Oil is the lifeblood of any engine. Without it, your engine would seize almost immediately. An engine needs plenty of oil to ensure that metal components are correctly lubricated and operating smoothly. It prevents ‘metal-against-metal’ wear, which can deposit tiny pieces of metal into your system and cause catastrophic damage to the Lexus.

Oil works well on its own, but it’s even more effective when you add an oil treatment.

What is an oil treatment?

An oil treatment is a simple additive that:

•  
• Minimises friction resistance
• Help protect against engine wear by providing a thicker cushion between moving engine parts
• Neutralizes aggressive combustion acids
• Protects against corrosion

It can also dislodge deposit sludge from delicate areas of the engine to prevent undue wear and tear. It can also reduce overall emissions by improving your fuel economy. That makes oil treatments not just kinder to the planet, they’re kinder to your wallet too.

Are there different kinds of treatment?

Yes. Not all additives perform the same tasks. However, the products used by the specialist teams at Al-Futtaim Lexus ensure that every part of your engine is well protected. Some additives available on the open market can actually do more damage, so an oil treatment is best left to a professional who will have access to the correct treatments that are compatible with the make and model of your engine.
