What is engine oil and why is it so important?
In the automotive world, engine oil is one of the most important car parts in your car. you can usually identify the oil as a thick, dark brown liquid that is made from petroleum. Found in internal combustion engines, It lubricates and cools the motor and reduces wear and tear on the engine. Car engine oil also provides a number of other benefits such as reducing friction, which in turn reduces fuel consumption, lowering emissions, and increasing horsepower.
It also carries heat away from the motor and cools it down by carrying off some of the heat through its thin film. Without this protective layer, metal parts would quickly wear out and the engine would fail prematurely. Your engine relies on your motor oil to keep it running smoothly, so this is why it's important to change or check your car's oil regularly. You can ask a mechanic or follow our online guide to change your oil yourself.

This type of engine oil provides protection from rust, oxidation, and gumming in addition to the properties of conventional petroleum-based engine oils. Some blends also include additives such as an antifreeze or an increased viscosity index for cold weather starts.
