How often should you change your car’s engine oil?
A recent promotion to raise awareness about car maintenance, had drivers in Kampala given lessons about the properties of lubricant, Shell Helix.
For car owners, the maintenance of their vehicle is not only a matter of pride but a critical factor in ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of your cherished automobile.
Among the various aspects of car maintenance, one crucial element that often escapes attention is the regular change and use of lubricants.
Lubricants play a pivotal role in the well-being of vehicle engines. They serve to reduce friction between moving parts, prevent wear and tear, dissipate heat, and contribute to overall engine efficiency. Without proper lubrication, your engine becomes susceptible to damage, leading to costly repairs and a shortened lifespan.
To keep an engine running smoothly, it is imperative to adhere to a consistent lubricant change schedule. The frequency of oil changes depends on several factors, including the type of oil used, driving conditions, and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
In Uganda, where the climate can be diverse, and road conditions vary, it is advisable to change one’s lubricants every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometres or as recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
A recent promotion to raise awareness about car maintenance, had drivers in Kampala given lessons about the properties of lubricant, Shell Helix.
“Shell Helix offers a diverse range of lubricants tailored to different driving conditions and engine types. Whether you are navigating the bustling city streets of Kampala or tackling the challenging terrains of rural Uganda, Shell Helix has a variant that suits your car’s specific requirements,” said an official from the world’s top lubricant supplier.
