Don’t Go Without Clean Oil in Your Capital BMW Tallahassee Auto

Mar 30, 2013

Motor oil is the life-blood of your Tallahassee new or used BMW. Without the proper protection provided by fresh, quality motor oil, your engine could seize up and suffer a mechanical breakdown. As you drive your Nissan, the engine will heat up and friction will be present. It is the job of the motor oil to provide the proper lubrication to reduce the amount of friction in the engine.

When you run your engine, the motor oil cycles throughout and lubricates the moving parts. Over time, the motor oil in your engine will absorb moisture and will pick up the dirt and debris in the engine. This dirt can settle into the bottom of the oil reserve and eventually cycle through the engine. The oil filter does perform the task of catching as much debris as possible but when dirty, it will not do a sufficient job. For this reason, you’ll need to ensure your oil filter as well as the dirty oil is replaced on a regular basis.

Oil will need to be flushed from the engine to ensure the debris settling at the bottom of the tank is also removed and will not contaminate the new oil. High quality oil suitable for the Nissan brand will need to be replaced to proper levels. Filters that have become too dirty to function or those showing signs of wear and tear will need to be replaced with properly fitting filters to protect the new oil.

Replacing dirty oil is necessary to protect your overall engine’s condition and functionality. By skipping out on a few oil changes throughout the year, you are denying the technicians at our Tallahassee FL BMW service center the opportunity to catch small repair issues such as leaks and other damages. If you have a leak in your engine and oil is frequently lost, you could potentially cause irreparable damage to your engine. It is best to have regular inspections of your engine to avoid these potential dangers.
