An engine is typically considered seized when it cannot turn over, largely due to internal components becoming locked due to lack of lubrication, overheating, or mechanical failure. Key signs include an inability to start the car with a clicking or grinding noise, indicating the starter motor can't turn the crankshaft. Another indicator is if the engine does not crank when attempting to start, and instead, you hear electrical components activate but no movement from the engine itself. To confirm, manually rotate the crankshaft using a wrench on the crank pulley. If it doesn't move, your engine is likely seized. Immediate professional assessment is advisable to determine the extent of damage and whether repair or replacement is the best course of action. Ongoing maintenance and timely oil changes are crucial in preventing such occurrences.
To determine if your engine oil needs changing, start by checking its color and consistency. Fresh oil typically has a light amber color, but as it degrades, it darkens due to contaminants. If the oil on the dipstick is thick, black, and gritty, it's likely overdue for a change. Another indicator is the oil level; if it's consistently low, it might be burning off due to engine issues. Pay attention to unusual noises or performance declines, as these can also signal oil-related problems. Engine oil does more than just lubricate; it cleans, cools, and protects engine components. Over time, heat and engine operation break down oil, diminishing its effectiveness. An odd smell, like burnt oil or gas, can also indicate that the oil is contaminated and no longer protecting your engine efficiently. Regularly checking and changing your oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations is crucial for maintaining engine health and performance.
