A diesel engine ignites through a process called compression ignition. As air is drawn into the engine cylinder, it is compressed by the rising piston to a point where the temperature of the air is raised to a very high level. This elevated temperature is sufficient to ignite the diesel fuel that is then injected into the engine cylinder near the end of the piston's compression stroke. The injected fuel ignites upon contact with this hot air and the ensuing combustion pushes the piston back down. In this way, unlike in a gasoline engine, there’s no need for a spark plug to ignite the fuel.
Subpar engine oil may have a thicker and darker appearance compared to new oil. This change in color can be attributed to a buildup of dirt. metal particles. and other contaminants. In contrast. standard engine oil should have a clear amber hue. However. factors such as high temperatures or engine wear over time can cause the oil to deteriorate. diminishing its ability to lubricate and cool engine components effectively. Additionally. if you happen to observe milky oil. it may be indicative of coolant mixing with the oil. potentially caused by a faulty cylinder head gasket. It is crucial to routinely monitor the color and texture of your engine oil in order to maintain its optimal functioning. Any deviation from the desired state serves as a warning sign that an immediate oil change is necessary to avoid potential harm to your engine.
Pressure washing your engine can be safe if done correctly, but it carries risks. High-pressure water can force its way into electrical connectors and components, potentially causing short circuits or corrosion. Modern engines, with their intricate electronics, are particularly vulnerable. If you decide to proceed, cover sensitive areas like the alternator, intake, and electrical components. Use a lower pressure setting and aim to avoid direct spray on connectors and wiring. It’s recommended for superficial cleaning rather than a deep clean. Some mechanics suggest that, unless there’s a significant buildup affecting performance or for cosmetic reasons in used car sales, it might be better to leave well enough alone or use gentler methods. Always consult your vehicle’s manual or a professional for advice tailored to your specific engine model.
