Engine Oil

Topping up your engine oil is crucial to ensuring your engine performs. Engine oil helps keep your engine's moving parts running smoothly. It also clears debris and helps protect your engine from damage. It works much harder than most drivers realise and over time, it drips away, evaporates, and can lose its effectiveness. Part of being a responsible driver is looking after your vehicle, which means you should regularly check your oil and top it up as required. Oil changes should be carried out at least once a year.

Determining what type of engine oil you need can be complicated. Do you want mineral, semi synthetic or fully synthetic oil? What viscosity do you need? What's the difference between 10w-30 and 5w-30? If you already know all of that, you can head directly to any Auto One store to find the product you're looking for. If you don't, you can use the handy Auto One search tool to look for the right products by vehicle. All you need to do is select your state and enter your registration plate number. Alternatively, search by the make, model, and year of your vehicle. Your owner's manual should also help you on the right path.

Whether you are a car expert or not, checking and replacing your oil is a crucial aspect of routine maintenance. Without engine oil, your engine will overheat, which can lead to irreplaceable damage and an expensive bill from the mechanics. This is why it's important to keep the right engine oil on hand.

When your car is in motion the parts of the engine move and rubs together. This causes friction which creates heat. The engine oil lubricates those moving parts and helps absorb the excessive heat to ensure your engine operates smoothly without overheating.

So, by regularly checking your engine oil levels, topping it up, and changing the oil out, you will protect your engine. Typically, you should get an oil change every 8,000 km or at least once a year. However, this depends on your driving style and the age of your engine. If you drive a lot, you might want to schedule an oil change after 4,500 km. Old oil doesn't do the job as effectively, which is why it's important you change it on a schedule.

Being proactive about moving car parts and lubrication of your vehicle will help you keep it in tip-top condition. Engine oil protects your engine, but it also makes it operate more efficiently, which means better petrol mileage.

If you plan to do the oil change yourself, be sure to purchase enough new oil, a new oil filter, a wrench for the drain plug, a funnel, gloves, a drain pan, and an oil filter removal wrench. You may also need a floor jack and safety stands if you need to raise the vehicle to gain better access. Once you have the supplies you need and prepare your vehicle, find the filter and drain plug, drain the oil, tighten the plug, change the filter, add the new oil, and check to ensure the oil level is correct. Just be sure to dispose of the old oil safely.
