Do you own a car or even a motorbike? Have you ever gone through its manual? If you have, then you must have seen the frequency in which you need to change the oil of your vehicle. But, do you follow this instruction? Probably no!

The problem with engine oil:

Many people, just like you, do not consider the importance of changing the engine oil in their vehicles. Just as the commercial vehicles, private vehicles and transport vehicles, the heavy construction equipment too needs a regular engine oil change. Having a check on the engine oil is the least expensive maintenance service that you can have. Still, owners want to skip this service thinking that it would save them a huge lot of money.

However, in reality, it actually costs them way more than usual, once the vehicle or the engine completely stops working. The engine oil is the lifeblood of the engine and the engine is the heart of the vehicle. If the engine stops working, there is no way that the machine will move an inch.

Importance of engine oil:

Before you understand why you should be changing the engine oil frequently or as per instruction, you need to understand its importance.

• The carbon and varnish that accumulates on the engine, is reduced by the engine oil
• The extensive amount of heat that is generated every minute in the engine, due to the small explosions constantly taking place in the engine, is reduced to a great extent by the engine oil
• It pulls away the heat and thus, prevents the engine from blowing up.

Because of the accumulation of the varnish and carbon from the engine in order to keep it running smoothly, the engine oil gradually becomes sludgy and reduces it liquidity. Regardless of how expensive the engine oil is or which brand of engine oil you are using, the additives of the engine oil gets used up and in that case, it requires a change. Otherwise, the engine will get permanent and severe damage.

Change the engine oil timely to keep expenses low:

Many people mistake that changing the engine oil is an added expenditure. It is actually a way to save you loads of money. Opening the engine, changing it or cleaning it is way more expensive than changing your engine oil. If you delay your engine oil change, it will affect your engine and this will actually cost you very high.

Checking the engine oil regularly and changing it as per the instruction manual of the heavy equipment or any other vehicle is as important as any other maintenance services. It is very affordable and you do not have to do anything extra or expensive to do this. Just as you take your heavy equipment to the professionals for servicing it, you can check and change the engine oil. But of course, using the right type of engine oil is important. There are different types of engine oils available in the market for different types of engines. Choose the one that is best suited for your machine.
