Check Engine Oil

Create on Sunday, November 19, 2006

It is important to ensure that your car has enough engine oil. Just recently, my friend's car broke down due to this problem. And this problem has caused the engine much problems and to fix it, it is very costly, much costly than you changing to another engine. His engine is 1.3cc and that cause around RM500-600.

Another thing to learn from here is be alert to the symptom. Before his car totally broke down, there is some sound in his car. It sounds like "kung kung kung ... ". I think if he stops his car after hearing that sound, maybe he still got slight chance to save his engine.

Another thing is when should we change the engine oil. The mechanic said every 5000KM. I went to check out the Internet to find out more. It says it depend on the condition of the engine. Anyway, the point is find out more about this by either seeking advice from the experts. Not just from one person but the more the better. Having some car maintenance knowledge indeed will prevent you from facing much financial loses and also the hassle and time to get your car fix.

I'm grateful because my father is in car air-conditioner line and from time to time, he shared his car maintenance knowledge to me.
