Understand the role of engine oil
Engine oil has a myriad of roles to play in ensuring the good performance of your engine. Here are some major ones:
Better lubricants
Engines are exposed to different temperatures resulting in gradual wear and tear. The primary role of engine oils is to ensure that engines are properly lubricated, so that they run smoothly, and that they have a long lifespan.=
Cleaner Engine
Cleanliness is an important role that engine oil plays in your engine. This clears the accumulated deposits, sludge and microscopic debris from the engine and in turn unwinds it so that the engine oil can flow well.
Effective cooling
Due to regular use of your vehicle, exposure to high temperatures and friction of mechanical parts, your engine heats up. The lubrication provided by engine oil helps to cool your engine circuit.
Protects it from corrosion
The combustion of fuel causes metal parts to oxidize and rust over time. The additives in engine oil help slow the corrosion process, giving your engine a longer lifespan.
Act as a seal
Engine oil gives space between the piston and the cylinder. The gaps are filled by engine oil to optimize engine performance and efficiency.
