Breakeryard.com is urging motorists to make sure they check their engine oil levels after experiencing a huge surge in requests for replacement engine parts over the past five months. Order requests for replacement engine parts have increased dramatically since June 2009, making up 21.7 per cent of the ten most common orders for car parts in that period. Gearbox and transmission parts were also highly sought after during the same period, with both manual and automatic transmissions making up just over 20 per cent of the top ten most requested parts. The figures have prompted Breakeryard to remind motorists to perform simple maintenance checks on a regular basis to avoid a potentially huge financial headache in the future. Checks such as oil and water levels, which should be checked at regular intervals and both before and after long journeys, form part of the essential basic maintenance which will help drivers to keep their engines healthy and minimise the risk of major problems in future. The importance of maintenance will take on greater significance in the winter months, as lower temperatures can cause oils to thicken and increase the rate at which batteries discharge.
