Oil Oxidation and Viscosity Correction
Understanding Oil Oxidation and Its Impact on Diesel Engines
Diesel engines rely on high-quality lubricating oil to reduce friction, manage heat, and keep components running smoothly. However, over time, engine oil undergoes oxidation, a chemical reaction that degrades its quality and effectiveness. When oxidation occurs, the oil thickens, loses its lubricating properties, and can lead to engine wear, overheating, and even failure. At [Your Business Name], we specialize in diagnosing and correcting oil oxidation issues to keep your diesel engine performing at its best.
Our Oil Oxidation and Viscosity Correction Services
At HP Diesel Repair, we offer comprehensive solutions to combat oil oxidation and viscosity problems. Our expert technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to assess the condition of your oil and recommend the best course of action.
Clogged or Contaminated Fuel Filters
If your diesel engine lacks proper compression due to worn piston rings, cylinder head issues, or valve problems, it may struggle to start or not start at all.
Solution: We perform compression tests to diagnose internal engine problems and recommend necessary repairs.
Oil Analysis and Testing
We perform detailed oil analysis to detect signs of oxidation, contamination, and viscosity breakdown. Our testing includes:
- Measuring oxidation levels
- Checking for contaminants such as water, soot, and fuel
- Evaluating viscosity index to ensure proper oil flow
Oil Additive Solutions
In some cases, oil additives can help restore viscosity and slow down oxidation. We offer:
- Antioxidant additives to neutralize oxidation reactions
- Viscosity stabilizers to maintain proper oil thickness
- Detergent additives to keep engine components clean
Engine Flushing and Sludge Removal
If oxidation has already caused sludge buildup, we perform a professional engine flush to remove deposits and restore clean oil circulation.
High-Quality Oil Changes
Regular oil changes are the most effective way to prevent oxidation-related issues. We use premium synthetic and semi-synthetic oils specifically formulated for diesel engines to provide superior protection against oxidation and viscosity loss.
Cooling System Maintenance
Overheating accelerates oil oxidation. We inspect and maintain your radiator, coolant system, and engine thermostats to keep operating temperatures within the optimal range.
