What is an Engine Oil?
Motor oil, engine oil, or engine lubricant is any one of various substances used for the lubrication of internal combustion engines.
They typically consist of base oils enhanced with various additives, particularly antiwear additives, detergents, dispersants, and, for multi-grade oils, viscosity index improvers.

Which engine oil is best for petrol cars in South Africa?
Engen Multigrade 20W-50 is a heavy-duty multigrade engine oil recommended for use in similar petrol vehicles as well as light commercial vehicles and contractors’ equipment, in cases where oil consumption and cost are a concern.
Which engine oil lasts the longest?
synthetic blends
Unlike synthetic blends or conventional oils, fully synthetic oils won’t break down and will protect your engine for longer—sometimes as much as 250,000 miles.
How can I make my engine oil last longer?
Oil filters remove contaminants that build up in your oil over time. If your oil is left unfiltered, the particles can wear down your engine’s surfaces.
Using an oil filter that meets the engine manufacturer’s specifications is a great practice. Installing a secondary, or bypass, filter is an even better practice.
What causes engine oil to get dirty fast?
The oil filter in your vehicle is responsible for catching the contaminants in the engine oil, but over time when the oil filter gets old, it doesn’t work that efficiently. So, you can expect the engine oil to get dirty. It means that it’s time to change the oil filter too.
How do you clean the inside of your engine oil?
You add Engine Flush to the engine oil and then let the engine run at idle speed for 30-45 minutes. Because of this, the Flush spreads through the engine and it has time to clean up all the contamination and to spread the sometimes thick layers of sludge through the engine oil.
