Would you like to improve the performance of your engine and extend its lifespan? This article will tell you how with maintenance and products like AMSOIL's Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil. If you were to ask one group of car enthusiasts what their ideal drive away would be, and it could involve a nice weekend away with the sun shining overhead. Inside the big off-road vehicle is a group of friends who are all set for some off-roading adventures. Of course, if you were to ask a separate group of people about their ideal driving getaway, it could be taking the kids to the beach for the day so that they can experience what the real sun looks like, not just the graphics from their video games. For this outing, the whole family will pile into the back of a sedan and hit the road! Of course, let’s not forget the group of enthusiasts who love nothing more than driving their car to the local motoring appreciation society meet ups to relax with other like-minded observers and marvel at the beauty of their classic machines. Above are three very different driving adventures with very different vehicles and most likely, very different drivers. However, despite their differences, all three of these vehicle types all have one thing in common. That one thing is that each engine experiences unnecessary engine wear and damage. We say unnecessary because much of the wear and damage which an engine incurs can be avoided with the right level of basic maintenance and the right products. With extensive experience providing motorists just like yourself with the right products and advice to keep their engine in top shape and running at its best for longer, Ace Hi Oil knows a thing or two about keeping a clean engine and has the following post to share with helpful information. To extend the lifespan of your engine and increase its performance, speak with Ace Hi Oil by calling (888) 459-9958 and ask about AMSOIL's Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil, along with many other products which can help you get the most out of your engine.

What Causes Engine Wear and Damage?

The best place to start is with a basic understanding of how your engine works, so let’s get started with a basic explanation. If you were to draw a cross-section of your engine, then all that you would see would be a large number of metal parts, both large and small in size, which are intricately interacting with each other. While you may not be able to understand what each part does, you would be able to see how necessary each one is. Now, imagine when you start your car; each of these pieces is thrust into motion. And as you can imagine, this motion occurs at high speeds and high temperatures, as is indicated on your RPM and temperature gauges. If this were allowed to happen on its own, your engine wouldn’t last very long. This is because of the level of friction which would build up between each part. While, at first, it would simply be small pieces of each part being cut away by other parts, it would soon result in each of the parts stopping working, leaving you with something called a ‘seized engine.' This can often mean the need to replace your engine.

But You Drive Your Car for Hours on End! How Can It Possibly Be Damaged That Quickly?

A fair and excellent question. To keep your engine running smoothly, a product known by a few names is used. You might know it as an engine lubricant, motor oil, engine oil, or even, synthetic motor oil. Whichever name you know it as, it performs one crucial role, which is to lubricate each interaction all of your engine parts complete. Motor oil is a slimy liquid which you pour into your oil intake opening. When this is poured through your engine, it covers each of the parts you would see in the diagram with a thin film. Despite this film being quite thin, it is able to provide superior lubrication for each of your engine’s parts. With a high-quality motor oil running through your engine, each of your engine parts can operate smoothly and without any friction, as was mentioned above. With this in place, your engine is provided with the life blood that it needs to operate without damage and with minimal engine wear.
