Your engine oil and your valves are two critical components of your vehicle. If your engine oil isn't right, it could slowly ruin all the intricate parts of your car and leave you with an extremely high repair bill. If there's a problem with your valves, your vehicle will have limited functionality, which will eventually become a complete lack of functionality.
One way that you can stay on top of both of these components is to have special testing done. We can perform an engine oil analysis or an engine valve failure analysis if you think there's something wrong with your vehicle.
If you're lucky, you will see some of the signs of poor oil quality before it causes any permanent damage to your vehicle. One of the signs that your oil isn't up to par is an oil change light. The purpose of the light is to let you know that you've missed a recent oil change, and you need to change it ASAP. Your oil might have a dark and dirty appearance if it isn't good. In the worst cases, it might have a thick consistency or even have small clumps in it. You may see other signs such as exhaust smoke, strange smells or knocking or tapping sounds if the oil quality has affected your engine. You need to get something done quickly in any of these cases. Your car's life depends on it.
