Modern car engines have come a long way since their humble beginnings, and while most are still fuel-injected, they do contain a fair amount of electronics and sensors that provide important information to the electronic control unit in order to ensure the engine works optimally. One such important sensor is the manifold absolute pressure sensor, also known as the MAP sensor.
Replacing engine parts due to wear or fault can be costly and time-consuming. It's a lot easier to replace the oil first before the engine suffers any damage.
When engines are running, they produce huge amounts of heat and friction which can lead to oil breakdown, or 'wear-out'. When this happens, components begin to wear out, causing possible mechanical failure. This can be avoided by regularly changing the engine oil. Changing your car's engine oil every 6 months or 5000 kilometres is one of the most cost-effective ways of protecting your car from mechanical failure.
