What’s hiding under your rocker cover? 👀🔧
This is a perfect example of why regular servicing and the correct oil are so important and why it doesn’t matter that your car doesn’t do many miles. And ignore these new longer service intervals if you want your car to last!
We went to this customer the other week to do a service as they not long got the car. We noticed the oil filter hadn’t been changed for awhile and during our checks, diagnosed an oil leak. We went back to sort it and once the rocker cover came off, we were met with a pretty nice build-up of old oil, sludge and deposits around the top of the engine. Imagine this going round the engine 😳
When servicing is neglected or oil is left in for too long, deposits like this can build up and potentially lead to much bigger (and more expensive!) problems.
🚗 Keep on top of your servicing
🛢️ Use the correct specification oil
🔧 Don’t wait for a warning light before giving your car some attention!
