DPF-Diesel Particulate Filter

I thought that this article would be a great follow-up to the last one about MOT changes. Of course, the changes will not be coming in until next May. Mechanics and MOT testers  will know all about the DPF and the illegal removal of it.

DPFs Represent the Unsung Heroes of Halifax’s Struggle to Achieve Cleaner Air

Howdy, fellow residents of Halifax! Let’s have a conversation about diesel particulate filters, often known as DPFs, which are extremely important for the air quality in our gorgeous town as well as for the health of your vehicle.

Especially if you are a frequent customer at the Pellon Autocentre

In Halifax, you have most likely heard a few tidbits about them while you were at your neighbourhood garage or while you were enjoying a cup of coffee.

What exactly is the commotion about diesel particulate filters (DPFs), particularly for those of us who drive diesel motors? The use of these ingenious devices is essential to reducing contamination. Imagine the charming streets of Halifax, from the bustling activity of the market to the peaceful walkways of Shibden Park.

We all want to make sure .DPF-Diesel Particulate Filter

that they continue to look and feel magnificent, right? That’s where DPFs step in, catching soot and other unpleasant particles from diesel engines and making sure they don’t mess up our air.

So, let’s talk about turkey now. In what way does this DPF thing function? Imagine that it is a silent watchdog in your exhaust system, capturing small particles before they are able to make their way into the atmosphere.

The filter requires a decent “regeneration” on a regular basis.

This is a technical word that refers to the process of burning off this soot at high temperatures, which helps to keep the filter clean and functional.

It is possible for diesel particulate filters (DPFs) to become clogged, particularly if you are merely toddling around town for brief periods of time, such as a brief visit to The Piece Hall.

Whenever they become obstructed.DPF-Diesel Particulate Filter

Your engine may have a slow feeling and consume more gasoline, and the air quality may also suffer as a result.

Our dealership, Pellon Autocentre, which is located in the middle of Halifax, is experiencing a significant number of DPF problems. It is necessary to keep a close eye on this essential component.

If the warning light for your diesel particulate filter glows, it is time to get it checked out; don’t waste any more time!

The maintenance of your DPF is not beyond the realm of science.

It is essential to perform routine maintenance, and a good run on the highway can be helpful in clearing it out. Having a motor that is well-maintained will result in a more contented DPF.

In order to comply with European pollution rules, diesel particulate filters (DPFs) were initially developed. It’s all about maintaining a clean air environment, which is something that we in the UK are quite concerned about. It is not only about automobiles; we must also take note of the state of our environment.

To summarise, the DPF is not merely another component

of the vehicle. The air in Halifax is kept clean and pleasant thanks to this essential piece of equipment that we have. It is recommended that you visit Pellon Autocentre if you are concerned about your DPF.

Every once in a while, we don’t mind having a conversation on how to keep your motor operating smoothly and how to keep our environment cleaner.

Stay safe on the roads.DPF-Diesel Particulate Filter

And let’s do everything we can to ensure that the air in Halifax is as clean as the air you would breathe in the countryside of Yorkshire in the morning!

Hence, the UK Ministry of Transport has decided to update the MOT test in May 2017. This should eliminate the grey area that exists at the moment.

Naturally, a DPF operates as an emission-reducing measure.

As a result, diesel engines trap particulate matter in the exhaust stream through the filtration process.

This process is an efficient and effective way of removing diesel particulate matter (DPM) from the exhaust stream.

During a ‘regeneration’ process, the soot collected is incinerated at high temperatures with virtually no residues.

An Analysis of the Crucial Function of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in Maintaining the Cleanness of the Air in Halifax

Welcoming you all! Modified MOT changes

The Diesel Particulate Filter, more often referred to as the DPF, is something that I would want to discuss today since it is extremely important not only for the health of your car but also for the lovely environment that we have here in Halifax.

You might have heard about it at your neighbourhood garage or while you were stopping by Pellon Autocentre in Halifax for a quick cup of coffee. Both of these places are located in Halifax.

What exactly is the big deal about DPFs, then?

This small gem is an important contributor to the reduction of pollution, and it is especially important if you drive a diesel car. Imagine the beautiful streets that we have in Halifax, from the lively environment of the Halifax Borough Market to the serene tranquilly of Shibden Park.

Isn’t it our goal to preserve them in the most pristine condition possible? By capturing the soot and exhaust pollutants that diesel engines produce, the DPF can help us achieve this goal.

It’s possible that you’re wondering,

“How exactly does this DPF thingamajig function?” Because it is located in your exhaust system, it acts as a silent environmental hero, catching small particles before they are released into the air.

In order to maintain the filter’s clarity and functionality, it is necessary for it to undergo a process known as “regeneration,” which is a fancy phrase for burning off this soot at high temperatures.

On the other hand, here’s the catch: Modified MOT changes

Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) have the potential to become clogged, particularly if you frequently drive small distances around town, such as to The Piece Hall for some shopping.

In the event that this occurs, your car may experience a loss of power, an increase in fuel consumption, and, to tell you the truth, it is not very good for the purity of the air.

At Pellon Autocentre: Modified MOT changes

which is located near the very centre of Halifax, we have a greater than average number of DPF problems. It is an essential component of routine car maintenance to keep a close eye on it.

Unlike the Christmas jumper from the previous year, you should not ignore the warning signal for your DPF if it turns on. At this point, it is time to get it examined.

You are probably wondering,

“How can I keep my DPF in tip-top shape?” and I am aware of what you are thinking. The first thing that can be helpful is to give your vehicle a good run on the highway.

This allows the DPF to heat up to the point where it can clear itself. Moreover, routine maintenance is essential. For a car to have a happy DPF, it must be adequately maintained.

Did you know that the DPF was developed in order to conform to the emission requirements that are in place in Europe? Here is a piece of trivia for you.

All of this is a component of maintaining the cleanliness of our air

which is something that we in the United Kingdom are quite enthusiastic about. The environment is not the only thing that we are concerned about; we are also concerned about our automobiles.

To summarise, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is not merely an additional component of your vehicle.

This component is one of the most important factors

that contributes to the cleanliness and freshness of the air in Halifax. Taking care of our lovely town and the areas surrounding it is the focus of this endeavour.

Visit the Pellon Autocentre if you have any problems

regarding your vehicle’s depreciation (DPF) system. When it comes to maintaining the cleanliness of our surroundings and the proper operation of your car, we are always up for a conversation.

Keep in mind that taking care of your diesel particulate filter (DPF) is not only beneficial to your vehicle, but it is also beneficial to our community.

Continue to drive cautiously, and let’s make sure that the air in Halifax is as clean as the morning air in Yorkshire!

DPF is short jargon for “Diesel Particulate Filter,”

a sort of catalytic converter for diesel cars. Many owners of diesel cars. Hence, here in the UK. Of course, have them removed. The DPFs are also cut open with cutting gear. So all the insides are removed, and then the DPF is welded back up.

This is, of course, illegal. The removal of the DPF helps the diesel cars perform better. Accordingly, the drawback is that the engines then release more pollution into the atmosphere.

It is an offence under the Road Vehicles Regulations: Modified MOT changes

to use a vehicle that has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions standards it was designed to meet.

Heavy fines for removing this from your car could be as much as £1000 or £4000 for a van owner. The Department of Transport, is looking to develop a machine for testing cars with a DPF fitted. Of course, at the moment, the regulations only say that a visual examination is required.

Good brakes are very important? it is brake check time again

However, you would be surprised at the number of drivers. Thus, that call came into my garage here in Halifax, Yorkshire. Panicking about the terrifying noise coming from their car when braking. We know straight away what this is likely to be?

The brake pads?

This problem manifests itself. Of course, when the car has not had a service for a long period of time.

When we check the brakes. Then, sure enough, the car will have worn out brake pads. Usually damaging the  brake discs. As a result, damage is caused. Because the lining on the pads has worn away completely. So it is down to the bare metal. This in turn wears away the metal discs (rotors), causing them to require replacement.

This is why I say that it is brake time again? The first warm summer weather is about to reach us here in Britain, and millions of us will be driving to the coast or a theme park. For many families, it will be their first real run out in their cars.

Brake Check Time.

This is why it is very important to have your car serviced, even if it is only once a year. Car servicing also includes checking your vans brakes.

Alternatively, you could simply have your brakes checked at your local garage or auto-centre. Many garages still offer a free brake check. If you see this in your area, then take advantage because it really is brake check time again.

Many of our customers here in Halifax, Yorkshire, are very sensible and do have a service before setting out on a day trip or, indeed, their annual holidays. We do often see cars that are broken down at the side of the road.

This could be avoided in many cases by having your car serviced, or at least by making sure that you have checked the car yourself before departing on your next journey, but do not forget that it is brake adjust time again?

Cheap Fuel Costs

Cheap Fuel Costs

Cheap Fuel Costs

Sales of the Nissan Leaf and other electric cars have dipped thus far in 2015, and automakers have resorted to price cuts to boost interest in plug-ins.

I did not think for one minute that the sales of electric cars would hold  up went he petrol prices came down. Cheap Fuel Costs are to blame.

Motorists think with their pockets?

If there is any way the motoring public. Hence, can save money on their motoring costs then they will. Accordingly, you have only to look at the large volume of part worn tyres. So, that are sold today to see that. For this reason, drivers will always try to save money. Wherever possible. In fact, they will travel miles to save a few pence per gallon.

I remember when we had previous fuel shortages, the Suez crisis, sticks in my mind. There was all sorts of talk from governments about the environment and how that horrible oil could be replaced, by a greener alternative. What happened?

Cheap Fuel Costs

As soon as it was all over and the price of fuel dropped we all went back to our old habits and the green thing was forgotten about.

I suspect that something like this will happen again with perhaps a few technologies sticking with us. I like the idea of the hydrogen fuel cars and the EV’s with a battery and a petrol engine to carry out the journey when the battery power ran out.

With the fuel price dropping again- Cheap Fuel Costs

the fickle public are reverting back to the cheapest cars, using the cheapest fuels and are not really concerned about the environment. The governments have warned us about the environment, but i do not think that we trust them any more.

www.pellonautocentre.com/blog

All drivers have been penalized in the past years. Especially, with high fuel prices. Cheap gas (petrol) has now returned and is a bonus to us all. Many car owners think very short term when choosing to buy a new car. My belief is that car owners are starting to shun the more expensive electric cars.

Because the  cheap fuel is the main reason.

The problem is that it only takes a world incident to force the prices up again, but many people only think about today. it is going to be a problem for the car makers to solve this problem, unless they bring down the price of the Electric cars and other technology driven cars.

The driverless car is closer than you think. But who will own and control these brave new machines: The traditional automakers or new tech giants?

The plot thickens?

Driverless cars

Now the giant Apple conglomerate is looking into developing driver-less cars to compete with the other giant, Google. This article looks at the unease that this is causing in the auto industry, amongst the car manufacturers.

Driverless cars
Driverless cars

Thankfully, I do not think that we will see many of these cars. As a result, in Halifax where my garage is based. Of course, I am certain that they will pop up somewhere in the country. Particularly where road conditions are better. I still can’t wrap my head around the idea of these things driving on our roads.

www.pellonautocentre.com/blog

autonomous cars in Halifax?

Although the technology is here, I just cannot get my head around the idea of driverless cars running around on our roads. Out of all the new inventions that we have seen in the recent past, especially in the car industry, this is the one that my brain just will not take in: driverless cars.

We will have lines of small driverless cars trailing each other as they go about their task of getting from A to B at 20 miles per hour. It reminds me of when I was a kid and used to watch Flash Gordon.

The upper levels of the cities had little cars all in a row, but not on roads as we know them but on sky roads. As kids, we thought that was the future, but it never happened.
This idea also reminds me of the London Docklands Light Railway, which has autonomous trains that automatically take passengers from A to B without any driver;

the safe thing is that they are on rails to guide them, whereas the autonomous cars will be battling against actual people who prefer to drive their own cars. I suspect it will not be too long before we see the first crash between humans and the driverless cars; that should be interesting.

Will autonomous cars ever take off?

I just cannot see it happening to a country like the UK with its busy, crowded roads; perhaps someone out there can explain to me how it will all work. For example, if there was a collision, who would be responsible for exchanging insurance information or even simply accepting blame?

I suspect it will be the human driver’s fault in any case, but if not, will the autonomous cars have to go to court? and show the images of the crash on the on-board cameras.
I am looking at this lightheartedly, but there are issues that will require ironing out before these things are let out on the roads.
Pellon Tyre and Auto-Centre offer car and van servicing and repairs to all makes of vehicles.

Moving onto 2024

Driverless cars, also known as autonomous vehicles (AVs), are rapidly advancing and gaining traction in the automotive world. As of 2024, many tech giants and car manufacturers, including Tesla, Waymo, and Uber, are testing and refining their AV technology.

These vehicles use a combination of sensors, cameras, radar, and AI to navigate roads without human intervention. In the UK, trials are underway in various cities, with the government aiming for widespread adoption by 2030.

The technology promises increased safety, reduced traffic congestion, and improved mobility for those unable to drive. However, regulatory, ethical, and safety challenges remain, requiring ongoing collaboration between policymakers, manufacturers, and the public to ensure a smooth transition to this futuristic mode of transport.

Electric cars-Not so eco-friendly – CNBC

Leave a comment

Electric cars

Electric cars

All-electric cars powered by coal electricity are potentially less Eco-friendly than their gas-powered counterparts.

Source: www.cnbc.com

This is something that many of us have been saying all along? These cars are not green because they charge up at coal-fired power stations?

Dirty power stations are powering our so-called “green” electric cars.

This is not a new idea; in fact, it is one of those stories that will not go away . Because of the politicians who have set the world racing. Hence, to beat their self-set climate emissions control targets,. In my opinion, what they really want is alternative energies.

 Other than the costly price of oil,. To replace gas-driven cars with electric driven cars.
All the leading national governments. Began to throw huge amounts of money into their universities. Thus, to help discover alternative fuels,. For this reason, they are greener and more sustainable than oil.

I must admit that I am impressed with the new research and development. Hence, that has come along in the past ten years. But at what cost. After all, wasn’t the world supposed to be in a huge recession?

Electric cars In my own field of business. Then there have been massive developments. Consequently, in battery technology,. So, even the tyre companies are making an effort to produce more fuel-efficient tyres.

Of course, that enables vehicles to reduce their emissions. Thus, by fitting these tyres to their products,.
However, I cannot get it out of my head. Incredibly, that these electric driven cars are now being produced.

As a result, “dirty” electricity is generating the electricity that is charging us.
Dirty electricity. Means that the power companies are using fossil fuels. Such as “coal” and “gas” . Hence, to produce the electricity that will eventually charge up these electric cars.

I think that we are all been hoodwinked. By our governments into pretending that they are going to save the world. By make it a much greener place, or even a totally greener place? But I may be pessimistic but I don’t think it will ever happen.
Coal is still a cheap form of energy. Although the UK says that we are going to use more nuclear power,

. We are talking years ahead. Anyway, nuclear power surely cannot be classified as “green fuel”.Look what recently happened in Japan. A horrific accident on one of their nuclear power stations.

Electric cars

The next problem to come along will be the problem of regulating the power companies and controlling the ever-increasing growth of home solar panel units and the ability of the public to be able to control their use.

At the moment, we are restricted to the number of panels we can fit onto each household roof, but in my opinion, we should be able to fit as many as we like and produce as much clean solar energy as we can, but sadly, we are restricted from pressure by the utility companies and can only produce so much power to go back into the national grid.

electric car


I feel that I am drifting a little now, but I cannot see how the issue of dirty electricity can be cleaned up, And one other thing?

The price of oil is now tumbling on the world’s oil markets, and I wonder what effects this will have on the price of developing alternative energies?

Van Brakes Require Regular Attention

Van Brakes Require Regular Attention

Van Brakes Require Regular Attention

Van Brakes Require Regular Attention

Your Van Brakes Require Regular Attention and are the ultimate defense against the accidents.

Van Brakes Require Regular Attention; A good informative article about the need to look after your car brakes? although there are many such articles, this is a better one. it shows how important it is to look after your cars brakes and have them serviced at regular intervals.

This also includes VANS? Van Brakes Require Regular Attention

Vans are often filled to their capacity and the brakes are used much more and  faster than the average cars brakes. So if you are a van driver, then make sure that you have your brakes checked at regular intervals. Van brakes can wear down much faster, and are put under much more road stress than say, the regular family car.

I am not accusing van owners of neglect, but they are often pushed to the limit by their delivery schedules. I presume that the large fleets of vans, such as parcel companies, have some sort of night service scheme. Any brake problems can then would be corrected through the night, before it was loaded.

The other scenario is the one man driver owner.

Here at Pellon Autocentre, in Halifax UK, we try to give our van driving customers a quick turn round. This saves them some time? The only problem is that Van Brakes Require Regular Attention. When the servicing

Van Brakes Require Regular Attention
modern van Hand brake showing the shoes assembly clearly

times have been stretched  it usually means that the brakes will be in a bad way, when they are finally examined.

Worn brake pads lead to worn  worn out brake discs,

if they are left too long without any brake examination. Worn brake discs can then lead to seized up brake calipers, or worn out and leaking brake cylinders. Deteriorated, brake cylinders then lead to contaminated brake shoes and less efficient braking.

Van drivers and car drivers should be fully aware of having un-safe and dangerous brakes, so the message is have them checked at regular intervals.

Brakes Fail

Leave a comment

Brakes Fail

Brakes Fail
Brakes Fail

Brakes Fail
Actually, is this going to turn out to be a good article? Drivers think that it will never happen to them, but believe me, it is more common than you think. Here are a few ways that may help you in this situation:.

Keep Your Cool and Remain Calm


Don’t panic, first of all. It is presumably easier said than done. Remaining composed, though, will enable you to think more clearly and respond to the circumstances more skillfully.

1- Test the Brakes Once More
Sometimes the hydraulic pressure can be built up enough to get them operating again by repeatedly hard and fast pumping the brake pedal. Before attempting more extreme steps, it’s worth a try.

To assist slow the automobile down, use the Engine Brake Shift to a lower gear. By this technique, which is called engine braking, you slow down without applying the brake. It comes especially in helpful when you have to gently slow down on a highway.

2- Turn On Your Hazard Lights


Alert others to your problems. Turning on your hazards signals other motorists that you’re not just a Sunday driver in the fast lane.

3- Use the Handbrake Lightly
While you can stop the car with the handbrake or emergency brake, you should only use it as a last option because it can lock the back wheels and create a skid. If using it, do it gradually and gently; never yank it up sharply.

4- Search for an Escape Route.


If in town, look for a safe, open area, or if on the highway, try to coast along to a slow halt on the hard shoulder. To lower the chance of a rear-end shunt, avoid stopping in traffic whenever at all possible.

5- Get Off the Road
When you’ve got the car stopped, don’t just stay there. To warn other drivers, move the car off the road if at all feasible and place warning triangles behind it.

6- Get Assistance


Give a local garage or your breakdown cover provider a call once you’ve stopped safely and are out of danger. Call 999 if you are a little unsure about your safety or are in a dangerous area.

7- Give Up on Driving Ever Again
Not suitable for purpose, a car with shaky brakes is like a fish and chip shop without vinegar! Till an expert has examined and repaired the car, do not attempt to drive it again.

    8- Slightly Local Knowledge


    Did you know, for those driving in Yorkshire, that until recently, cars weighing more than 7.5 tonnes were prohibited from using the steep slope of Sutton Bank on the A170 because it was historically so infamous for producing brake failures?

    Particularly in places renowned for difficult climbs and tight turns, it is always prudent to plan your route and understand the terrain.

    9-A Last Thought


    Though it happens rarely, brake failure is a major safety concern. Make sure you’re adhering to the servicing schedule for your car since regular inspections and maintenance might stop such occurrence.

    Anywhere in the UK, including Halifax, your neighbourhood garage ought to be able to assist you in maintaining your car in excellent working order. I drive carefully!

    In my opinion the Brakes Fail problem occurs after a DIY brake job. This usually happens on the older car that includes rear brake drums.

    I can always remember when i was a junior mechanic

    learning the trade. One of the areas that I struggled with was the small springs that held the brake shoes in place.

    These little springs never seemed to go back into the same place as when they were removed. This is the kind of problem that the amateur mechanic faces when doing their own repairs. I eventually learned to get it right after much practice, but the DIY mechanic only has one or two attempts.

    At the same time don’t think that they realise how important it is to free off all the moving parts that we associate with rear brake drums?

    There are small levers that operate the hand brake

    and enable the brake shoes to operate in tandem. If these levers are not freed off and lubricated, it could lead to sized-up rear brakes.

    This then leads to the overheating of the brakes and the loss of brake fluid, and then Brakes fail. The brakes then fail and the procedures in this article have to be brought into play. I have known brake fluid to reach boiling point and evaporate altogether, leaving the car and driver with Brakes Fail.

    This actually happened to me when i was a youth: i over-adjusted the rear drums. These overheated and failed? I stopped on a large side walk in Preston, UK, without injuring anyone.

    Range Rover Evoque

    Just have a think for a moment, how many convertible 4WDs have you seen?

    That’s right – none. Unless you’ve been into a Range Rover dealership in the last few weeks. The Range Rover Evoque Convertible went on sale this week, and to see if it was all looks no delivery, we ventured to Queensland’s Fraser Island to give it a crack on some narrow bush tracks, soft sand and open beaches. The Evoque look

    There is nothing special about this post.

    Naturally, the Range Rovers appeal to many of the motoring public. Thus, I include many of my customers. In Halifax, we have a Range Rover main dealer. So we get many of the second- and third-hand cars in for servicing and repair work.

    Not forgetting the Falken tyres and batteries. This Evoque looks great and well worth a look at, although it is in Australia?

    The Reasons the Range Rover Evoque Still Grabs Attention in Britain

    If you’ve ever been interested in a vehicle that combines elegant design with tough performance, you’ve probably glanced admiringly at the Range Rover Evoque.

    Since its 2011 debut, this stylish pair of wheels has graced the roads of the United Kingdom, and its allure hasn’t diminished in the slightest. The Evoque is more than simply a car in Halifax and elsewhere; it’s a versatile and elegant statement.

    A Little History

    As a member of the Range Rover family, the Evoque made a splash right away thanks to its sleek appearance and small size, making it a practical option for manoeuvring through both narrow city spaces and rural roads.

    The Evoque’s voyage is especially fascinating because of its close ties to our own territory. This stunning product, which highlights the excellence of British engineering and design, is produced in the Halewood facility in Liverpool.

    The Evoque: Why is it?

    Why, therefore, is the Evoque a popular choice among drivers in the UK today? To start with, it exudes style in plenty. The Evoque has a sleek, contemporary appearance that makes it appear luxurious without being unduly pretentious.

    This is the kind of motor that looks as good outside a fancy restaurant as it does outside your neighbourhood chippy.

    When it comes to performance, the Evoque delivers. It is well-known for its agility and easy handling, which make driving it enjoyable on both the M62 and the twisting roads of the Yorkshire Dales.

    In Halifax, where we value a little green thought, the newest models also include amazing eco-friendly features like mild hybrid technology, which lowers emissions and boosts efficiency.

    You can’t help but sense a link to the larger story of British automotive greatness when you drive an Evoque in Halifax.

    It is a source of satisfaction to know that this car contributes to a long tradition of British automotive craftsmanship and supports British jobs. It can draw attention at the Shibden Hall or when parked by the Piece Hall on a crowded market day, let’s face it.

    A View Towards the Future

    The Evoque is keeping up with the electric vehicle craze that is taking the automotive industry by storm. More environmentally friendly iterations of this well-liked vehicle are in the works, so it will always be relevant in a market where environmental concerns are paramount.

    It’s interesting for us to consider how this cornerstone of British luxury will adjust to the changing demands of motoring as we promote batteries and energy solutions.

    Concluding

    The Range Rover Evoque remains a well-liked option for drivers in the United Kingdom, whether due to its attractive appearance, the possibility of impressive performance, or its strong British heritage.

    Few other cars can compare to the unique combination of luxury, efficiency, and practicality it offers. Why not have a closer look at the Evoque if you haven’t already? It might be the ideal travel companion for your upcoming excursion across the breathtaking Yorkshire countryside or the busy city of Halifax.

    The Range Rover Evoque is ultimately about travelling in comfort and style while promoting the history and future of British automotive innovation, not merely about going from point A to point B. Thus, give a nod of respect to a real local hero the next time you witness one floating down the street.

    Of course, Range Rover models

    are very popular in the Halifax area of the UK. So, there are a few reasons for this! primarily because we have a Range Rover main dealer in the Calderdale area.

    with the farming community. If only because of the vehicles good performance in bad conditions. Halifax, of course, is a very hilly area. So, when bad weather prevails, these vehicle are well up to the task of coping with snow and ice.

    Oil Changes

    Castrol’s new Nexcel tech promises 90-second drop oil changes and dry sumps for all. But could this revolutionary new process spell the end for DIY home mechanic?

    Wow this is out of the blue?

    All the energy in the recent auto scene has been dedicated to the engine emissions and cutting back on greenhouse gasses, but I never saw this one coming. Changing oil is pretty easy and i would not have thought that engineers were or would be looking for ways of making it easier.

    I can see where they are coming from, but i feel that the prediction of most cars having this technology fitted by 2020 a little far fetched, but you never know. it is nice to see some stuff coming out about the regular cars and not the electric side of the jog, for a change.

    Little has changed when carrying out

     Oil Changes, over the past fifty years and more. Just about everybody could change the oil in their car, but things are about to change.

    The old oil in the engine will enter the box. The box will then be unplugged and then removed. A new cartridge will be inserted containing the correct amount of oil for the particular model of car.

    The box will be electronically

    connected to the cars engine management system and it is claimed that this will give better engine CO2 emission results. The old oil in the box will then be recycled responsibly.

    In my opinion, car designs

    will have to change to fit the Oil Changes box under the car bonnet. Although it is battery-sized, if the battery were removed from another part of the car, it could still work.

    Also, there is nothing said about topping your oil level up or when oil changes will take place? Only time will tell whether or not this is a good idea or not?
