As the temperature drops, the oil becomes thicker and stickier, making it more difficult to circulate and reducing the chances of the engine starting successfully in frost. Old oil or its low level cannot protect the engine from corrosion. We are talking about automobile oil.
According to automotive experts, changing the oil before cold weather prevents starting problems and reduces the risk of premature engine failure. Combustion and corrosion products accumulate in old or unsuitable oil, causing the oil to solidify at low temperatures.
This can cause the oil to not circulate efficiently in severe frost and, as a result, damage the engine. Changing the oil on time before the winter season increases the reliability of the car, especially in older models that may be subject to a lot of wear. For the winter season, experts recommend using synthetic oils that better retain their properties at low temperatures.
For cars with high mileage and engines with signs of corrosion, it is necessary to choose oils with additives that help restore gaskets and minimize oil leaks. These oils maintain and restore the elasticity of the technical rubber parts of the engine.
The additional detergent properties help fight deposits and even keep the engine running when certain components are worn.
