Is it necessary to perform an oil change immediately when it's due?
1 Answers
An oil change is indeed required immediately when it's due. Here are the specific details: Reasons: If the oil change is overdue, it should be replaced as soon as possible after driving approximately 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Expired oil is not beneficial for the engine. Oil is highly absorbent and over time, it absorbs moisture from the air, leading to oil degradation and a decline in performance. Precautions for oil change maintenance: Replace both the oil and the oil filter simultaneously, as this helps extend the engine's lifespan. When removing the oil filter, use a filter wrench or appropriate tools to prevent damage to the connecting threads. Do not mix single-grade and multi-grade oils. Different brands of oil can be temporarily mixed, but long-term mixing should be avoided. Do not use machine tool oil or other non-engine oils in car engines, as this can cause premature wear or damage to the engine.
