How to Know if Your Engine Needs Servicing
Without a trained ear or the knowledge-base of a mechanic, knowing which click or clunk or dashboard light your car is showing, can be difficult to diagnose. However, there are a few ways to detect if engine mechanical service is needed. These include:
Check Engine Light
This will, of course, be the first indicator via your dashboard. Sometimes this light comes on due to faulty wiring, but it is something we will be able to diagnose quickly and should be prioritized.
Odd Sounds
From grinding to knocking, odd sounds coming from your engine could be an indicator of engine concerns, or simply indicate the need for an oil change.
Emissions
An increase in exhaust smoke, or noticeable exhaust smoke in general, can also be an indicator you need your engine looked at.
Additional things to be aware of:
- Decreased power and fuel efficiency
- Oil leaks
- Overheating engine
- Rough idling or random stalls
Ensuring you keep your oil topped up keep your maintenance schedule up to date, can help guard against engine issues. However, if you notice any of these signs or have concerns about your engine’s performance, bring your vehicle in for servicing.
