This article describes what motor oil is and then talks about the usefulness of oil change coupons.
Motor oil is used for lubricating different combustion engines. Usually it is to make the moving parts move easier,
cleans them, improves the seal on the moving parts, helps protect the moving parts from being corroded, and it cools the engine itself by carrying the heat away from the moving parts and helping reduce friction, which also helps keep the amount of heat down produced by the moving parts, so that the engine does not overheat.
It is made from petroleum-based chemicals. Though it can also be made from non-petroleum synthesized chemical compounds. They are usually made up of hydrocarbons, which basically means that they are made up of organic compounds that consist pretty much entirely of carbon and hydrogen.
This product is used in any internal combustion engine, which includes motor or road vehicles like cars and motorcycles, but also bigger vehicles like buses, snowmobiles, boats, and big equipment used in farming and construction. It is also used in trains and aircrafts.
The reason that the product helps improve the energy output of the motor is because it reduces friction, which is a waste of power, because it converts that energy to heat instead of using that energy to run the engine. The liquid reduces the amount of friction, so it reduces the amount of energy lost to heat.
Sometimes the product picks up little bits of metal that wear off of the parts that it is supposed to be lubricating, so it sometimes accumulates those bits of metal and then those bits rub up against the parts wears down those parts, even though the product is supposed to be keeping those parts free of wear. The product does go through a filter, but over time the pieces can still build up, especially if the filter becomes clogged, which is will over time. So it is important to get your product change frequently.
Many different places can do the maintenance, and they often will even offer oil change coupons. These oil change coupons can often be found on the maintenance place's website. If you go to the same garage often, then they might even send you oil change coupons in the mail.
Depending on how often you drive and the amount of miles you drive can all affect when it is a good time to get it changed. Shorter trips, under ten miles are actually worse on your product than longer trips, because for the short trips, it doesn't heat up enough to burn off condensation and other contaminants. When these do not burn off they lead to sludge and other deposits that can clog up the engine. So for people that do a lot of city driving, which usually involves short trips, it is recommended that they get it changed more often than people who go for long drives. Some manufacturers might even have engine computer calculations that will estimate the condition based on the factors that degrade it, which can then let you know when you should change it.
