How does motor oil break down?

posted on

Q: How exactly does motor oil breakdown? - Rodney

A: Oil is pretty temperamental. Constant exposure to heat, moisture and air leads to oil oxidation. This results in oil thickening, sludge, deposit formation and corrosive wear. When oil additives are completely exhausted, oil can no longer handle the dirt and metals that are freely floating around, causing more oxidation. This means oil can no longer protect your engine against corrosion and wear when it breaks down. Leaving oil in your engine will past the recommended oil change date can result in disastrous conditions and expensive repairs. Changing your oil on schedule will remove contaminated oil and replenish your engine with fresh oil. Here at Tire Pros, no appointment is necessary for an oil change, so bring your car on by today!
