Enhance Your Vehicle Maintenance Knowledge
After owning a Ford Fiesta for more than 3 years, Mr. Hoang Quan, the Deputy Finance Manager at a foreign company in Ho Chi Minh City, shared his experience, saying, “When I first purchased my car, everything seemed fine. However, after about a year, I started encountering issues such as engine stalling, high fuel consumption, and accelerated engine wear and tear. Every time I took it for maintenance, it not only cost me time but also money, without resolving the root cause of these problems.”
After struggling with these car issues, Mr. Quan happened to come across an article that revealed the startling fact that “75% of engine wear and tear occurs during start-up.” This discovery made him realize the underlying cause of his car’s troubles.
“Further research revealed that in congested urban traffic conditions, where constant stop-and-go situations are prevalent, frequent engine starts and stops can significantly contribute to engine wear and tear,” added Mr. Quan.
When the engine is turned off, the oil returns to the oil pan. When the engine is started again, it takes around 20 minutes for the oil to reach an optimal operating temperature. This critical 20-minute period accounts for 75% of engine wear and tear.
Simplified Car Maintenance with the Right Oil
Upon understanding the root cause of his car’s rapid deterioration, Mr. Quan made it his mission to find a solution. He noted, “An experienced mechanic guided me on proper car maintenance and recommended the use of Castrol MAGNATEC engine oil to safeguard my engine during start-up. Its intelligent molecule technology forms a protective layer on the engine surfaces, akin to a magnet, ensuring a constant presence of oil even when the engine is inactive.”
Lubricating oil plays a pivotal role in establishing a protective barrier between the engine surfaces, minimizing wear and tear, and facilitating seamless operation.
The engine stands as the most crucial component of a car, dictating its power and longevity. Consequently, selecting and utilizing the appropriate engine oil to care for your vehicle’s “heart” is of utmost importance.
“Since the mechanic introduced me to Castrol MAGNATEC, I’ve witnessed a significant transformation. The engine no longer produces peculiar sounds during start-up, operates more smoothly, and exhibits reduced fuel consumption,” remarked Mr. Quan.
“Caring for my car has become significantly easier. Now, I embark on every journey with confidence, especially when traveling with my family, knowing that I have Castrol MAGNATEC as my reliable companion, safeguarding our safe passage on any road,” added Mr. Quan enthusiastically.
Selecting the appropriate oil for optimal car maintenance not only shields the engine but also ensures safe driving, safeguarding yourself and loved ones.
