The engine is the heart and soul of a vehicle. Keeping it properly
lubricated will help the engine perform better and last longer. The lubrication
system of the engine works to provide a flow to the clean oil at the right
temperature. One of the primary tasks of oil is to ensure that the engine will
not get dry. The other functions of oil are:
·
Reducing friction, heat buildup, and wear by
providing a shield between moving parts.
·
Absorbing dirt and other particles by carrying
them to the oil filter where they are trapped.
·
Coating engine parts to prevent rust and
corrosion when not in use.
·
Dispersing heat by reducing friction produced by
moving parts and combustion of fuel.
·
Preventing wear and tear on engine parts.
The additives in motor oils can get used up over time, and the level of
protection to the engine will be reduced. This is why it is necessary to have
oil changed every now and then to ensure that mechanical components will
continue to perform well. It is advisable to change engine oil every 3,000
miles or as instructed by the manufacturer. Aside from that, it also helps to
clean the fuel injectors and check the other parts to ensure smooth operation.
