Using the proper motor oil for your car is important for the well-being of the car’s engine. You can find all the fluids your car needs by referring to your owner’s manual. Using the wrong motor oil can cause serious problems, like reduced engine power, loss of fuel efficiency, and even engine breakdown.
Here are some indicators that you may have used the wrong motor oil.
- Your car’s engine has trouble starting in the cold
- Your car is leaking oil
- Your car is burning oil
- Your car’s fuel efficiency is waning
- Your car makes a ticking sound in the cold
If you have put the wrong type of oil in your car, bring it to a mechanic. They’ll be able to flush out the oil, change the oil filter, and put the correct oil in your car.
Using the right oil, and having your oil changed regularly will save you money on engine maintenance in the future. Another great way to save money is to shop for
