Working out in the thresholds of a car: there are more minuses than pluses
Since ancient times, a person has been using engine oil that has worked out its time in the household. Hunters work out in the places where the wild boar comes - the beast gets rid of parasites with the help of black manure. She processes logs in houses to protect them from decay. And finally, used oil is used by the drivers themselves, pouring it into the cavities of the thresholds and believing that this will prevent corrosion. On the one hand, they are right. However, there is another side of the coin - the negative one. The AvtoVzglyad portal has figured out what the use of mining is for the power frame of the car.
Pouring mining into hollow rapids is not a new idea. In the absence of high-quality anti-corrosion chemistry, this method was used by drivers in the USSR. Yes, and today there are many who want to save money and reuse what they once paid for. And it is worth noting that, on the one hand, working out is a working option. In the properties of used motor oil, there are still additives that prevent corrosion. However, all this is not for long. And that's why.
After serving 10-15 thousand kilometers in an internal combustion engine, literally all the main properties of the oil change for the worse, from cleaning and lubricating to anti-corrosion, for which the base number of the lubricant is responsible. The longer the oil has worked in the engine, the lower its base number. And equally worse are the anti-corrosion properties that protect the internal surfaces of the power unit.
Oil poured into the thresholds does not displace moisture, if any, but covers it from above, preventing contact with oxygen. Thus, moisture will not go anywhere, because the oil film will not allow it to evaporate. In turn, the rusting process will still develop. A little slower, but it will. And we all see the results of such “processing” on the roads of the country every day - huge holes gape in the thresholds of cars.
In addition, working out in rapids is not hygienic. Oil, one way or another, will leave through small cracks and drainage holes, soiling not only the asphalt, but also the parking place, whether it is a place in the yard, underground parking or a personal garage. In turn, you will drag all this sticky slurry on your boots home, into the passenger compartment of the car, and drive it around the parking lot with tires.
Therefore, if you really love your car, use specialized aerosol compounds to protect its iron, which are easily applied to the internal cavities of the thresholds thanks to long tubes.
However, it is even better to contact a specialized service, where all the dirty work will be done for you, having processed not only the hidden cavities of the body, but also the bottom of the car. Thus, the highest protection of the car against rust is achieved. And it is much more reliable and environmentally friendly.
