Oil on motorized vehicles reduces friction between metal components, cleans metal fragments of rapid friction, and keeps the temperature inside the car cool and avoid excessive heat symptoms.

The use of oil, both cars and motorcycles have a certain life to make the vehicle is in top condition, for example the period of car engine oil changes.

The authorized workshop usually recommends changing the engine oil every 10,000 kilometers (km) with normal use, but if the car is often through the streets or traffic jams, such as the rise of oil change period to 5,000 km.

The period of oil change is not infrequently considered trivial. This can be seen from the lack of vehicle owners who understand about the change of oil regularly. In fact, late change the oil can make the vehicle less powerful, until the worst machine can not be turned on. This happens because of rising temperatures and reduced lubrication effect.

Although the oil change limit has been determined by the manufacturer, there is a tolerable excess distance limit for your vehicle. When passing 500 to 1000 km from the recommended time, the oil condition is still good, although it should be replaced soon.

But if passing from 1000 km, you should take the vehicle to the nearest garage to make oil changes. Because the engine oil is too long to use and cross the kilometer limit as suggested in the manual, will have a negative impact on engine performance. Particularly on important parts of machines such as pistons, handlebars, cylinder block, and other metal components on the machine.

Other damage caused by the old oil is not replaced causing the scratch piston and cylinder wall. In extreme conditions, such as dry oil and vehicles forced to walk the engine will falter, and the iron components will be sticky and required to perform a large service.

If this condition is left, you have to spend a considerable cost to reach millions of dollars. This depends on how severe the damage caused by friction metal that has worn due to the oil that has dried up.

As an illustration, if used cars use spare parts and brands that have a large network of workshops, the cost of replacing goods plus unloading services is not too expensive even though the price reaches millions of rupiah. But if the car used in the category of luxury cars, the price tag of spare parts can be up to tens of millions of rupiah.
