PROS AND CONS OF USING SYNTHETIC OIL FOR YOUR CAR.

Désolé, cet article est seulement disponible en anglais américain. Pour le confort de l’utilisateur, le contenu est affiché ci-dessous dans une autre langue. Vous pouvez cliquer le lien pour changer de langue active.

Oil is essential in providing lubrication to the internal parts of the engine. It is also responsible for cooling the engine. Heat is produced any time you ignite your car’s engine. It needs to be cooled down or else it may destroy the internal components. This calls for engine oil at all times. The lubrication property prevents the internal components from grinding against each other.

The use of oil began over ten thousand years ago with our forefathers and ancestors. It began by using oil from animal products to vegetables and plants. Later in the years to come, a big discovery was made. The black gold. By then, the automobile sector had started revolutionizing. The two world wars also contributed a lot to the advancement and that is when the focus on engine oil began. Car manufacturers specifically wanted something new for their products. From faster engine speeds to an increased bearing load. All that could only happen with oil that was thicker and heavier.

This led to introduction of the modified oil that we currently know as the ‘’synthetic oil’’. This article will weigh down on the pros and cons of this oil. However, never consider using your car without an extended warranty. It is meant to safeguard and secure your car from damages and expenses associated. Check us out at A-Protect Warranty Corporation. Keep reading!

 

Pros.

 

Conventional oil reigned up to 1997 and this is when the newly engineered ‘’synthetic’’ oil began to influence driver’s decisions. This type of oil is made from chemical compounds with similar molecules enhanced to produce less friction and more lubrication. This makes your car run more efficiently and perfectly. The stability and handling of the car become good compared to using the conventional one. Below are some of the pros or rather the advantages of using synthetic oil.

 

  1. Fewer impurities.

 

A running engine always picks up dirt particles and tiny metal fragments due to the constant running of the internal parts. This small debris and fragments might not seem to harm your car. However, the likelihood of something catastrophic happening to your engine is very high. These particles affect the normal functioning of the engine and reduce its life. Frequent breakdowns begin and are usually very expensive to manage. Unlike using conventional oil, the synthetic one is always thinner and has its molecules altered. This means that it cannot carry with it impurities over time.

 

  1. Has less friction.

 

The internal parts of an engine always grind against each other every time you hit the road. This generates a lot of friction between these parts and therefore leads to constant breakdown. Synthetic oil is always made with precision and extra engineering to provide enough lubrication to the grinding parts. Reduced friction means that your car’s engine will not get exposed to the risk of damage.

 

  1. They do well in extreme temperatures.

 

The raw material behind the structure of an engine is metal. The mechanism involved inside the engine generates a lot of heat which needs to be cooled down by the oil. The ordinary conventional oil doesn’t do well in extreme hot temperatures. They depreciate faster and tend to evaporate. The science in a synthetic oil is something out of the ordinary. It is made to withstand scorching temperatures generated by the engine hence providing extra protection.

 

CONS.

 

  1. Costly.

 

Despite this kind of oil being very efficient and reliable, you need to spend a couple of bucks than normal to get it off the shelf. This is because of the hard work and quality all blended to produce something extraordinary. You do not expect it to something pocket friendly. But as we all know, cheap is expensive. Opting to buy conventional oil also comes with consequences. Imagine after every 3,000 miles, you need to do an oil change. By the time you are doing the second oil change, a person using synthetic oil is thinking of doing one.

 

  1. 2. Can’t be used by old models.

 

Yes, the world is changing, we cannot do away with the old stuff for the new ones. Old is gold! The old models dating back in the 90s can’t use the new product in town. This is because their oil systems still use deposits as sealing. The purpose of the new synthetic oil is to clean the deposits. This will lead to leaks that make your engine exposed to dirt and debris affect its normal functioning.

 

Conclusion.

 

We need to give credit to the guys behind the invention of this great product. Synthetic oil is something else you really must try with your car. However, be sure to use the above information before getting one. It has advantages and disadvantages that you now know. Your car’s engine life matters a lot. It is why we are here as A-Protect Warranty Corporation. We offer amazing extended warranty deals you don’t want to miss. The life of your car is our topmost priority.

REASONS WHY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FACES LIMITATIONS AND HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.

Désolé, cet article est seulement disponible en anglais américain. Pour le confort de l’utilisateur, le contenu est affiché ci-dessous dans une autre langue. Vous pouvez cliquer le lien pour changer de langue active.

An extended warranty is a coverage warranty purchased for a car, be it new or used. Its purpose is to cover repair charges and expenses you as the individual should be responsible for. However, our human minds have been set that whatever thing we hear or see has got to have limitations. Getting an extended warranty is not a waste of time since it guarantees coverage of your car in any circumstance bad events occur. There are providers out there, some good while others bad. Services and prices of policies differ amongst them.

Here at A-protect Warranty Corporation, we offer the best-extended warranties ranging from basic ones to more complex ones. Our team of well-dedicated customer care and selected service centers are ready waiting for you.

We all have to agree that there is nothing soo clean and pure with zero errors. To some extent, an extended warranty has limitations which are down below as you keep on reading. But this should not make you change up your decision of getting an extended warranty. We A-Protect Warranty Corporation offer amazing deals you should never miss.

 

Extended warranty does not include health coverage.

 

In case a catastrophic event happens and you get injured, only the car’s damage expenses will be covered. You will be left out This is the reason why many opt to go for the insurance policies that are inclusive of third-party individuals. 

 

Does not cover all repairs.

 

Extended car warranties do not cover everything that is under the body of a car. Don’t fall for a sweet deal without asking about the extent of the coverage. You need to be sure of the parts which are covered so that in case of a repair claim, you get sorted out. There are a variety of plans which are meant to cover different parts of the car. Always go through the fine print with care and note out specific details such as the parts included in different plans and those that are emitted. This will guide you all through. There are two main plans;

  • Powertrain- This is a policy that covers parts of a car that are engaged in the process of locomotion such as; Engine, driveshaft, and transmission.
  • Bumper to Bumper- It is a much comprehensive kind of warranty that covers everything from the rear bumper to the front bumper. These parts are; The car’s electronics, audio system, and air conditioning.

Make sure to ask the provider for more details and clarification concerning the type of coverage you opt to buy. 

 

Basic maintenance needs to be done by yourself.

 

Remember, not all the burden of maintenance and taking care of your car will be left to the provider. This is because an extended warranty doesn’t cover damages that arise due to a lack of maintenance. You are required to do some regular maintenance practices by yourself. These minor activities include; Battery performance check, oil exchange, transmission, and another basic fluid checkup. This could lead up to draining your wallet to cater for those small maintenance issues. Apart from the monthly premiums increase the rate at which you spend your own money. You may also end up calling to make a void claim for a simple task such as thread check which you are required to do by yourself. Go through the fine print well and note out parts that your car has been covered.

 

The chances of using an extended car warranty are minimal.

 

Similar to getting life insurance, the chances of you using it are usually low. Yes, disaster rings no bell but at times it just doesn’t happen that often and faster. This means that you may be paying for something you will never use. But then another question pops in. What if you get yourself into very serious issues that you can’t meet financially? This is when you will remember that extended warranty you neglected or ignore. If you purchase it then be sure that someday it will save and help you a lot.

 

 Conclusion.

 

The fact that an extended warranty has got limitations is undebated. As we know, almost everything has setbacks. This should not interfere with your aim of safeguarding and securing your car. No matter what circumstances, we all want to maintain our high investments and assets with the highest possible means. An extended warranty despite the mentioned setbacks is perfect for that.

We all want to give our cars that love and care as much as we can. But despite all the efforts we put in place, breakdowns will never be inevitable. Sometimes damages do occur and demand a lot of money to repair. All these happens either with the road conditions or just normal wear and tear. The sad thing is now being unable to meet the repair expenses associated with the damages. This is why A-Protect Warranty Corporation is here. Purchase an extended warranty from us and secure your vehicle from any damage-related expenses that could arise as a result of bad road conditions.

Bad road conditions affect the transmission system.

 

This is one part of a car that is very vital in ensuring the wheels of your car move. It is responsible for converting the energy from the engine into mechanical energy. This process happens through a series of events which include gears and belts that convey power from one another. A hilly road makes your car’s transmission more vulnerable to damage and breakdown. The rate of damage increases if you are fully loaded past the maximum required weight and going uphill. This generates stress to the internal parts of the transmission system causing drastic wear and tear to the gears.

Any failure to the transmission system is something you don’t want to hear of. This is because repairing the transmission systems is very expensive and replacing them is even more. However, this should not be a point to worry about. We got your back especially if you are mostly exposed to such conditions.

Weaken the car’s suspension.

 

Bad roads are very harmful to the suspension of your car. Suspension is responsible for smoothing out your ride and providing proper handling and control. In other words, the suspension system increases the friction between the ground and the tires. The system is made up of the chassis which supports the cab of the car, springs that hold up the weight of the car and also absorb road shocks, and the anti-sway bar which is used to shift movement of the wheels. All these parts need to be in good form and shape so that you may experience a smooth ride. Bad roads which are filled with portholes tend to weaken the suspension system over time. Frequents bumps into these holes reduce the functionality of the shock absorber. Overloading is also another problem. A weakened suspension means that the stability of the car reduces together with control.

 

How to survive bad road conditions?

 

A bad road on condition is amongst the leading factors globally of road carnages. No matter how perfect you are, you can fall victim in any circumstance. Bad roads are very dangerous to the life of the driver and the cars too. Poor road conditions include; Portholes, slippery roads after rain, Faded road markings, road debris, and ice patched roads after snowing. There are several ways in which you can about while suing such kind of roads.

  1. Adjust your speed- Speeding on bad road conditions is like digging your own grave. Also, slow down and drive at a steady speed and keep your eyes on the road.
  2. Avoid portholes or ice patches- It is wise to evade them since portholes for example could be deeper than you thought.
  3. Maintain a safe distance from the cars in front of you. This will help you avoid portholes rather than being too close to a car and driving blindly.

 

Conclusion.

 

There is nothing very troublesome and worrying than driving on a road that has poor conditions. This is one way of trying suicide with your life and that of the car. Poor road conditions carry a lot of catastrophes you don’t want to get yourself in. Your vehicle can get damaged anytime and anywhere and at the same time, you might get injured too as a result.

Désolé, cet article est seulement disponible en anglais américain. Pour le confort de l’utilisateur, le contenu est affiché ci-dessous dans une autre langue. Vous pouvez cliquer le lien pour changer de langue active.

Powertrain is a composition of parts in a car that are responsible for the movement of the car. This means that all the parts that are involved in the conversion of engine power into actual movement of the wheels. These components include; Engine, Transmission, Axle, and Differential. All these parts are vital in a car whereby a failure in any of the above can get you stuck. Because these parts are important, you need to keep an eye on them at all times.

Malfunction and breakdown are common in the powertrain parts. This article will highlight some of the common causes behind the malfunctioning of these parts.

 

Powertrain malfunction.

 

Any time your car’s informative display shows a powertrain warning light, it should be a matter of immediate concern. If you go on without being vigilant then you are in for a rude shock. Signs of a powertrain malfunction are; Reduces speed, Unusual handling, Overheating, and Growling noise under the bonnet. You need not waste any time. Visit a service center with immediate effect. Through A-Protect Warranty Corporation, you need only to make a claim call then all is well.

 

Reasons behind powertrain fault.

 

The powertrain system is similar to the heart and brain of us humans. Made up of vital components. Without their normal functioning, a car won’t move an inch unless pushed. The faultiness is usually more with cars that have been used for a while or are older. Below are the specific powertrain parts and reasons for their malfunctions;

 

Engine.

 

It is one of the parts that form up the powertrain system. We always want our cars to be in smoothest working condition ever. But without maximum care and protection to the engine, then forget it. Many automakers always perfect the engine of their models one after the other. Hard work and ingenuity are usually in place at high levels. The fact stills remain that there will be no machinery that is immune to damage. Here are the reasons which cause most of the engine failures for our cars.

 

1.Failure to get an oil change- Oil change is necessary for your engine after every 3,000 miles unless you are using synthetic oil. Oil is responsible for lubrication and regulating the temperature of the internal parts. After driving for given miles, you need to change it for another since it loses quality over time

 

2.Engine detonation- When you hear a noise under the bonnet, visit the mechanic at once. If you prolong driving with that noise will cause permanent damage to the pistons, head gaskets, and piston rings. This problem is usually a result of the generation of too much heat in the combustion chamber.

 

3.Blocked engine radiators– The radiator is responsible for engine cooling. You need to avoid using hard water since it corrodes the radiator over time. A failed radiator will cause overheating to the engine.

 

Transmission.

 

The transmission system is also important. It is responsible for the conversion of engine power to the wheels. It can come as either manual or automatic depending on the car’s model. The physics behind it is very complex hence the need for more care and protection.

 

4.Low transmission fluid– Overheating is a serious problem which you should never a low for your transmission. It is a real killer for most of the transmissions out here. Transmission fluid is responsible for cooling down the transmission. The levels need to be at the right amounts to avoid any inconveniences.

 

5.Solenoid problems– Solenoid is responsible for regulating the flow of fluid through the transmission. The common sign of solenoid issues is slipping of the transmission.

 

Conclusion.

 

As we can see above, the powertrain system comprises important parts which need to be taken good care of. Failure to do so, you are in for a rough experience. This is because the cost of repairing damaged parts of the powertrain is expensive. You can spend over $3,000 and above $2,000 to fix an engine and transmission. What if you can’t manage?

CARE AND MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR USED CARS

Désolé, cet article est seulement disponible en anglais américain. Pour le confort de l’utilisateur, le contenu est affiché ci-dessous dans une autre langue. Vous pouvez cliquer le lien pour changer de langue active.

Just like our own bodies, cars are made up of parts that depreciate over time and require repairs. Failure to do so may lead to more serious problems which can turn your once precious toy into a rotting piece of metal in a junkyard. Damage and breakdown are inevitable in cars, sometimes the repair costs surpass our pocketability. Parts such as the engine and transmission are amongst the most expensive parts to repair. This calls for maximum care and protection for your car to avoid being a victim of spending high on repairs expenses.

Before getting deep down with the maintenance and care of your car, don’t forget about a used car warranty. This is a coverage plan which you can purchase for your used car either from the car dealerships or a third-party provider. Please don’t rely so much on the factory’s warranty if your used car has it since it doesn’t last long. It is wise to make sure before you purchase it to confirm with the previous owner if it had warranty coverage.

 

Ensure you go through the owner’s manual.

 

Make sure to go through the car’s manual keenly and note down key information about the car. This includes; tips on how to maintain and take good care of the car, warranty information of the car, and other features of the car. This will enlighten you concerning the issue of a warranty on the car. Expenses associated with huge repairs are one thing you need to avoid. Make sure your used car has a warranty on it. If not, get one from us.

 

Confirm with your engine coolant.

 

This section in the engine acts as an anti-freeze since it where special chemicals are put in to make the engine run in even colder weather. When an alert pops in on your car’s info displays, it means that your engine is overheating. It is advisable to regularly pop under the hood to check the fluid levels by yourself. In cases where you hit the road for a road trip or long-distance travel, always carry with you an extra coolant. This will help you in case you get impromptu alerts about the engine is overheating or rather low levels of the coolants. Engine coolants need to be changed after every 5 years. Also, don’t forget about the extended warranty. This will be very useful in case your car runs into engine-related issues. 

 

Check on wheels.

 

 A car’s wheels are very vital and need extra care and protection. 

A slight issue on the tires and rims is very life-threatening to the driver, passengers, and pedestrians. Don’t wait till it’s too late to fix, make it your mandate to check your tires all time to make sure the pressure is balanced. Before igniting your car, make sure to check with your wheels. Running on imbalanced wheels can cause damages to the car’s chassis and axle. Used car warranties are here for that, one of the benefits enjoyed is the free wheel spinning that is done annually. This helps put your car in good form and shape. Make your wheels a concern by covering them with one of the used car’s warranty policies.

 

Change oil regularly.

 

The engine’s oil is one important fluid that runs inside the engine every time your car is in motion. It is responsible for cooling and providing lubrication to the engine. It needs to be changed every 5,000 miles since the lubrication property of it diminishes over time. Failure to change it over time is calling problems upon others. First, failure to change your oil will cause the formation of sludge. It is caused by the frequent heating and cooling of the oil. The sludge becomes thick hence not moving freely inside the engine. Second, the lubrication property of the oil reduces over time. Using the oil beyond the maximum period is of no help to the engine. This means that the internal components of the engine grind against each other bringing causing friction. A used car warranty is inclusive of the oil change. This will ensure your engine is healthy and stable to run for more years.

 

Drive carefully.

 

Good driving habit pulls you closer to a healthy and well-performing car. Always make sure you treat your car with care while driving. Avoid reckless driving with acts such as emergency braking for no reason, engaging gears without proper flow, overspeeding, and overtaking carelessly. All these habits are very harmful to the life of the car. Transmission and engine-related issues may arise and as we know they cost several bucks to get done with. Secure a used car warranty and be on the safe side.

 

Check on battery life.

 

There is no way you can start a car without a battery unless you opt to jumpstart the car. Cleanliness and regular checkup will ensure the life of your battery is longer. Corrosion on the terminal will hinder the flow of current needed to power up ignition and other accessories. The rust and corrosion formed on the battery terminals also pose permanent damage to the internal battery cells. That will call for a replacement.

 

Conclusion.

 

A car needs protection and care for long smooth use and experience. You need to put into practice the above points in case you wish to keep your car for a long period. Used cars are usually exposed to very many risks since most of them are usually used over a long time and in one way lack a warranty on them.

Automobiles are usually made up of many parts starting with the basic one to more complex ones. All these parts have a role to play in a vehicle. Amongst the critical and vital parts are the engine, transmission, compressor, chassis, and axle. These parts are very key as they all play a synchronized role while makes a vehicle move. The transmission is one of the critical parts that is usually attached to the engine. In simple terms which we all know of it as the ‘’gearbox’,’ The transmission system is usually attached to the engine via a belt and gears whose role is to convert combustion power into momentum.

When the accelerator is pressed, the fuel together with air is usually pumped into the combustion chamber. Ignition occurs and gases that are expanding explode inside the chamber pushing the pistons up and down. The process is always continuous and proceeds further to the spinning of the crankshaft by the pistons. The crankshaft now turns all these to the movement of the wheels. This is generally how the engine works.

Transmission now comes into effect in regulating the amount of power produced by the engine. This affects how fast or slow your car moves. It ensures that the wheels get a moderate amount of power that is not too fast or too slow. Through a series of belts and gears, a transmission system does a lot of tasks. From ensuring the stability of your engine to changing gears depending on speed and acceleration.

 

How transmission works.

 

All gearboxes work in a similar manner be it manual or automatic. Below is a simple summary of how that works;

  1. Selected gears move and connect.
  2. The gear lever moves the clutch plates and links them with larger gears. These large gears are linked to the differential of your car.
  3. The movement of the gear lever affects the sets of gears tuning hence ensuring a stable power supply to the wheels.

 

Types of transmission.

 

Since time memorial, automobiles have evolved with time and this has brought a significant change to the kind of transmission fitted in vehicles. We have still had the oldest and simplest forms of transmission in the game. Amongst the types of transmission in use are; Automatic transmission, Continuous variable transmission (CVT), Semi-automatic, Dual-clutch transmission, and the well-known manual transmission. But in this case, we are to compare a Conventional variable transmission and automatic transmission.

 

Conventional variable transmission(CVT).

 

This is currently the most commonly used form of transmission in many new models. It is not that different from the original traditional automatic, only a few changes have been made making the driving experience seamless. The driver doesn’t need to shift between any forward nor backward gears or use the clutch. This kind of transmission uses an unlimited amount of gears to provide that smooth driving at any time. Combined work between two opposing cone-shaped pulleys and a belt running between them is the mechanism that is used by this form of transmission. One cone shape is usually fixed to receive the engine output while the other is linked to the wheels.

 

Automatic transmission.

 

Mostly referred to as the simple form of transmission and once considered a luxury. It is in fact one of the complex types of transmission. The basic way in which automatic transmission works is through the use of sensors and oil pressure. The sensors trigger the gears to shift and that is done with the help of internal pressure. The clutch is done away with and what comes in place for it is the torque converter. It is responsible for shifting gears.

 

Benefits of driving with a CVT transmission.

 

  1. Enhance fuel economy thus you won’t spend a lot on fuel.
  2. Small in size and weighs less.
  3. Has fewer components and is less costly.

 

Benefits of driving with an automatic transmission.

 

  1. Great driver engagement.
  2. Has a good relationship with the engine.

 

Conclusion.

 

At the end of the day, we all never want to spend a lot when it comes to the maintenance of a car. A car’s transmission is one very vital part that needs to be up and running. Between the two transmissions above, the point to note out is that CVT is more reliable and compatible to use. It provides that smooth and flawless experience everyone wants while driving. The fuel economy is also another factor. The CVT will save you a lot due to its fuel economy. A car’s transmission is one part that falls into problems more often and needs extra care and maintenance. Failure to do so could lead to complete transmission failure whose replacement costs something you never want to hear!
