Engine oils serve as the lifeblood of every engine. They provide lubrication, cooling and protection against wear. But how can you recognize a high-quality engine oil and why is the right choice so important?
The importance of high-quality engine oils
Modern lubricants with high performance are engineered to endure longer usage times. In the realm of passenger vehicles, oil changes can now be done after 50,000 km or every two years, and for commercial vehicles, this can extend to 150,000 km or more. The durability, reliability, and overall performance of an engine are influenced by several factors, including the quality of the base oil, the additive formulation, and the oil’s viscosity, as well as the stress on the engine from frequent starts, short drives, or long periods of not being used.
The right oil for your vehicle
The right choice of engine oil is the best prerequisite for lower oil consumption, less fuel consumption and fewer breakdowns. It’s not about the product being labeled as fully synthetic or synthetic, but about identifying and using the right oil standard for your vehicle. The “right oil” can be formulated from a variety of different base oils and additives to meet the technical requirements.
More power, less wear why quality pays off
- The advantages of high-quality engine oils
- Better protection against wear, deposits and corrosion, even under extremely difficult conditions.
- Universal usability in all vehicles and machinery, avoiding mix-ups.
- Miscibility and compatibility with other high-quality brand engine oils that meet the quality requirements of engine manufacturers.
- Can be used as a year-round oil. The use of multigrade oils, especially low-friction engine oils, is recommended here.
- Reduced fuel consumption, especially at low temperatures and in short-distance operation.
- Optimum cold start behavior. All lubrication points are quickly supplied with oil. Protects batteries and starter motors and cold-start wear is measurably reduced.
The right mixture makes the difference
Can lubricants be mixed with each other?
As a rule, yes! Brand oils, such as EUROPART high-performance lubricants, can be mixed with other brand products with the same or similar intended use in the oil circuit without causing problems during use.
