Lubricants
Using lubricating oils on vehicles improves their overall functioning and operation. Engines that are properly lubricated put less strain on the moving pistons, allowing the vehicle to operate more fuel efficiently in the long run. Using lubricating oil prolongs the use of the vehicle and minimizes the wear and tear.
Keeping an engine and its components clean is important because dirt build-up damages the engine. Changing your oil regularly ensures your engine remains in good condition and it protects the integrity of the engine as well as its surrounding components.
Oil protects your engine by:
- Cleaning dirt and debris from the engine
- Preventing corrosion and rust
- Cooling engine components so that your vehicle won’t overheat
- Improving gas mileage. Poor engine lubrication can lead to increased fuel consumption
How to Choose the Correct Oil for Your Engine
Choosing the proper oil for your engine begins in the owner’s manual to see what is recommended. Often, owners mistakenly believe that all lubricants work in the same manner. While it may be more costly, choosing a higher quality oil helps your engine run smoothly.
While you may think that choosing a cheaper oil is satisfactory if you change your oil more frequently, cheap oils usually have protective properties that don’t last as long in comparison to a slightly more expensive oil. So, while you may be paying less initially, you pay more in the long run.
Some Factors to Consider When Choosing the Correct Oil:
- Viscosity; this refers to how resistant a fluid is to flow. Viscosity is noted by “XW-XX,” where the number before the “W” rates the oils flow at 0 degrees. The lower the number, the less likely it is to freeze in colder temperatures. The numbers after the “W” refers to how likely the fluid will thin at 100 degrees Celsius. The lower the number, the more likely it will thin out faster.
- What kind of oil have you used in the past? If your vehicle runs efficiently, it may be unnecessary to change the kind of oil you’re using.
- How old is your vehicle? The age of the vehicle can impact the kind of oil you use.
- Is your vehicle’s engine worn out? If the mileage is high on your vehicle, a high-mileage oil may be the right fit for your vehicle.
- The climate. Multi-weight oils cover a range of temperatures, which is great for transitioning from hot to cold climates.
