep the engine's internal components in good working condition.
Do not skip your car's periodical service. It is essential to keep your engine in good working order. Ensure that you replace the car's air filters and other important components as and when needed.
Avoid overloading your vehicle because this will reduce engine performance, resulting in the loss or damage of your vehicle's engine.
Do not overwork the engine by accelerating hard or overheating it; this might result in irreversible damage to engine parts and shorten your car engine’s life.
