OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts for Your Car: How to Choose
APF posted a topic in General Auto Parts Discussion,
When selecting parts for a car repair, it pays to know the differences between original and aftermarket parts. Whenever possible, get estimates for both.
Choosing between original and aftermarket car parts — and even used parts of either type — is all about squaring your priorities with your budget.
You’ll have different options depending on the part and the shop. And the best choice will depend on whether you’re trying to keep repairs cheap, restore your car’s appearance after a wreck or soup up your ride.
Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts match those that came with your car, and are of the same quality as its original parts. They’re also the most expensive.-

Replacement Intervals For Oil And Air Filters In Today’s Vehicles
APF posted a topic in Automotive Wipers, Filters, Oil & Lubricants,
The factory-recommended replacement intervals for filters can vary quite a bit depending on the year, make and model of the vehicle, as well as how it is driven. As a rule, older vehicles (those more than 15 to 20 years old) typically have more frequent service intervals than newer vehicles. Why? Because late-model vehicles require less maintenance, thanks to improvements in motor oils, transmission fluids, engine design and filter media.
Many long-life air and oil filters use synthetic fiber media or a blend of cellulose and synthetic fibers to extend filter life.
Changing the oil and filter every 3,000 miles was standard practice decades ago. But it’s no longer necessary because most multi-viscosity oils today are a synthetic blend or a full synthetic that resist viscosity breakdown and oxidation for a much longer period of time. Late-model fuel-injected engines also run much cleaner than their carbureted ancestors, which reduces oil contamination in the crankcase.-

1. the method of checking the oil level with oil dipstick
First of all, if the car is running, stop the car first and shut down the engine for 10 minutes or so. This will return all the oil to the oil pan. With dipstick, see the specific method of oil dipstick (1) pull out the oil dipstick. Be careful. If you want to check the oil quantity, it must be in the case of vehicle cooling. If you just drive back, or the engine is running, it will be useless to see this. (2) cleaning up oil stains. After pulling out the oil dipstick for the first time, wipe the dipstick blade with a clean paper and then insert it. The second time you pull out the oil dipstick to see the amount of oil on the scale (3). If the oil is between the upper limit and the lower limit, it means that the oil quantity is normal. The so-called upper and lower limits generally have scales, which can be clearly seen.
2, the method of checking the oil level without the oil dipstick
The car without the oil dipstick is generally an electronic gauge. The cars of each brand show that the small sense of the same is generally added with the oil, the level of the oil will be shown as idle speed is running a little while.

The measuring rod part of the oil gauge
The measuring rod part of the oil gauge generally has three structures: steel wire, steel belt (Bian Chi), and many winding wires. Among them, spring steel wire is commonly used in steel wire structure, and the material is hard, which is suitable for the relatively slow bending ruler tube. The multi strand wire is easy to insert and plugged in the bending scale tube, but the price is higher. The material of flat ruler generally chooses 0.8mm~1.2mm stainless steel strip, and the price is relatively low. As the core part of the ruler, the head of a ruler is the most important part of the ruler. In the drawing, it is easy to rub with the ruler tube that matches with it. The particles produced by the friction will fall into the lubricating oil. The unclean lubricating oil will cause great wear to the bearings of the engine. In the indicator part of the scale, the head can be designed as a roller structure, which is not only effective. The scale has reduced the tube pulling force of the ruler and reduced the scraping of the ruler head and the ruler tube.
For the oil gauge with steel strip structure, in order to make the gauge clearly indicate the position of the liquid level, it is easier for users to read the oil gauge. Generally, the head of the flat ruler is treated with sand blasting or press mesh, and some rhombic pits can be set on the head of the plastic. These pits are disconnected from each other, so that the oil can climb up the trough under the siphon effect, which affects the accurate reading of the scale.

The oil dipstick is a common part in the engine lubrication system. Its core function is to ensure that the oil of the engine oil bottom is in a reasonable range, and also has the function of sealing the crankcase and providing support for other accessories. Although the structure is simple, it is essential on the engine. Oil gauge is widely used by automobile manufacturers at home and abroad because of its cost advantage over oil level sensor. The oil dipstick is usually used in combination with the ruler tube, so that the user can easily understand the oil level in the engine and ensure the engine oil storage in a reasonable range.
Reliable lubrication of engine is guaranteed by lubricating oil rice. Too much oil or too little will affect the normal operation of the engine. The addition of the lubricating oil must be appropriate. When the oil in the engine oil bottom is insufficient, the engine is not lubricated and the engine is badly lubricated. The engine will seriously damage the engine. If the engine oil is too much oil, the engine will stir the engine oil sharply in the end of the crankshaft and connecting rod, not only increases the engine power in the engine, but also increases the power inside the engine. Loss, but also will increase the amount of oil splashed onto the cylinder wall, resulting in the phenomenon of burning oil. Therefore, the engine oil sump must be controlled within the proper range.
