Choose
The Best Motor Oil for Your Car
by SolveYourProblem.com
Motor
oil lubricates your car's engine and keeps it in condition.
Therefore choosing the best motor oil is a very important thing
for the continued health and performance of your car. Motor
oil lubricates every moving part of your engine. It cleans
the sludge, soot, ash, acid and moisture in the engines. Quality
oil makes your engine run smoothly.
Oils are labeled for all kinds of specific purposes. There
are different types for old cars, for new cars and for high-tech
engines. Your car manufacturer will guide you about the usage
of right oil for your car. You may have heard about energy
conserving oil that guarantees better fuel economy. Energy
conserving oil has to pass through a lab test against reference
oils. But in reality there is no guarantee of a better fuel
economy. The guarantee that you get is usually from the leading
brand. Let’s take a look at different types of motor oils.
Synthetic
Oil: This oil has a superior long lasting performance.
Synthetic oil is exclusively meant for high tech engines. The
flow of the oil remains quite good even at very low temperatures,
and the peak lubricity is not compromised even at high temperatures.
This oil is pretty expensive.
Synthetic
Blend Oil: This oil is a mixture of synthetic oil
and organic oil. This type of oil will provide protection to
your car at high temperatures, being less volatile than some
other kinds. Synthetic Blend oil is not as expensive as full
synthetic oil.
Premium
Convention Oil: This is standard new car oil available
in various viscosities. This oil has specification for either
5W-20 or 5W-30 for lower temperatures and 100W-30 for higher
temperature. If you are using this oil you have to change and
filter it regularly.
It is very important to choose the right oil for your car.
Oil grades keep changing day by day. You must make sure that
you are using the correct oil for the protection of your car’s
engine. To extend the life of the engine of your car,
you must change oil after every 2500 or 3000 miles. The oil gets thinner
and its viscosity breaks down. If the viscosity of the oil
is reduced below a certain level, it will break down at high
temperatures. It is advisable to use synthetic oil
whenever possible. A synthetic oil will help the engine of your car
last longer. When you start your car, the synthetic oil will
flow to the engine faster and thus prevent wear. As synthetic
oil circulates better and remains stable at extreme temperatures,
it is ideal for cold climates. Synthetic oil is used in high
performance cars like Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Corvettes and
Aston martins. It is also what racing drivers use. The negative
aspect of synthetic oil is that it is may be too heavy for
your pocket. But at the same time it is resistant to thermal
breakdown. If you are concerned with your car’s long-term health
it is advisable to switch over to synthetic oil.
