We at Torque group understand that regular oil changes are crucial if you want your powersports vehicle’s engine to remain in excellent condition. It’s the reason our Platinum Maintenance program comes with Oil Care Plus—to ensure every powersports enthusiast has a budget-friendly way to care for their ride.
Here are some consequences of not changing your powersports vehicle’s engine oil on a regular basis:
1. The oil becomes filthy
Oil reduces friction inside your engine. Over time, however, the thickness and texture of the oil change. The coarseness of dirty oil can boost the degree of friction, and in turn increase the risk of wear and tear of internal engine parts.
2. The engine becomes prone to overheating
When a vehicle engine is running, its moving parts rub against each other resulting in intense friction and extremely high temperatures. As mentioned above, oil helps lessen such friction. If you don’t regularly change your oil, this friction may become so critical that it increases the likelihood of the engine overheating.
3. Engine performance suffers
Engine oil serves two vital purposes: the protection and lubrication of the engine’s internal moving parts. However, the consistency of the oil deteriorates over time on account of the extreme conditions it goes through when the engine is in use. When that occurs, the oil in your engine won’t be as effective and becomes incapable of delivering adequate performance.
4. The engine noise becomes deafening
There’s something amiss when the engine gets painfully loud or when it starts producing weird noises. This is a definite sign it needs an oil change. Neglecting such a warning could lead to serious engine damage.
5. The engine prematurely ages
Oil protects the engine’s moving parts as it provides the coating that helps components withstand exacting conditions. Without proper oil replacements, these components will get impaired, which in turn can lead to the premature aging of the engine.
