Could Your Vehicle Use a Synthetic Oil Change?

While most drivers may not know how their engine runs, they know one lesson they pass down, and that is always to keep your engine oil clean and topped up. And while everyone has heard this, most fail to remember and understand why this lesson is so important. Synthetic Oil Direct in Warminster has a post that can help.

Give Your Engine Health a Boost

When you think about your engine in detail, it's made up of a range of metal parts, large and small, which grind, slide, and scrape against each other, all to keep your vehicle moving and your engine operating. As each of these parts operates, they can begin to chip away tiny metal fragments from each other. After a while, this affects your engine operation; your mechanic would refer to it as engine wear. Each time you replace or top up with synthetic oil, it makes its way throughout your engine system, including each of the parts, coating them with a protective barrier. When in place, this film facilitates smooth and easy interaction and movement, meaning that instead of scraping away metal from each other, the parts slide smoothly with minimal wear or damage caused.

Get More Miles from Your Tank

With gas prices rising, more and more drivers are looking to improve their fuel economy, which doesn't involve simply leaving their car in the garage each day. As well as making some adjustments to your driving style, replacing your engine's conventional oil with synthetic oil can have a significant impact on how many miles you get out of each tank of gas. In addition to protecting your engine parts against damage, synthetic oil also works to minimize the amount of friction, as it usually builds up between each engine part as you drive. Yet the more friction between moving parts, the more energy needed to keep each piece moving. By facilitating smooth engine parts movement, synthetic oil effectively reduces friction and, in turn, the amount of fuel your engine needs to operate.

Using high-quality oil is a critical step in vehicle preservation. Protect your four-wheeler and see how your car can benefit from an oil change.

What You Need to Know About Changing Your Car's Oil

Engine oil is one of the most critical fluids in your vehicle. For this reason, you must check and replace it from time to time. Now, if you want to do it yourself, below you'll find a step-by-step guide that covers everything you need to know about this process.

How to Change the Oil on Your Own

Below you'll find the correct way to do an oil change at home:

1. Park your car on an even surface, open the hood, and remove the oil dipstick so the fluid will drain more quickly.
2. Put on gloves and safety glasses; then go to the bottom of the car, locate the crankcase plug, and place the drain pan just below it.
3. Loosen the crankcase plug with the help of a ratchet wrench, and then remove it with your hand. Proceed with caution because the oil could be hot. The draining process will likely take several minutes, depending on the temperature of the lubricant.
4. Meanwhile, clean the crankcase plug with a rag; Examine its condition, and replace it if it looks worn down. When the oil has finished draining, please put the cap back in place, tightening it correctly with the spanner or ratchet wrench.
5. Now locate the oil filter and place the drain pan under it. Afterward, loosen it with an oil filter wrench and allow the remaining liquid to drain. Carefully remove it and check if the gasket didn't stay on the motor mounting plate.
