Replacement the engine oil

Changing engine oil

Engine oil plays a crucial role in ensuring the normal, trouble-free operation of your car’s powertrain. In addition to its main function (lubricating individual engine elements and reducing temperature due to friction), oil “collects” many pollutants formed during combustion.

That is why you need to periodically change engine oil, which you can do yourself or at a specialized car service. When changing oil, you not only update its characteristics for better lubrication, but also remove as much of all excess dirt as possible:

• carbon deposits;
• metal particles;
• soot;
• acidic combustion elements, etc.

The cost of changing oil is very affordable, so experts strongly advise you to follow the recommendations of car manufacturers and change consumables at a certain frequency.

Changing engine oil and engine cleanliness

Remember that even the most expensive and high-quality engine oil has a limited ability to absorb various unwanted substances in the engine. If you change it often enough, the engine stays clean, which lowers its operating temperature and reduces the likelihood of seizure.

The situation is complicated in the case of cars with a long service life or simply when the oil is changed very infrequently or not regularly enough for various reasons. After overcoming the oil “absorbent” barrier, unwanted substances begin to settle on the engine components, creating a layer of sludge with an increasing thickness, which can no longer drain on its own during a standard oil change.

Imagine that deposits accumulate in the channels through which the oil flows, reducing their diameter and increasing the time it takes for the oil to reach the engine parts that need lubrication. The sludge clogs various types of screens, which is why some components (for example, the turbocharger) do not have enough lubrication, which is often the main or only reason for their failure.

Affordable price for changing engine oil in Auto Master service

Changing engine oil from our service is a very important procedure if you want to extend the life of your power plant. Dirt, carbon deposits and sludge can “stick” to the piston rings, which is why they cease to be airtight.

The engine burns more and more oil, and the products of this combustion in the form of gases increasingly quickly decompose engine oil and go into catalysts, filters and other elements. The engine quickly stops working normally and may require major repairs.

Remember that the price for the “oil change in Kiev” service in any service is incomparably cheaper than the cost of even the cheapest engine repair. You should not postpone the replacement procedure if you do not want to have problems with the car engine in the future.

Procedure frequency

Oil change, the cost of which in our service is always affordable, is performed at a certain frequency. As a rule, automakers recommend performing this procedure every 15 thousand km or once a year (whichever comes first).
