It might be impossible to prevent a car from eventually leaking oil.. A car engine constantly heats up and cools down - The roads we travel bump and bang as we drive, which cause bolts to loosen up. Eventually the gaskets wear out and become shruken and brittle. Leading to oil leaks.

---------------------regular oil changes, purchase an additive, or change valve gaskets
