  5. How often should we change oil in a classic car?

    classic car care

    Car oil is used to lubricate the moving parts of the engine, which helps to reduce friction and wear and tear. Oil also helps to cool the engine by absorbing and carrying away heat. It also helps to clean the engine by picking up dirt and debris and carrying it away.

    When the oil is pumped through the engine, it flows through a filter, which removes any impurities and debris. The clean oil then flows through various passages and galleries within the engine, lubricating the moving parts and helping to keep the engine cool.

    As the oil flows through the engine, it becomes contaminated with dirt, debris, and other particles. Over time, this can cause the oil to lose its lubricating properties and become less effective at keeping the engine clean and cool. That's why it's important to change the oil on a regular basis to ensure that the engine is always lubricated with

  7. Maximizing the Lifespan of Your Car Battery: A Comprehensive Guide

     car batteries

    A car battery is like a big power pack that helps your car start and run. Inside the battery, there are many small plates that are made of lead. These plates hold the electricity that the car needs to run.

    When you turn the key in the car, the electricity from the battery flows through wires to the engine, which makes the car start moving. The battery also provides power to lights, radio and other electronics in the car.

    To make sure the battery stays charged and can start the car, the alternator, which is like a little power plant in the car, recharges the battery while the car is running. This way, the next time you want to start the car, the battery will have enough power to make it go.

  9. Keeping rust away from your classic car

    classic car protectionRust is the common name for a chemical compound called iron oxide. It is formed when iron or an alloy that contains iron, such as steel, is exposed to oxygen and moisture for an extended period of time. The result is a reddish-brown, flaky substance that can weaken the metal and make it more susceptible to damage.

    In the case of metal surfaces, rust forms when the metal is exposed to oxygen and moisture. The oxygen reacts with the metal to form metal oxide. In the presence of water, the metal oxide further reacts with the water to form hydrated metal oxides, commonly known as rust. The rust forms a coating on the surface of the metal and can continue to spread, penetrating deeper into the metal and weakening it over time.

    Rust can occur on any metal surface, but is most common on iron and steel. It can be prevented by applying coatings such as paint, oil or wax,
