Each time you run your vehicle, roughly 2,000 moving parts are activated to move it. This generates massive amounts of friction and heat. And motor oil is one of the few things that prevent your engine from destroying itself from wear and tear.
Thus, it’s imperative to have regular oil changes. If you fail to do so, you risk damaging your engine and reducing your vehicle’s life. At Rdrgz Repair, we perform oil changes on Domestic, Euro and Japanese vehicles.
While regular oil change is necessary for engine maintenance, some drivers still need more awareness of its importance. You are simply cruising towards more expensive repairs if you drive around with dirty oil or low oil levels.
An oil change opens the door to a vast range of benefits, including:
Prevent expensive repairs
Protect your engine
Improve gas mileage
Improve energy efficiency
Promote a more eco-friendly engine performance
Extend the life of your engine
Motor oil protects your engine by:
Minimizing friction. This is the essential function of motor oil, reducing wear and tear in the process.
Cleaning key engine parts. Most oils are formulated with additives and surfactants that can clean engine parts. They do so by suspending dangerous contaminants to prevent adhering to critical engine components.
Cooling engine parts. Motor oil absorbs heat and channels it away from vital engine components.
Creating a seal. Motor oil seals piston rings against the cylinder wall to reduce and prevent contamination.
Dampening shocks. Motor oil also functions as a cushion that absorbs the blow of mechanical shock.
Preventing corrosion. Motor oil includes special additives that create a barrier over engine parts and neutralize corrosive products.
Transferring energy. Because motor oil isn’t compressible, it helps transfer energy.
