We can help you keep your 4WD Off Road with AMSOIL! If you’re like us here at Stokes Abode, then you love the outdoors.

Getting out in the sun, the rain, or even the snow where you can drive and drive, finding your tracks and making your way – there’s just nothing that matches the thrill and excitement that outdoor adventure can bring. While many drivers see their experiences limited by their regular everyday cars, Amsoil Dealer Norm Stokes at Stokes Abode understands that to get a true sense of adventure; you need a 4WD.

How to easily Protect and Keep Your 4WD Off Road with AMSOIL

If you’re new to owning a 4WD/4X4 and are just learning about the specific engine maintenance requirements that it brings, or you’re a seasoned adventurer always looking for ways to improve the performance and extend your engine’s lifespan. Most important is you have to learn how to best keep your new 4WD Off Road without equipment failure caused by using inferior products not designed for the grueling enviroment.

This post gives you some information on what’s happening inside your 4WD/4X4 engine as you drive, and what it needs to perform so that you can extend the lifespan.

Let’s start with the Most Likely Adventures – Camping Trips.

Most of us love to get out when the sun is at its peak, as most adventures go but we like to our 4WD Off Road without breaking down.

We put our 4WD engine and drive trains to the test with extreme heat to get where we want, constantly pushing to keep moving.

While we don’t want to discourage driving in high temperatures, it’s often this time that can cause damage inside your engine and drive train.

While a 4WD engine is running, it generates a high amount of heat, even more than a regular engine. Add to this the sun’s rays constantly beaming down on your machine, and those temperatures don’t go anywhere except up. This is a tremendous strain on the running gears making it hard to keep 4WD Off Road without a mechanical failure.

When this occurs and the temperatures get too high, it can cause conventional oil-based lubricants to break apart. Tiny oil impurities break away from the main flow of the liquid and start to collect throughout your engine.

While this starts as tiny and unnoticeable amounts of damage, as you drive, these buildups are growing, often in the most intricate parts of your engine where important components collide and interact.

Your engine and its internal components can’t complete their full function or operation because this build-up doesn’t allow it.

Imagine a baseball batter who can’t pull the bat as far back as he needs to get the full power when he goes for a swing. Similar instances occur inside your engine, whereas buildup can prevent parts such as pistons from completing their full stroke.

The concern with this level of damage is that it’s often not noticed until it’s too late, with motorists unaware of the drop in performance and constantly keep pushing their foot harder on the gas pedal.

This type of damage, however, is preventable without requiring an in-depth level of mechanical knowledge. Synthetic-based engine oil has developed with additives included in the refinement process that work together to prevent oil breakdown, ensuring all additives remain in the oil flow and don’t break apart to create buildup.

If you’re new to synthetic oil, speak with an expert at Amsoil Dealer Norm Stokes at Stokes Abode (253) 381-1550. Norm has extensive experience with synthetic oils and can explain how high-quality synthetic oil in your engine will help you. Norm will ensure you get the right AMSOIL products to keep your 4WD on the road for longer.

Longer Synthetic Oil Change Intervals

One of the many complaints that we hear from 4WD adventurers is that their level of adventure and driving takes too hard a toll on their conventional oil, making them feel like they constantly have to pour more and more oil into their vehicles.

We respond that they aren’t wrong with this feeling. In addition to the breakdown mentioned above, the heat also takes another toll on conventional oil lubricants – oxidation making keeping 4WD Off Road a challenge without taking care to do everything possible to prevent bre4akdown..

When the temperatures get too high, the low-quality nature of conventional oil can’t handle it, and it begins to evaporate, leaving less and less oil running through your engine each time you drive.

Extend Your Top-Up Frequency with a Synthetic Oil Change

For these adventurers, we suggest switching to a high-quality synthetic oil lubricant that has been designed to not only withstand breakdown under extreme temperatures but resist oxidation, leaving more oil in your 4WD to keep it protected as you drive.

If you feel like you are constantly topping up your oil or you’re just looking to protect your engine from damage and extend its lifespan, speak with Amsoil Dealer – Stokes Abode at (253) 381-1550. With an extensive range of high-quality synthetic oil lubricants available, professional advice and products are available for even the newest 4WD owner.
