Oil Change
The little stickers that mechanics put on your windshield isn’t just there to decorate your car. Oil change is an important task we need to do the moment we buy or acquire a car.
Vehicles function with elements and gears rubbing onto each other to create energy and motion. These parts need oil to lubricate the so-called instruments. Over time, the engine demand for oil is too much that it eventually breaks down the chemical make-up of the oil, thus making it less effective. If left untreated, the lack of lubrication will leave engine parts rubbing on to each other therefore creating critical damage. Hence, the old oil needs to be drained so that fresh oil can be injected.
Oil Filter
Oil filter is designed to remove contaminants from engine oil, transmission oil, lubricating oil or hydraulic oil.
As explained above, particles (dust, dirt, debris) can cause degradation of lubricated components. Oil Filters help the ingression of the particles before it could start any major problems
Air Filter
Most people think that having their air filter changed is not at important as say, having an oil change. We have one logical explanation for that. Air filter functions as well, for lack of better term, a “filter”!
The right amount of fuel and air is needed to operate an internal combustion engine. Petrol or Diesel fuels won’t be able to burn properly without air (oxygen), now the air that the engine will use needs to be “cleaned” before it enters the engine, or else dirt, dust and debris will amass which results to poor performance. A worn out filter won’t be able to “trap” these elements effectively and will make their way inside the engine, they will rub on important metal parts causing them to wear away and eventually replaced.
