Your car’s engine can’t operate at all without motor oil. It is the essential element needed to protect the engine and keep it running.
Clean oil flowing through a vehicle’s engine helps it operate efficiently, safely, and quietly.
Specifically, it achieves the following:
Reduces friction and minimizes wear: The oil provides a protective layer covering all the engine parts. There are also special additives that reduce friction between the engine’s moving parts.
Removes excessive heat: Motor oil absorbs heat from around the piston rings and redistributes it throughout the engine. This prevents overheating the engine.
Cleans the engine: Motor oil keeps debris, dirt, and combustion deposits from building up in and around the engine. It also prevents blockages. Oil absorbs the dirt and debris and holds it until your next oil change service.
Prevents corrosion and rust: Oil helps protect the engine components from corrosion and rust.
By maintaining a regular schedule of oil changes, you are taking the most important action possible to protect the engine in your vehicle. It’s easy to put this appointment off, but it’s better than having large engine repair bills to pay at a later date.
