In the harsh environment of the Northern Territory, ensuring your car’s engine is functioning properly is critical. One of the most crucial components of an engine’s health is the oil. At RoadPulse Automotive, we want to help you understand the importance of engine oil and why it needs regular maintenance.
Engine oil is a lubricant that helps reduce friction in the engine. It flows throughout the engine to keep all of the parts running smoothly and prevent damage. Without it, your engine could seize or break down.
Over time, the oil breaks down and becomes less effective. This can cause buildup in the engine and increase wear and tear on its components. Regularly changing the oil ensures that it is at its optimal level of performance and cleanliness.
Flushing the engine oil involves using a special machine to clean out any sludge, contaminants or debris that have accumulated in the oil system. This is important because buildup in the oil can cause it to lose its ability to lubricate effectively, resulting in damage to the engine.
There are many problems that can affect engine oil, particularly in the Northern Territory. Dust, dirt and sand are prevalent in this area, which can quickly accumulate in the engine oil and cause damage. High temperatures can also cause the oil to break down more quickly and become less effective. Furthermore, driving on rough or unpaved roads can lead to greater wear and tear on the engine, increasing the need for proper maintenance.
