The single most important thing you can do to get long life from your engine is to change your engine oil and oil filter as often as recommended by your car manual. This is good maintenance practice. Note that a motor oil that properly lubricates the engine system during the first few thousand kilometres can later become thick and even corrosive after long periods of use. It then cannot flow as required and also blocks the oil filter. This may cause engine damage and seizure in extreme cases.

Engine oil protects the engine from wear and tear, prevents corrosion and also prevents deposits of foreign materials from forming blocks. It cools the engine and maximizes performance and protects the engine from rust.

This line of high-endurance engine oils, designed to provide protection during today's longer oil change intervals, includes four products -- Mobil Clean 5000, Mobil Clean High Mileage , Mobil Clean 7500, and Mobil 1 Extended Performance.. Each product in this complete line of oils is guaranteed to provide protection from lubricant related engine failure for up to 5,000, 7,500 and 15,000 miles, respectively.

No, Rislone Engine Treatment is formulated to be left safely in the crankcase for the life of the oil change for maximum performance. It is not an engine flush and does not require draining.

Many old engines show signs of oil burning. Tufoil can help in some cases by freeing up partially sticking piston rings. There have been some dramatic improvements reported from the field where Tufoil freed up the rings and they started working properly again. However If the rings are cemented solid in their grooves or the cylinder is scored, no lubricant can eliminate the smoking.

CLD motors have exceptionally long life when properly applied and maintained. Endurance testing is being performed and as of March 2004 has demonstrated life in excess of 750 million linear inches when run axially loaded with 100 lbm using a motion profile peaking at 65 inches/sec over an 8 inch stroke.

About 4 liters. A good rule of thumb is that you need to fill the engine oil until the oil pours out when the top pepcock is open. If the oil does not pour out, then add more oil.

Why does AMSOIL say to change the AMSOIL SDF Oil Filter at six months regardless of the mileage. I have only gone 5,000 miles and figure that I could go the whole year without changing it and be good.

This is a TOUGH question. Many people have their own opinion on this. My personal preference is Valvoline 10w-30. I have used that since my first car and have NEVER had any problems with it.

You do not need to use a 5W-20 oil. Do not let your dealer/owner's manual scare you by telling you that you have to use it for your warranty. Once you know the facts and the Federal Magnuson Moss Act law, you will be much better informed to protect your rights and use the type of oil you want to use. See the 5w-20 Issue for more detailed information.

superheated oil exiting the turbo bearings sometimes looks like a chocolate mousse. this is why the turbos have a water jacket to help cool them. a turbocharger puts extreme stress on oil, and the oil is the only thing in your engine separating metal-to-metal disaster. again, bargain basement or generic brand oil is not a wise idea.

Used motor oil can be dropped off for recycling at any of the collection centers listed below. Call the County at (727) 464-4623 for more information.

Yes, it is. To meet the demanding requirements of today's specifications (and our customers' expectations), Mobil 1 with SuperSyn uses high-performance fluids, including polyalphaolefins (PAOs), along with a proprietary system of additives. Each Mobil 1 with SuperSyn viscosity grade uses a unique combination of synthetic fluids and selected additives in order to tailor the viscosity grade to its specific application.

All motor oils are made up of base oils and additives. In general, fully synthetic motor oils contain non-conventional, high-performance fluids. Semi-synthetic oils (also called "blends") usually use a small percentage of non-conventional, high-performance fluids in combination with conventional base oil.

Yes. The program occurs on the 4th Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at Berniece Bennett Park, 31800 Village Center Rd. Westlake Village.
