Protecting the Engine
Oil protects the engine and its different parts from irreparable damage. The main purpose of oil in the engine is to lubricate the engine and different parts. This lubrication stops the parts from overheating and ensures the smooth working of the parts without friction. Once level gets low or it becomes thin, it will not able to lubricate the parts well. Friction will produce and further heats up the engine and its parts. It may results in engine seize or broken parts – a severe damage.

Frequency of oil change varies from vehicle to vehicle, as in a gas powered vehicle, oil change is recommended after every 3000 miles. This frequency of oil change is different in different vehicles powered by diesel engine.
