Types of Engine Wear

Maybe you haven’t thought about how engine wear affects the performance of vehicles like the Dodge Durango SUV or Jeep Grand Cherokee. The certified technicians at our Thousand Oaks, CA service center can tell you about the four main types of engine wear.

Abrasive wear – Occurs when outside contaminants scour the metal parts inside the engine.

Corrosive or chemical wear – Occurs when chemicals damage the metal components inside the engine. In general, we see this kind of wear in vehicles that are used infrequently, such as seasonal vehicles.

Adhesive wear – This type of wear is due to excessive metal-to-metal contact, such as you might experience with high loads, high speeds or extreme temperatures.

Fatigue wear – The final type of wear happens when undue stress is put on lubricated surfaces. We see this frequently with rolling elements inside the engine, such as bearings.
