Changing engine oil is one of the key car care procedures that helps extend the life of the engine and maintain its efficient operation. In this article, we'll look at the importance of engine oil changes, optimal intervals, and choosing the right oil.

Motor oil plays a key role in maintaining engine health. It lubricates moving parts, prevents wear and reduces friction, which helps extend engine life. However, over time, oil loses its properties due to thermal decomposition and mechanical contamination, so regular oil changes are necessary to maintain optimal engine performance.

Oil change intervals depend on several factors, including engine type, engine age, operating conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. In general, it is recommended to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers or every 6 months.

Choosing the right oil

When choosing engine oil, you must take into account the recommendations of the car manufacturer. These are usually listed in the instruction manual. It is important to consider the oil viscosity, specifications and requirements for it.

Viscosity is the main indicator. The quality of lubrication of engine components, wear rate, and friction losses depend on it. In addition, this indicator indirectly affects the temperature regime and oil consumption for waste. Even if the engine is not running, you need to change the oil at least once a year, regardless of mileage.

If the lubricant is chosen incorrectly, the car will operate with increased wear and tear, without having time to warm up during short trips around the city. Ducts and channels can become clogged with harmful substances, and because of this, the engine suffers. Therefore, the main problem for motorists is the choice of engine oil.

One of the best oils on the Turkmenistan market is Shell Helix Ultra. It is a synthetic base oil made from natural gas using Shell's innovative PurePlus technology. Its main advantage is the almost complete absence of impurities and high molecular homogeneity, due to which this oil has very stable viscosity, friction and volatility characteristics compared to traditional mineral base oils.

Changing the oil is not only a procedure, but also an investment in the long-term performance of the car. Maintain regular maintenance and choose quality oil for maximum protection and performance of your engine.
