A regular oil change is essential for the longevity and efficiency of the vehicle. However, many people ask themselves how critical it really is to exceed the recommended time for changing the oil. The truth is that Overdoing the oil change involves various risks that affect both Performance as well as the Engine health can affect. Engine oil serves several important functions in the engine compartment: it lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, protects against corrosion, and helps keep the engine clean by absorbing dirt and debris. However, over time, the oil loses its lubricating properties and can no longer perform its tasks effectively. Furthermore, more and more impurities collect in the oil, which can damage the engine.
overdo the oil change
Overdoing an oil change can result in... increased engine load lead, which in turn shortens the service life. In addition, you can wear parts such as the camshaft or crankshaft wear out more quickly. The formation of deposits and Cement, slags, abrasives, coal & coke can clog ducts and the Oil circulation which in extreme cases can even lead to engine damage. The question of how long an oil change can be delayed without expecting damage is depends on several factors, including the Vehicle typewhich Age of the vehicle, the Oil quality and the Driving conditions.
In our opinion, 3.000 km is feasible
Let's assume a "commercial" engine, such as one Four-cylinder turbo or a common one six-cylinder out, then are 3.000 km also definitely something to get over. Assuming the service is due after 20.000 kilometers, then “under normal circumstances“Do not dismantle the engine directly into its individual parts after 23.000 kilometers. However, of course, this always depends on the engine, the conditions and the oil. For an engine that is already vulnerable ex works and whose service interval is already “too high” by the manufacturer (Keyword long-life service for AMG, RS, AMG etc.), you should perhaps even “previously“Change the oil.
It's better not to exceed the interval!
Modern engines and high-quality oils can often go longer without changing than older engines or oils of lower quality. However, it is risky to follow the instructions specified by the manufacturer maintenance intervals to be exceeded significantly. As a rule of thumb, a slight overtightening (a few thousand kilometers or a few weeks) usually no serious effects unless it is a regular practice. It is important to emphasize that changing the oil on time not only prevents potential damage, but also helps fuel efficiency contributes and the Resale value of the vehicle.
Additionally, vehicle owners should ensure that they always use an oil recommended for their specific vehicle model, as this also has a significant impact on engine performance and health. In summary, while overdoing an oil change may seem like a non-issue in the short term, it can lead to serious engine problems in the long term. Around the Performance, Reliability and Longevity of your vehicle To ensure this, it is crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil change intervals and not to delay them unnecessarily.
