Why is there an additional deep oil change during maintenance?
1 Answers
During a traditional oil change, the old oil is simply drained out without thoroughly cleaning the residual old oil, sludge, metal shavings, impurities, and oxides before adding new oil. The old oil contains a large amount of oxides, which, if not completely removed, can clog the oil pump filter screen and fine lubrication channels, preventing the oil from reaching the areas that need lubrication. Hence, a deep oil change is included in maintenance. The benefits of a deep oil change are as follows: 1. Thoroughly cleans the fuel tank and lubrication system of residual sludge and other impurities, improving lubrication effectiveness. 2. Extends the service life of the newly replaced oil. 3. Enhances the engine's lifespan.
