A key element of your vehicle is the oil. The motor oil is the lifeline of your vehicle. It keeps the engine cool and lubricates parts so they won’t grind against each other. The engine oil helps the engine in numerous ways. It helps defend the engine by keeping it clean from sludge, which defends the engine’s operation. Oil lowers wear and friction, which can also enrich the performance of the fuel. Lastly, it reduces the heat inside the engine and pushes it to other areas of the engine. If you are worried about the health of your engine oil, contact our service professionals for an inspection.

Consistently testing the oil level can help keep the driver ensure oil health and upkeep proper oil levels. To avoid touching the hot engine parts, it is a best practice to test the oil when the engine is cooled. Most dipsticks have guidelines to display if the oil levels are too low and need to be topped off. Also when using the dipstick, you can check the oil color. If the oil is light in color and smooth, it’s okay. However, if the oil appears sludgy and dark, then it’s best to replace it.
If your dipstick constantly shows low engine oil levels then you may have a leak. There are a number of methods to test for an oil leak, which is important because a leak could cause harm to the car’s engine. If there are dark puddles under your car, it is possibly a result of its oil pan slowly leaking oil. Smoke from the engine or the smell of burning oil could possibly be an essential sign of an engine oil leak. Also, the engine overheating could possibly be a product of an oil leak.
