Types of Engine Wear
As you rack up the miles on your car, your engine can start to come under stress and wear down for various reasons. In general, there are four types of engine wear we encounter here at our service center. Abrasive wear is the result of contaminants like particles, dust, or dirt making their way into your engine and causing parts to grind against each other. Corrosive wear, which is also called chemical wear, happens when harsh chemicals leak and stay in contact with engine parts for too long, causing damage.
Adhesive wear happens to metal parts pressed against each other under heavy loads. The metal bonds on a microscopic level then pull apart, causing the smooth surface to become rougher. The most common type of wear is fatigue wear. It happens even when a car has proper oil levels and is simply the result of stress over time.
