Why Changing the Oil and Using Synthetic Oil is Essential

We have mentioned it before, plenty of times: changing your oil is crucial for the well-being of you vehicle, but just how important is it really? Well, today we want to discuss some of the reasons why changing it is so essential, and how synthetic oil can improve your engine.

Synthetic Oil Changes Offer Better Results

Changing the oil is the top maintenance requirement for your vehicle. Not doing so can turn into a chaotic situation for your engine. However just changing the oil is not enough, the type of motor oil that you use also plays a serious role in how well your engine runs and how long it lasts. Which is why we always recommend you use a great quality fully synthetic oil such as Amsoil. The incredible benefits that Amsoil 100% synthetic oil can provide for your car, are immediately noticeable. ;From complete lubrication regardless of the conditions, to prolonged durability and fewer oil changes, Amsoil will help you save your engine from friction and other dangers and will save you a significant amount of money. Look for the right full synthetic oil for your vehicle in our Amsoil online store or contact us here.

What Will Happen If You Don't Change the Oil

  • Friction will destroy your engine. The number one job of motor oil is lubricating the engine parts, in order to protect them from friction damage. The oil must lubricate at all times, even in harsh conditions or difficult weather. If the engine oil is not in a good state it is will not lubricate adequately and it will be harder to avoid engine wreck caused by wear or intense abrasion.

  • The acidity will increase. Motor oil does more than just lubricate, it ;helps ;balance the acidic level of the engine. Without the right motor oil or if the motor oil is not changed, it will not allow the pH level to be stable and will no longer relieve the engine of the acidity reactions. This can cause internal problems and even corrode the engine parts
  • It will be harder to reduce accumulated heat. Another more minor but not less important function of motor oil is helping keep the engine parts cool. As the oil travels throughout the engine parts to lubricate them it also absorbs heat and prevents them from reaching very high temperatures. When the motor oil is past due for an oil change it looses the ability to properly carry out certain functions and is no longer as efficient in assisting with the cooling of the engine parts.
  • Sludge will take over. There are several larger problems that sludge and residue buildup can cause in your vehicle. Motor oil ;and especially synthetic oil allow the engine to stay free of dangerous gunk and soot deposits. As they coat and flow through the engine they also remove the sludge that may have started to build up and carry it to the oil filter where it is retained and waits to be removed. However, if the oil has run its course long enough both the oil filter and oil may become saturated with dirt particles and other gunk and instead of helping keep the engine clean it will be distributed or deposited in unwanted areas.The acidity will increase. Motor oil does more than just lubricate, it ;helps ;balance the acidic level of the engine. Without the right motor oil or if the motor oil is not changed, it will not allow the pH level to be stable and will no longer relieve the engine of the acidity reactions. This can cause internal problems and even corrode the engine parts
  • Your engine will die. Changing the oil is without a doubt extremely critical. The overall result of not doing so is basically a complete or partial breakdown of the engine. It may start with a few engine parts or maybe a minor problem or the engine may just end up collapsing all of a sudden, but you are sure to experience complications.
