Apex Tuning

Engine and Exhaust System

Engine Repair
Let me preface this first installment of our Oil Tech series by saying I am definitely the engineer type, and the years I’ve spent in the automotive industry have led me to ask a lot of questions about how things work and why things happen. So, how does the oil in your engine work? As i learn more about lubricants and their properties, I’ve become almost overwhelmed by the complexity of the duties the oil in your engine performs. Each new post will discuss another important factor in your oil’s performance, longevity, potential issues, or just things I find cool about lubricants.

Oil Change
This is why it is important to maintain a regular, reasonable oil change interval with a high quality oil that meets the manufacturer’s specifications. Removing the contaminants and acids from your engine will prolong the life of the engine, not only by reducing the potential for corrosion or wear due to dirty oil, but also by reducing the potential for engine sludge. In addition to regular oil changes, keeping the PCV system functioning properly will help alleviate corrosive blow-by gasses and moisture from remaining in the crankcase.

Fuel Injection Service/Repair
Since we work solely on Volkswagen and Audi vehicles, some of the information will focus on these applications, and is generally related to port injected engines (rather than direct injected) engines available in these makes. However, the information can be easily applied to other makes and models, as well as other fuel injection configurations. This information is for electronic fuel injection systems and does not apply to Jetronic (CIS) mechanical fuel injection.

Air Conditioning Service/Repair
Group V base stocks are all oil base stocks not classified under Groups I-IV. These are typically created using a polyol ester (POE) or other esters, polyalkylene glycol (PAG), but Group V oils could be any oil that is not created from distilled petroleum or PAO. These are not as common in engine oil applications, and POE/PAG oils are more commonly found as a compressor lubricant in refrigeration systems, such as your car’s air conditioning system. There are, however, some ester-based engine oils on the market today.
