THE BIRTH OF VEHICULAR OIL

AUTHOR: BARBARA AGGREY 





The practice of the use of vehicular oil, popularly referred to as engine oil, dates back to. in the early days of the automobile industry. Historically, Henry Ford, one of the prominent fathers of mechanic shops and engine oil, revolutionized the automobile industry with the introduction of the assembly line, which made cars more affordable and accessible to the average consumer. 

As cars became more prevalent, the need for maintenance and repairs also increased. Mechanics began using engine oil to lubricate and protect the moving parts of the vehicles they were working on. Over time, this became the standardized practice. 

According to a survey conducted by the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, 85% of mechanic shops use engine oil in their daily operations. This demonstrates the widespread use of engine oil in the industry and its significance in keeping vehicles running smoothly.

Mr. John Doe, a renowned mechanic with over 3 decades experience, emphasized the key significance of vehicular oil as prolonging the life span of vehicles and reducing the likelihood of breakdowns, thus, leading to safety and longevity.

Nevertheless, whiles it may contribute to maintaing of vehicles, it serves as a pollutant in its spent stages. For this reason, mechanic shops are often characterized by their darkened floors, stained with spent engine oil.  

As a result, advancements in automotive technology may lead to changes in the way engine oil is used in mechanic shops. For example, the rise of electric vehicles may decrease the demand for traditional engine oil, leading to a shift in the industry. 

However, vehicular oil will likely remain a crucial component in maintaining the performance and longevity of internal combustion engines for the foreseeable future.

DRAINED SPENT OIL IN A BASIN TO BE POURED FOR SALE                                     AUTHOR: SARAH NAA MERLEY ATTOH Vehicular Oil, a synthetic lubricant used in automobile engines is one of the very dangerous sources of pollution. Once motor oil is drained from an engine, it is no longer clean because it has picked up materials, dirt particles, and other chemicals during engine operation over a said period. The emission of these chemicals into the atmosphere lead to environmental contamination and which adversely affect human lives and the ecosystem. As a result, The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Ironically, Automotive Engineers in Ghana, commonly known as "mechanics or fitters,...
