Engine Oil, sometimes call Motor Oil, lubricates your engine’s moving parts, to reduce the damaging friction. As a result, lowering wear & tear of engine parts.
When changing your oil, one of the worst things to notice, is the smell of gas in the oil. Because, it means that gas, is somehow making its way into your engine’s oil. However, it […]
Professional installers offer the following information on, cleaning coolant mixed with oil, in the lubrication system. However, the following information, applies only to certain situations. So, it is not applicable for all engines, that have […]

Rear engine oil leaks, that are confused with a rear main seal leak, are usually an oil pan gasket leaking. Consequently, an oil pan gasket is also, much less expensive to replace, than a leaking […]
Engine bearing clearance, is very important and can cause early failures if not correct. Engine bearings should operate with, the least amount of engine bearing clearance as possible. So, tighter oil clearances, produce less peak […]
Zinc additives in engine oils, have been recommended by most engine manufacturers for years. So, why do we have lower zinc and phosphorus levels, in modern engine oils. Consequently, the American Petroleum Institute (API), has […]
So, the first sign of worn out piston rings, is engine blow-by. Consequently, if you are seeing puffs of blue smoke out of the exhaust, it means the engine is burning oil. Also, with worn […]
Suddenly, an engine oil pressure warning light or a low oil pressure reading, appears on your dash. At that point, the engine oil pressure warning, is the only thing you should be thinking about. Above […]
Your typical oil filter has to perform, a crucially important job. The oil filter removes, solid contaminants, such as dirt, carbon and metal particles from the engine. Before they can damage, bearings and cylinder wall […]
The first sign of trouble, may be a flickering oil light or a low engine oil pressure reading. Consequently, low engine performance, engine noise and even poor starting, can all be caused by, low engine […]
So, a poor maintenance routine, is the biggest cause, of engine lubrication problems. And, extended oil change intervals, are partly responsible for low engine oil levels and subsequent, engine lubrication problems. As a result, excessive […]
The oil pan gasket, has only one important job to do. And, that is sealing the oil pan, to the bottom of the engine. But, it is not uncommon, for the gasket to wear out […]
Engine sludge forms, as engine oil oxidizes and breaks down. Also, during oxidation the oil combines with dirt, fuel, metallic particles, water, gases, and coolant. Consequently, leaving behind deposits, recognized as engine sludge. Because, the […]

Most importantly, fuel getting into engine oil is bad. Because, it lowers the lubricating qualities of the oil. And, also lowers the engine oil viscosity, causing the oil to thin out, to a dangerous level. […]
There is a condition, that adds to many engine failures, generally referred to as, “fuel wash”. Above all, there is only thing protecting your cylinder walls and bearings, from fuel wash. Consequently, that is, the […]
So, engine oil consumption, is now going up, as the oil change intervals, become higher. But, most modern engines, don’t suffer from, engine oil consumption. That’s why, many vehicle owners, forget to regularly check their […]
Low oil pressure is something no one wants, but it happens more often than you think. Consequently, low oil pressure, can cause damage to different engine components, spelling trouble for your engine. A good place […]
