We all know that car and bike needs engine oil as it
protects them from corrosion at high temperatures. Bike oil protects the engine
from sludge as well as from the other engine gunk. However, the thing is there
are numerous myths regarding engine oil change and so on. In this blog post, we
will break those myths and will let you know how you can maximize the performance
of your two-wheeler with Veedol bike oil.
1. Once upon a time, almost all of the automakers
recommended changing the engine oil in 3000 miles, but, nowadays it became a
myth. New age detergent oils are more advanced and allow cars to go around 7500
miles approximately. The main reason behind this thing is advanced automobile
engineering and improved oil viscosities.
2. One more thing you will hear that synthetic engine oils
can cause oil leakages. It was somehow true and yes! It ‘was’ true in the early
1970s and oil manufacturers learned the reformulation procedure long ago. Nowadays,
it is nothing more than a myth.
3. Another wrong conception regarding engine oil is
regarding the nomenclature of the oil category. The “W” in a 10W-30 oil does
not represent ‘weight’, instead it represents “winter”. Actually, the viscosity
of any engine oil changes with temperature and this viscosity is measured in
two ways – single grade & multi-grade. A multi-grade oil gives you both the
cold and hot viscosities. That means in a 10W-30 Oil, the 30 is the same as
represented by SAE-30 (Society of Automotive Engineers). While “W” is
representing the viscosity of the oil in winter.
4. One of the most frequently thought conception about
engine oil is, you need is change it as soon as it turns dark. However, this
conception is not right. A dark engine oil means it doing its work just fine
and dispersing the tiny particles (that causes sludge) and holding them in
suspension what they are meant for. Of course, the oil has a limitation of how
many of these suspended particles it can hold and that is why it is always
recommended that follow the change interval recommended by your car’s
manufacturer.
Therefore, if you want to stop spending unnecessary amounts,
break these myths and stop unnecessary engine oil change.
