FAQ

Recommendation: Perform oil changes every 8,000 kilometers or 6 months.

Factors Influencing Interval: The interval can vary based on oil type, driving conditions, and driving habits (e.g., highway driving vs. stop-and-go traffic).

Synthetic oil has many advantages over conventional oil.

1. Pour Rate: Synthetic oils maintain consistent flow rates across a wide temperature range, providing superior performance in both low and high-temperature conditions.

2. Longevity: Synthetic oils degrade more slowly and resist deposit formation better than conventional oils, resulting in a cleaner engine, improved fuel efficiency, and extended engine life.

Assessment: If you notice a noise that was not present during your previous drive, it is a strong indicator for a mechanical issue requiring attention.

Immediate Steps: Safely pull over to the roadside (preferably the right side) and turn off the engine immediately to prevent engine damage.

Safety: An overheated engine can take several hours to cool down. Do not attempt to check coolant levels in the radiator. Increased pressure raises the boiling point of the coolant – when that pressure is released (by opening the cap), the coolant will flash-boil, creating a geyser of hot oil that can cause serious burns and bodily harm.

Action: Pull over immediately, as a flashing check engine light indicates a severe issue.

Next Step: Call a tow truck; continuing to drive with a flashing check engine light risks damage to the catalytic converter.
