Select the best engine lubricants 
The essential thing that is used in car service is engine 
lubricants. Engine oil is one of the leading lubricants 
that have a big part to play in the combustion cycle. It 
keeps the engine cool and makes sure that the piston 
rings in the IC engine are appropriately sealed. So, let's 
have a look at all the things that this wonder liquid does 
to your car.

Provides Lubrication
The motor oil lessens the friction amongst the various 
components of the engine during the combustion cycle. In 
addition, by providing a thin layer of oil, parts of the machine 
do not rub each other harshly. Thus engine oil reduces wear 
and tear.
Neutralizes Acids
During the process of combustion, fuel and as well as the 
oxidation of other lubricants produce acids. Engine lubricants
 are responsible for neutralizing these acids.
Cleans out Sludge
Engine lubricants play an essential role in making sure the 
engine block is clean and free from residue. If the engine 
sludge is not removed correctly, this could lead to blockage.
INHIBITS CORROSION AND 
OXIDATION
Another function of engine oil is preventing corrosion. 
Motor oil protects the cylinder blocks from rust.
So now you know that the engine lubricants are 
essential for the smooth running of the engine. But do you 
know all engines can't work with the same engine 
lubricants?
Yes, different engines require different engine 
lubricants to function and operate normally. The car 
manufacturer recommends engine lubricants based on 
the parameters of your car. However, you ought to know 
the grade of the engine oil your car needs as well. This will 
help you get the best performance from your motor. A 
good oil will also increase the lifespan of the engine.
Mineral oils
Mineral oils are made of refined petroleum products. They 
are thicker than synthetic and semi-synthetic oils, making 
them best-suited for older vehicle models or engines 
without turbochargers. Their oxidation stability is low 
compared to other engine oils, due to which frequent 
changes are required. Mineral oils are recommended for 
driving in temperate climates (that aren't too extreme) and 
are more economical when comparing engine oil prices.
Synthetic oils
Synthetic oils are obtained by mixing several synthetic 
components. They are designed for high-performance 
engines, making them a suitable option for auto racing. 
Better in quality, synthetic oils contain fewer impurities 
and can withstand high temperatures. There is more wait 
time between oil changes with synthetic oils for both diesel 
and petrol engines.
Semi-synthetic oils
Semi-synthetic oils are made of mineral and synthetic oils, 
offering the best of both worlds without incorporating their 
drawbacks. With a good price/quality ratio, the mineral and 
synthetic oil blend better protection and performance. The 
usage of semi-synthetic oils does not modify the frequency 
of oil changes.
Standards to keep in mind while choosing 
engine lubricants:
When you are choosing engine lubricants, keep a check 
on the standards of the product. Things to keep in mind 
about the criteria are:
●  the type of engine the engine oil is designed for (diesel 
or petrol)
●  the performance levels
●  how well the oil meets the recommendations on the 
owner's manual
