Regular Oil Change Intervals: Prevent Clogged Lines!

Most people know that cholesterol is the cause for clogged arteries and can be a health risk for many people. Physicians will usually take immediate action to restore the flow of blood through the body. Although this may seem to be an insignificant comparison, the same principle applies to the passage ways for the oil that flows through your vehicle's engine. Just as a poor diet and too little exercise cause deposits of cholesterol to block our arteries, contaminated oil can gum up the engine of our vehicles. Regular oil changes will help prevent these oil deposits in the lines of the motor. Many auto shops offer oil change coupons to keep your vehicle healthy.

What causes oil deposits?

Hot temperatures will cause oil to solidify and become baked onto the surface of whatever it happens to be residing in (i.e., a narrow engine oil passageway or critical engine parts). It will lose its viscosity and become a tar-like sticky goop that makes your engine work harder than usual to run.

What can be done if your car develops oil deposits?

If enough of these deposits collect, you will see an increase in engine problems. Thick or solid oil will pollute, hinder and contribute to overheating instead of cleaning, lubricating and cooling your engine.

Certain types of vehicles are more prone to oil deposits than others. But it smart to take preventative measures.

There are a few things you can do to keep your vehicle's engine healthy, such as:

• Regular oil changes—check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended oil change interval.
• Schedule a maintenance service if you notice your car has increasing problems with hard starting, misfiring, running hot, low oil indicator light coming on, or a bad oxygen sensor.
• Use synthetic oil if your budget will allows.
• Do your research on additives--they may actually cause more bad than good by reacting chemically with your oil in undesired ways.

Automotive Service: It’s All About Technology!

Taking good care of your vehicle is becoming more and more complex. The automotive industry is now considered as a "high-tech" industry. With the advanced technology in today's modern cars, professional automotive service is a must! When it comes to automotive repair, vehicle owners realize that their vehicle is significantly more high-tech than just a few years ago and thus requires expert technicians.

Why is the automotive industry considered to be "high-tech?" In a report published by The Center for Automotive Research (CAR), a nonprofit research organization based in Ann Arbor, MI, a "high-tech industry" was defined as an industry sector that meets certain criteria and contains particular characteristics. For example, 10% or more of the industry's workforce is made up of technical employees, such as engineers. CAR's report summarized that the automotive industry "leads the pack" when it comes to technological developments and applications.

INTERESTING FACTS:

• For every vehicle manufactured worldwide, an average of $1,200 is spent by manufacturers for research and development.
• Today's vehicles contain around 60 microprocessors (four times as many as just 10 years ago).
• 40% to 50% of the total cost of a vehicle is comprised of electronics (up from just 20% a decade ago).
• The average vehicle has more than 10 million lines of software code in a typical computer network (over half the lines of code that reportedly run Boeing's 787 Dreamliner!)
• Approximately 4,800 patents are granted to the automotive industry every year.
• GM and Ford individually spend more money on research and development than either General Electric or Apple.
• Five automakers—Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Daimler—are among the top 20 in all corporate research and development spending.

CAR further suggests that an automobile is the most complex purchase made by consumers. In conclusion, jobs in the automotive industry will require workers to obtain advanced training and skills to equip them for designing, building and maintaining today's modern vehicles.

Car Tune Up: Can You Forget About It?

Do new cars really need a tune up? Yes!  Even though your owner's manual may not specifically refer to the schedule of maintenance services as a tune up, it is important that you follow the recommended service intervals for the various components. The interval for a tune up will vary depending on the make, model, and age of your vehicle. Older vehicles with non-electronic ignitions should have a tune up service every 10,000 to 12,000 miles or every year, whichever comes first. Newer cars with electronic ignition and fuel injection systems can go from 25,000 miles to as many as 100,000 miles before a major tune up is needed.

Even if your vehicle has not reached the next tune up (or maintenance service) interval, if you do a lot of stop-and-go driving or pull heavy loads (like a camper or boat), it would be wise to have the various systems checked frequently. Make sure your vehicle is operating at its optimum efficiency as you head out on a summer road trip.

There are some obvious symptoms that will alert you when your vehicle's electronic ignition system may need to be tuned, or adjusted, such as:

• Stalls frequently: The spark plugs may be dirty or worn; the gap between the spark plug electrodes may need adjusting; or an electronic sensing device may need to be adjusted.
• Idles rough: A car tune up is definitely needed.
• Lacks power: Lacks passing power to safely overtake a slower vehicle.
• Hard to start: The battery or fuel pump could be weak, or there is a faulty electronic component in the ignition system.

Make sure to take your vehicle to an auto repair shop for full testing and diagnosis if you're experiencing any of the above problems. A tune up service may prevent a future accident!
