I heard when you use the wrong engine oil for your vehicle, it can affect it badly. How do I know the right oil?
When you look into the owner’s manual, you will see it written there. Read your owner’s manual or look for the oil /710 cap on the motor. It may have the correct weight of oil you need. Don’t use cheap oil. Use 100% synthetic oil. Full synthetic rating is not 100%. I recommend Amsoil OE, XL or the best is Signature series. All 100% authentic.
Check your vehicle’s handbook for the minimum oil quality specification and viscosity grade; but you may wish to choose a better one. Choosing the right oil depends on;
Car type – a high performance car needs higher performance oil
Car age –engines are constantly improving with newer ones giving a high performance with better fuel efficiency. Advanced oils have been developed to help keep up with these increased engineering demands.
Driving environment – None of us are keen on stop-start traffic, and neither is your engine. Using the higher quality oils available will help prevent the onset of engine wear and tear.
