Types of oil and its importance to the car

The function of the oil is to lubricate and protect the engine, generating a separator film of moving parts, thus reducing wear.
Know the types of oil to see which is best.

For proper operation of your vehicle's engine, one of the most important elements is the oil.
I will tell you in detail the variety of oils you can find in the market and its specification, and the idea is that you achieve the most appropriate choice for your vehicle.
Inside the engine there are many components that are in constant motion and friction. Excess latter causes increased wear of parts and deterioration with time of the engine.

The function of the oil is lubricating and protecting, creating a film separating moving parts, thus reducing wear and overheating, which can lead to inefficiencies in the internal workings of the engine and stiffness in the short term.

This oil must be renewed periodically, as with temperature changes and the wear of these parts, as it loses its lubricating properties. At the same time we must replace the oil filter which plays an important role in cleaning the lubricator.

Various types of motor oil and varying degrees and compositions. You'll find two categories, Multigrade and MONOGRADE.
multigrade
In the category of multigrade are the synthetic, semi-synthetic (synthetic technology), and Minerals.
5W30 - 5W40 - 5W50, synthetic oils are yielding about 10 000 kilometers and are recommended for vehicles new or gently used. Designed to operate in a temperature range
