How To Check Engine Oil Quality

How do you determine engine oil quality? Engine Oil is vital to your engine. It ensures that your engine runs smoothly and efficiently. Additives are added to the best engine oil to prevent seal breaks, leakages, and overheating.
Gandhar recommends that you speak to your vehicle’s manufacturer and a trusted mechanic in order to get the right oil for your car. After you receive the oil, do your due diligence.

It is important to check these three things, regardless of whether your oil is Mineral Oil, Semi-Synthetic, or Fully Synthetic.

1. Viscosity is denoted by the ” 10W30 or 15W40. These numbers indicate the cold and operating thickness of your oil. You should know your vehicle’s needs before choosing a viscosity.
2. Base oil factors –This determines whether the oil is mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, or fully synthetic oil.
3. Product name – engine oils are similar, but their commercial terms determine which vehicle they will work with.

Why is engine oil quality important?
Engine oil quality can have a significant impact on your daily driving or riding. The most effective engine oils can increase the durability of your motor, reduce repairs, and ensure maximum performance. Low-quality oils may cause short and long-term problems with your vehicle, including –

1. Short-term – Sludging occurs when the oil heats up and causes carbon to build up on the intake valves. Leakage: Poor quality oil can cause seals not to be properly lubricated, which leads to extra friction and even the breaking of seals that keep your engine closed. Due to conflict, the temperature of the motor will increase.
2. Long-Term –
   1. Lower Fuel Economy_ An inefficient motor will waste more fuel and not run at its maximum capacity.
   2. Lower performance– Improperly lubricating your vehicle can lead to a lower fuel intake, damaged seals, and an overheated engine, which all contribute to the feeling that it is moving slower than its actual speed.
   3. Repair costs – When the friction is not within the prescribed amount, it can be bad for your engine. This is often caused by bad lubrication. The constant replacement of parts will increase maintenance costs.

What is the mark of a quality engine oil?

The best car engine oil is packaged well and adheres to the specifications of manufacturers.

Your Engine Oil should meet API (American Petroleum Institute) and viscometric specs. This means that the engine oils will be manufactured to the highest standards of efficiency, durability, and performance.
