Vehicle owners are constantly being advised to have their engine oil changed at regular and frequent intervals so that they may avoid costly engine repairs down the road. Considering the extreme, what happens if you blatantly disregard this oil change recommendation? It is possible for the oil inside the engine to thicken into sticky gel, commonly known as sludge. When motor engine oil is not changed according to the manufacture's recommended intervals, the gummy gel builds up around moving parts of the engine to cause damage. This error is compounded by driving short, stop-and-go cycles and at cold temperatures, which conspire to create water and fuel condensation that add to sludge buildup. HINT: When blue smoke comes out of the tailpipe of a vehicle, it is an indication of sludge buildup. |
