Issues if Oil Change Is Neglected around Las Vegas
Sludge Buildup
Over time, the oil lubricating the engine loses its lubricating properties. This, combined with the constant movement of the piston, loss of viscosity, and contamination by dust and debris, causes the oil to form sludge. The sludge, instead of easing the movement, makes it more difficult, contributing to friction, corrosion, and overheating in the engine. Rather than letting it build up to the point of no return, get an oil change and oil filter clean-up service from us at Paladin Automotive here in Las Vegas.
Engine Damage and Overheat
An engine lacking lubrication will experience increased friction on its components, which in turn generates more heat. Friction with time causes corrosion of the engine components. An overheating engine burns any fluid coming into contact with it, along with damaging nearby heat-sensitive components.

Turbocharger Damage
The turbocharger is integrated with the engine to enhance the vehicle’s performance and relies heavily on the engine oil. With a focus on assisting in speed and acceleration, the turbocharger constantly requires lubrication. Irregular or delayed oil changes, low oil levels, and old, contaminated oil can cause the turbocharger to malfunction, sometimes to the extent of seizure. When you encounter this issue, contact us at Paladin Automotive for assistance with repairing and servicing your turbocharger in Las Vegas.
