Engine oil and filter
Most Singaporeans usually have to drive during peak hours where they have to endure slow-moving traffic along most expressways in hot weather. Having an engine idle for too long under hot ambient temperatures is disadvantageous to the engine.

Engine oil tends to degrade gradually with time, which results in a proportionate reduction to the protection provided to the engine. Engine oil and the oil filter should be changed regularly to provide good protection against daily wear and tear.

The oil filter separates carbon and other fine metallic deposits, which are residues from the combustion process and mechanical wear. When there is a high level of harmful chemicals in the oil, it reacts with the engine oil and this affects the protection the engine oil provides to the engine parts. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the engine oil and filter at stipulated mileage to ensure good quality of engine oil in the lubrication circuit.
