When buying a new car, you can not worry about its technical condition for at least a couple of months. But still, there are things that need to be installed immediately, no matter how new the car is. One of these parts is the engine crankcase protection. This part, according to experts, should be installed on every vehicle that operates in harsh Russian conditions. And the point here is not the air temperature, but the quality and condition of the roads.

Initially, European-made cars are not equipped with such a detail as engine protection. The price for it, by the way, is not so great, but that's not the point. It's just that in Europe the condition of the roads is significantly different from ours, of course, for the better. Another thing is if we are talking about Russia or Ukraine - there are probably more pits than the inhabitants themselves. Therefore, engine protection plays an essential role in ensuring the safety of the motor. Passenger cars of foreign and domestic production (oddly enough) are equipped with only anther, and he cannot protect the internal combustion engine. It turns out,the engine of the car is simply defenseless against pits.

Only the protection of engines, namely the crankcase, changes the situation. In this case, the engine will no longer be afraid of stones, dirt, dust, and other dangers in the form of holes that are so common on our roads.

How effective is engine protection? Its importance in the life of Russian drivers cannot be overestimated. For example, imagine: a car is driving along the road, and suddenly some huge piece of reinforcement appears in its path. It's too late to slow down, and it's not always safe to dodge. What's coming out? The car runs into this obstacle, and the first part with which it comes into contact is the bottom of the engine. The car shuts off, the internal combustion engine will no longer start. That's it, it's time to go to the service station. But if this vehicle had been equipped with protection, such troubles would definitely not have arisen - only the sound of a blow and, possibly, a slight vibration would have been heard in the cabin. Everything, the car goes on without any problems. There are surprises on rough terrain too, so engine protection is always needed, whether it's a city car or an SUV.

Speaking of SUVs. If your car is often used on dirt roads or off-road, the service station may offer you additional accessories such as protection for the gearbox, transfer cases and steering rods. Thanks to these details, your car will definitely be protected from any troubles of this kind. It is not necessary to install such spare parts on urban small cars, but the presencecrankcase protection should be on them anyway.

Conclusion

As you can see, this detail allows drivers not to worry about the safety of their engine. Moreover, by installing such a device once, you can no longer fork out for expensive restoration services, and, possibly, even replacing (it all depends on the degree of damage) of the motor.
