Car Engine Oil

The purpose of Car Engine oil is primarily lubrication of all internal parts such as piston-cylinder walls, rings, valves, crankcase and gear train. Ideally the oil reduces friction, removes dirt and sludge, keeps all parts cool and prevents seizure and enhances performance as well as life of the engine.

In the past just any engine oil served the purpose. However, with catalytic converters, precisely timed ignition and fuel flow, close tolerances and other variations in modern high tech engines, the engine oil has to have very specific characteristic. Today’s engine oils are available in various types and in a multitude of grades and viscosities to precisely match the engine. Let us take a brief look at the different types of car (and motorcycle) engine oils currently available.

Premium Oil is the standard oil used for a wide range of modern vehicles. These engine oils are available in grades 5W10 used for lower engine temperatures to 5W30 for high engine temperatures, and other special grades for light to moderate duty.

Synthetic oils are recommended for advanced engines for superior and better performance over time. Synthetic oils retain viscosity and lubricity at high temperatures and are recommended for modern cars with high usage patterns.

Blended Oils are a blend of synthetic and natural oils, designed to suit high temperature and heavy loads. These oils are recommended for light commercial vehicles and rugged use SUVs.

High Mileage Oil is targeted at slightly older vehicles. Engine components in these vehicles exhibit wear and tear and there are leaks due to shrinkage of seals. These higher viscosity oils have conditioners and additives that enhance performance of seals and engine parts for reliable performance.
