Why We Need To Change Motor (Engine) Oil Regularly by obafemee80(m): 11:31pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
[img]http:///a/img924/5057/1gfipH.jpg[/img] The motor oil costs only a small fraction of the total amount that you spend on your car but choosing the right oil can save you large sums. Low quality or overused motor oil is not capable of fulfilling its duties and can cause a series of problems. We are going to introduce the most important motor oil related problems, their usual causes and consequences. 1)Deposit Formation Possible reasons: additive depletion or contaminated motor oil. Possible consequences: pre-ignition, reduced power, higher emissions. 2)Wear Possible reasons: abrasive physical particles in the motor oil, additive depletion, motor oil contamination or too low motor oil level. Possible consequences: engine component failure or engine breakdown. 3)Motor Oil Viscosity Increase Possible reasons: additive depletion, motor oil oxidation and motor oil contamination. Possible consequences: motor oil circulation problems, wear of critical engine components, mechanical problems. 4)Motor Oil Thermal Breakdown Possible reasons: additive depletion, motor oil oxidation, abnormally high engine temperature. Possible consequences: motor oil thickening, oil starvation, cold start problems, engine failure. 5)Motor Oil Circulation Problems Possible reasons: motor oil pump malfunction, clogged oil passages, too low oil level. Possible consequences: low motor oil pressure, wear of critical engine components, mechanical problems. How to Avoid These Problems These problems can be avoided by using quality motor oils and by respecting the factory recommended oil drain intervals. A quality motor oil contains all the additives that are required to prevent these problems so there is no need for aftermarket additives,for engine flush or for changing the oil more frequently than recommended by the OEM- Original equipment manufacturer. An exception from the last rule is when the operating conditions are tougher than normal, since those conditions require the shortening of the oil drain interval. http://www.oilspecifications.org/articles/why-change-oil-regularly.php https://autojosh.com/need-change-motorengineoil-regularly/ 3 Likes 5 Shares |

Every vehicle should be serviced with the appropriate engine oil, every 12 months or 10,000 miles (whichever comes first)........ 3 Likes |

I think for synthetic oils, 5000 miles or 6 months - whichever is earlier. |

Its been two months already since i last changed mine. Its already @3000 miles. when i changed my oil in December was very surprised that i covered 5000miles in 3 months still thinking how i managed to cover such long distance in 3 months. |

Lexusgs430: This is more like it, 3 months or 5000km is just too short for modern oils. I bet synthetics go even longer - heck, the Valvoline High mileage 5w30 full synthetic I have in my rust bucket claims 360,000km of protection! (not that I'd wait that long though ![]() |
