Ideally. engine oils can typically be stored for a period of five years. depending on factors like composition. container material. and storage environment. Synthetic oils tend to have a longer lifespan compared to conventional oils. To ensure proper storage. the oil should remain in its original. unopened container and kept in a cool. dry location away from direct sunlight or drastic temperature changes. Air exposure or contaminants can expedite decomposition. Before using. it is advised to check for any changes in consistency or color regardless of how it was stored. Consulting the manufacturer’s guidelines can offer specific storage instructions and aid in preserving the quality and efficacy of the oil.

Q will a little diesel hurt a gas engine

The wrong fuel can cause significant damage to your car engine. Diesel fuel in a gasoline engine could cause knocking and pinging. Worst of all, it can cause damage to the engine’s cylinder wall and pistons, which can be expensive to repair. Moreover, diesel is a heavier, oilier fuel compared to gasoline. Hence, the vehicle isn’t likely to run at all. In any case, if you accidentally add diesel to a gas engine, you should have the tank emptied before starting the engine to avoid any potential damage. Calling a professional mechanic for advice is highly recommended in this situation.

1. Overheating Engine: Your engine may overheat if coolant is leaking into the engine. An overheated engine can cause more problems like blowing the head gasket or warping the head. 2. Sweet Smelling Exhaust: When the coolant leaks into the engine’s chambers, it gets burned along with the fuel. This process will produce a sweet-smelling scent from the exhaust which is characteristic of the presence of ethylene glycol, a component of engine coolant. 3. Milky Oil or White Discoloration on the Oil Dipstick: When coolant mixes with engine oil, it often makes the oil appear milky. Check your oil dipstick and look for any creamy, frothy white or tan substances – this could be a sign that coolant is leaking into your engine. 4. Recognizable Leaks or Puddles Under the Car: You may notice a bright green, pink or yellow (depending on the type of coolant you use) puddle under your car that indicates a coolant leak. 5. Poor Performance or Misfires: If coolant is leaking into a combustion chamber, ...
