At a time when more and more people are entrusting the maintenance of their cars, checking the engine oil level can save you from hassles.
- Engine Lubrication: Motor oil plays a crucial role in lubricating engine parts. It reduces friction between moving components, helping to prevent premature wear and overheating. Insufficient oil can lead to ineffective lubrication, increasing friction and wear on engine parts.
- Engine Cooling: Motor oil also helps dissipate heat generated by the engine by lubricating moving parts. It absorbs heat and transports it away from critical engine areas. If the oil level is too low, the oil’s cooling capacity is reduced, which can cause the engine to overheat.
- Corrosion Protection: Engine oil contains additives that help protect internal engine components against corrosion. If the oil level is too low, some parts may not be sufficiently protected, leading to premature deterioration of components.
- Engine Cleaning: Motor oil also acts as a cleaning agent by removing impurities, deposits, and residues that can form inside the engine over time. If the oil level is too low, it may lose its cleaning efficiency, leading to dirt buildup and harmful contaminants.
By regularly checking your car’s oil level, you can ensure that the engine is properly lubricated, cooled, and protected. It is recommended to consult your vehicle’s owner manual for the suggested frequency of oil checks and changes, as well as for the recommended type of oil for your vehicle.
