FAQ

Why is the choice of engine oil so important?

Using the wrong type of engine oil can cause safety and performance issues, such as wear and tear, degradation, overheating, loss of power, and engine failure. Poor-quality engine oil also affects the environment and causes higher emissions and pollutants. The wrong type of oil can ignite fuel in the combustion chamber or cause catastrophic engine failure.

What is engine oil made from?

Engine oil consists of a base oil and additives. Base oils are crude oil or natural gas. Additives are chemicals that improve the performance of the oil, such as anti-friction agents, antiwear additives, detergents and dispersants, corrosion inhibitors, and other additives.

Is it important to change the oil, and how often should I do this?

Yes, it is important to change your oil. Changing your oil ensures your engine is properly cooled and lubricated and doesn’t overheat or experience severe wear and tear. How often you change your oil depends on the vehicle, the type of oil you use, driving conditions, temperature, how much you drive, and the age of your vehicle. You should check your oil at least once a month.
