Why even high-quality new consumables can overhaul the engine

Excessive care for the car is not only good for him, but often also harms. And quite strong. Even high-quality spare parts, coupled with excessive attention to the owner’s car, can bring the engine of the “iron horse” to serious repairs. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells what not to do in order not to get into the “capital”.
Let’s start with the oil filter. Experienced mates attach a neodymium magnet from a computer hard drive to the case. It is believed that in this way the branded full-flow part will work even more efficiently by retaining metal wear products. That is possible, but there are also disadvantages. If too many chips have accumulated in the body and the magnet has become detached from the shaking and fell on the road, the slag will immediately spread throughout the oil system and leave streaks on the cylinder walls. It is better to place it not on the filter housing, but under the crankcase and tighten it more tightly.
You must be careful with low viscosity oils. The fact is that in modern engines the oil channels are narrow, for example, designed for 0W20 lubricant. However, if you pour such a composition into an old engine, where the gaps are relatively large, the oil pump will not be able to create the necessary pressure. As a result, there will be no protective film between the rubbing parts, which will radically increase wear. As a result, the unit will “die” quite quickly.
And if you use too viscous grease for a long time, then on a modern steel “heart” serious wear of the pump pressure reducing valve, the pump itself or phase regulators is possible.
How to choose the “right” lubricant? First of all, you need to carefully study everything that is written on the labels. And also remember that the already mentioned 0W20 product should not be used in Euro-3 and lower environmental class engines. Above, please.
Caring mates often adjust the spark gap on the spark plugs. Even if these are products from well-known manufacturers. Adjustment is performed by bending or bending the outer contact. It is important to do everything right here, otherwise the “company” will not work well. With small holes, the spark loses intensity, and with large holes, it changes color, indicating that there are no flashes in the engine. This threatens to interrupt his work.
Finally fuel. You do not need to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and fill the tank with 92nd gasoline. Modern cars don’t like that. If you do this regularly, detonation will occur, which will lead to serious problems.
