Engine Oil Maintenance Tips By Bosch

---

Do you know how important engine oil is, to the functioning of a car’s engine? If you didn’t, it is important to learn up. Engine oil lubricates the engine’s moving parts so that it reduces the effects of heat, and wear and tear of an engine’s parts. Of course it also protects the engine against corrosion and rusting, cools the engine’s operating temperature and helps remove contaminants such as impurities from fuel and soot from incomplete combustion.
Pang Yoon Kong, Country Manager of Bosch AA Malaysia mentions that following to the routine oil change is vital for both the performance and health of your vehicle. If not, this could pose a long term problem, with the most common being engine overheating and worse, a very costly engine replacement.
“If you notice significant engine clanking noises, higher engine oil consumption than usual, or that the colour of the engine oil has turned black during a dipstick check despite the oil level still being high, please get your car inspected immediately. These are tell-tale signs of engine problems that may be caused by multiple factors aside from a simple leaky gasket,” he added.
There are three types of engine oils – mineral, semi-synthetic, and fully-synthetic. Mineral oils are generally derived from refined crude oil, while fully-synthetic oils are man-made in the lab; semi-synthetic oils are a blend of the two. Every engine is different; therefore, it is important to use the appropriate grade of engine oil based on the car engine’s specifications as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
