Friction,
whether between two people or two car parts, is never a good thing.
The former issue may take a number of “interventions” to be
resolved, but the latter only needs a fair amount of automotive
lubricant. As a car owner, you ought to know that automotive
lubricants come in various types and formulations, each for a
specific purpose or car part. Here are two of the most
common automotive lubricants
that every driver must be familiar with:
Motor
Oil
Motor
oil is the one protecting your engine’s moving parts from
overheating and deteriorating prematurely. Car experts recommend that
motor oil be changed every 3,000 miles or 3 months (whichever comes
first) to ensure optimum vehicle performance. Motor oil loses its
integrity and becomes inefficient in lubricating the engine over
time, so regular replacement is a must. Take note that changing your
motor oil may need to be done by authorized service centers because
there are rules to be followed when it comes to the proper disposal
of used motor oil.
Transmission
Fluid
Like
your car’s engine, the transmission also has a fluid lubricant
specially made for it. Transmission fluid makes sure that all moving
parts in the transmission glides smoothly, stays cool, and remains
free from corrosion. You can easily distinguish it from motor oil
because transmission fluid is usually either red or green while motor
oil is amber or dark brown.
