With such an abundant collection of oils available on the market for your car, sometimes it is difficult to identify the correct one. You could be standing in an aisle at your favourite (or most convenient) motor enthusiast store for a long time trying to decide.

Often the greatest indication of what oil to choose will be in your manufacturers guide and it will be based on the viscosity of the oil that will have an impact on its performance. Viscosity is how the fluid resists flow and will be dependant on the  what temperature the oil will thicken or thin.  That is one of the best measures for what oil to choose dependent on where you are in the world.

 

From there on the types of oil are:

• High Mileage
• Premium Conventional
• Conventional
• Fully-synthetic
• Synthetic

All of which have their own unique properties for your engine type, manufacturer and age.
