Volvo smoking exhaust History of oil
On September 6, 1866 American John Ellis founded the Continuous Oil Refining Company (Later to become Valvoline). While studying the possible healing powers of crude oil, Dr. Ellis was disappointed to find no real medicinal value, but was intrigued by its potential lubricating properties. He eventually abandoned the medical practice to devote his time to the development of an all-petroleum, high viscosity lubricant for steam engines ? then using inefficient combinations of petroleum and animal and vegetable fats. He made his breakthrough when he developed an oil that worked effectively in high temperatures. This meant no more gummed valves, corroded cylinders or leaking seals. In 1873 Ellis officially renamed the company to Valvoline after the steam engine valves the product lubricated.

Buying car parts
Currently, one of the most popular places to advertise merchants selling car parts is the Internet. This is where we can choose to buy any parts, usually used to our car. For many people they know to some extent on the mechanics of the vehicle can be a considerable saving. Self-replacement auto parts, however, is not easy and you have to show a really good knowledge of a particular car model, in order to correctly perform it. Therefore, although there is a large group of customers willing to buy auto parts, there is no shortage, however, those who prefer to outsource servicing of cars to those skilled in this area by sending your car to the garage.
Service and maintenance - why so rarely?
As you know, most of the people going to the car service decides to take this step due to the sudden emergency situation and still persisting problems with the car. Of course, there are also compulsory inspection of cars, but apart from a cursory check the performance of our car hardly anyone decides on a thorough diagnosis of the car. This is primarily associated with costs that have to be incurred in connection with the sometimes very costly repairs and replacements of car parts. Often the repair turns out to be also unprofitable, because it exceeds the value of the car. In such cases, the best solution would be to sell the car.
