Benefits You Didn’t Know About Oil Changes

posted on 7/8/2020 6:53:42 AM

Automotive technology has come a long way since the mid-20th century, and so has motor oil. A 1940s-era car didn’t feature an oil pump or oil filter. Instead, they relied on dippers on the crankshaft’s counterweights, which would then sling oil to coat crucial moving parts. Motor oils in those days weren’t designed with detergents and other additives to help keep the engine clean; even with frequent oil change intervals, many cars would be in need of an engine overhaul by the time they reach...

Mixing Tires – Bad Idea

posted on 7/8/2020 6:13:41 AM
