How Timely Oil Change Can Reduce Your Vehicle Repairs in Abuja.

An oil change service is the most basic effort you can put into the maintenance of your vehicle to prevent regular visit to the mechanic workshop for vehicle repairs in Abuja.

1. Regular Oil Change Service Keeps Your Vehicle Lubricated

The components of your vehicle’s engine are consistently in mechanical motion. Now it is the combination of the motion between several intricately aligned components that keeps your vehicle moving. The role of the oil in all of these is lubrication, yes! we definitely do not want our vehicle’s engine components( usually metals) to grind against each other as this might lead to very fierce metal on metal wear and tear and within your engine that will quickly lead to a full on engine knock and a very expensive vehicle repair bill which is most often the case as far as vehicle repairs in Abuja is concerned.

2. Regular Oil Change Service Ensures Proper Fluid Flow within The Engine

Lubricants in a vehicle engine accumulates dusts and other impurities such as metal filings overtime. Now this impurities are moved from one part of the engine to the other, building up what we call “sludge” within your engine. Now sludge can best be described as thick oil filled with dirt, water and other impurities. Sludge does not flow like normal lubricants in your engine. This sludge build up with time, will clog the engine lubricant flow system and prevent the good lubricant from moving around freely within your engine, this could then lead to stuck valves, retarded motion, mechanical wear, tear and overtime a complete engine knock.

3. Longer Lasting Engine Components/Parts

Changing your oil at the right interval helps to protect your engine parts. Inside your engine there are a many key parts which makes your engine run such as the crank shaft and the connecting rods. These rods control the pistons inside of your engine’s cylinders. There is also another piece called the camshaft which assists in opening and closing the vehicle’s exhaust valves. Making sure that you have clean oil in your vehicle’s engine is crucial in keeping these components well moving and running properly.

4. Better Fuel Economy

Now, a well lubricated engine performs its task effortlessly and without friction. While a poorly lubricated engine will suffer from friction which will then exert more stress on your vehicle’s engine and a combination of these factors will reduce your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. The emphasis on the word lubrication is because that is key to the proper functioning of your vehicle’s engine.

5. Less Emission and Environmental Pollution

In advanced nations around the world, the issue of environmental pollution from vehicles is a serious concern. There are laws in place to ensure that your vehicle does not violate this regulations. A poorly maintained vehicle will smoke, and a smoking vehicle is very bad for the environment so even if the issue of environmental pollution is not so well enforced in Nigeria, we should play our part in reducing the damages that we cause the environment by keeping our vehicle in the best conditions through regular routine maintenance.

Conclusion
