Choose the right oil for your engine.
Dec 24, 2025
Engine oil is the lifeblood of your engine. Choosing the correct oil isn’t just routine maintenance—it’s a decision that directly affects performance, reliability, and engine lifespan.
A proper lubrication system plays a critical role in keeping your engine healthy by:
1- Lubricating all moving parts to minimize wear and extend engine life.
2- Helping cool the engine by carrying heat away from critical components.
3- Sealing piston rings, maintaining compression and engine power.
4- Cleaning the engine, holding dirt and contaminants in suspension until oil is drained.
5- Neutralizing harmful acids formed during the combustion process.
6- Reducing friction, improving efficiency and fuel economy.
7- Preventing rust and corrosion, protecting internal metal surfaces.
The risk of using the wrong oil:
Using a bad or unsuitable oil can lead to serious and costly damage, such as:
1- Clogged oil passages caused by sludge, deposits, and oil greasing.
2- Broken mechanical parts due to the oil’s inability to properly cool critical components.
3- Excessive wear in cylinder liners, eventually forcing a major engine overhaul.
Choosing a cheap or improper oil does not necessarily mean you are saving money. It often results in unexpected failures, and expensive repairs that far exceed the initial cost difference.
