Why Classic Cars Need Extra Care and Attention

Classic cars represent the pinnacle of automotive history, but their unique characteristics demand specialized care. At Bayside Auto, we understand the intricacies of these vehicles and are equipped to ensure they receive the expert attention they deserve. Here’s why classic cars require an elevated approach to maintenance and repair.

  • Aging Parts and Components

    The parts in classic cars are often decades old, making them prone to wear, corrosion, and failure. Unlike modern vehicles with readily available replacements, sourcing original or compatible parts for classic cars can be a challenge. Our team has the expertise and supplier network to identify, source, and install high-quality components that match your car’s original design.

  • Outdated Lubrication Systems

    Many classic cars were manufactured before advancements in lubrication technology. Their engines and mechanical systems often lack the precision seals and coatings found in modern vehicles, leaving them more vulnerable to friction and wear. Bayside Auto combats this with Amsoil’s premium products, including high-zinc formulations that deliver superior protection for vintage engines and components.

  • Unique Engineering Challenges

    Each classic car model comes with its own set of engineering quirks. From carburetors and drum brakes to manual transmissions and mechanical fuel pumps, these systems require careful calibration and a hands-on approach. Our skilled technicians are well-versed in handling these unique features, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

  • Enhanced Protection with Amsoil Products

    • Superior Additives for Longevity: Amsoil lubricants contain advanced additives that protect against oxidation, sludge, and corrosion, extending the lifespan of your engine and other critical systems.
    • High-Zinc Formulas for Classic Engines: Zinc plays a vital role in reducing wear in older engine designs, especially those with flat-tappet cams. Our high-zinc oils provide the level of protection your classic car needs.
    • Special Blends for Specialty Vehicles: Whether your car is a European classic, an American muscle car, or a high-mileage gem, Amsoil offers tailored solutions that outperform off-the-shelf oils.
