Your cars engine oil is an important lubricant in your engine. It allows metal press against each other without causing any damage in your engine. The oil lubricates the pistons as they move up and down in the cylinders and without any oil inside your engine, the metal against metal will cause friction and will create so much heat that metal could weld together damaging the engine.  If you have oil in the engine but never change it then dirt can build up within the oil.  Of course the oil filter removes dirt but sooner or later the filter will not be able to hold anymore dirt and it will get in to the engine oil causing the engine components to wear faster.   Eventually, as the engine oil builds up enough dirt, it will stop lubricating and the engine will fail.  This won’t happen if you neglect to change your oil when it was past due for a month, I wouldn’t want you to panic if it has be about that long since you last had an oil change.  It would take a couple thousands of miles running on the same engine oil through the engine for a long time to cause any serious damage but if you want your engine to always be running in tip top condition and last for a very long time, then you should change your engine oil when it is due.

If you own a vehicle then I am sure that you have washed it before.  Many people simply water, rinse and dry their cars and do not even completely wash it properly.  Here are some tips too help you have a cleaner car.  One mistake many people do is to wash with detergent or dish washing soap.  These can actually damage your cars paint finish.  You should use soap specifically made for cars.  They only cost a few dollars and will actually clean your car better without damaging the paint.  It is also a good idea to pre wash some areas on your car such as in spots where there is road tar, dead bugs or bird droppings.  Special solvents can be purchased also but you can try baking soda and water but be sure that the baking soda is completely dissolved.  Many people also do not wax their car.  Waxing should at least be once every 3 months. One last thing is that you should do is to wash your car in the shade if possible.  Water can be dried up quite quickly especially in the summer time and this results into leaving calcium spots on your car (the small white spots).  This can be a pain to clean but there are also substances that you can purchase at a local parts store to help get rid of them.  There is also a lot useful way to clean up the interior but I will get to that another time.  Hope these tips help you keep your car squeaky clean.

Imagine if all the stars in those movies were starred in one big action packed movie. It has come to reality with “The Expendables” movie. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and more other manly tough figures. Read the rest of this entry »
