Engine oil is essential for your car’s engine to work efficiently. Using the wrong oil can cause engine wear, higher fuel consumption, and even serious engine damage.
How to choose the right engine oil?
-
Manufacturer’s recommendations – Follow the SAE viscosity recommended in your car manual.
-
Synthetic or mineral oil – New cars usually require synthetic oil; older vehicles may use mineral or semi-synthetic oils.
-
Quality standards – Make sure the oil meets API and ACEA standards.
-
Driving and climate conditions – Consider city vs highway driving and hot or cold weather.
Risks of wrong choice
Incorrect oil increases engine friction, fuel consumption, and reduces engine lifespan.
