Driving a technologically-advanced Porsche is a joy, but just like all other automobiles, Porsche vehicles also require preventative maintenance, routine care, and regular service. If you are suspicious that something is impacting your car’s performance, it is best to call a trusted, certified mechanic. For those in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area, Dell’s Service Center has been specializing in European automotives for over 20 years.
Signs of Metal Shavings in Your Oil
Vehicles are frequently used, so when our vehicle isn’t operating normally, it’s noticeable. Sometimes when our vehicle’s are giving us problems, it is because our car’s oil has become contaminated.
If your oil is contaminated you may experience a reduction in power accompanied by a slow acceleration or rough idling. Both of these symptoms are a result of improper lubrication, causing friction between the engine’s components, creating vibrations, and forcing the engine to work harder for a lessened performance.
If there is debris in the oil chamber, these loose fragments can cause detrimental damage as they get circulated throughout the engine repeatedly. This can lead to knocking sounds, worsened lubrication, and loud ticking.
The most reliable indicator that something is wrong with your vehicle’s engine is the check engine light. If your check engine light comes on, or you are experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms, you should take your vehicle to a professional for them to have a look.
Causes of Metal Shavings in Oil
Metal shavings may appear in your oil for a variety of reasons. Poor quality oil and gas may exacerbate the engine overtime. Much like a person’s diet and how you need good quality food to keep your body running at your best, your car needs high-level gasoline and oil to keep it at its peak performance.
Additionally, it’s important to remember your car is a machine that reliably works hard to get you and your passengers safely to destinations. While protecting you on the road, the car is subjective to general wear and tear while in route and running.
Preventing Contaminated Oil in Your Porsche
The best way to prevent metal shavings in your car’s oil, is by taking your vehicle in for regular service and maintenance. By having professionals routinely change your oil and service your vehicle, they’ll check parts of your vehicle you can’t see to prevent not only preventative damages, but also prevent much of that added stress that comes with car troubles.
