Engine Oil Maintenance
The newer computerized engine environment has revolutionized the automotive repair industry. Today the computer monitors nearly every component in the engine system to keep it functioning in peak condition. The engine creates more power in a smaller package with finer precision tolerances. Everything, including the engine oils have seen significant improvements to keep up with the demand of today’s more sophisticated engines.
Longer Oil Change Maintenance Intervals
Many of the improvements have led to longer performance life and longer maintenance intervals, according to vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to review the recommended preventative maintenance schedule for your vehicle.
Normal vs Severe
Be sure to note if the engine oil change intervals are listed as “Normal” or “Severe” driving conditions. Since the driving conditions listed below are all considered “Severe Driving Conditions” you should use your vehicle manufacturer’s suggested engine oil replacement intervals that best match your style of your driving.
- Driving in stop and go traffic - Severe
- Frequent short trips - Severe
- Driving in extreme temperatures - Severe
- Towing or Hauling – Severe
In situations where your vehicle manufacturer does not specify “Severe” conditions, most industry experts use 3-months, 3,000 miles as an appropriate oil change interval. EZ Lube recommends that regularly scheduled engine oil replacement as one the best ways to maintain to ensure that your motor will stay clean, sludge free and help you avoid costly repairs due to engine oil viscosity breakdown.
Engine Cleaning
Over time, deposits, tarnish and sludge can build-up in your engine. The build-up can cause many problems including sticking valves or rocker arms or may prevent oil from reaching all parts of the engine. EZ Lube’s Premium Engine Flush can remove these contaminants and help maintain the long-term health of your engine.
Oil Leaks
Extreme heat or cold can damage gaskets, o-rings and seals throughout the engine and result in engine oil leaks. EZ Lube’s Engine Sealer service uses a special oil additive to help restore resiliency to rubber components that have shrunk or dried out. EZ Lube’s Engine Sealer service is effective for both gas and diesel engines and works with all types of motor oils, including synthetic motor oil.
