1. Provides Lubrication.                                                                                                                                                                                         The motor oil lessens the friction amongst the various components of the engine during the combustion cycle. By providing a thin layer of oil, parts of the engine do not rub each other harshly. Thus engine oil reduces the wear and tear.

2. Neutralizes Acids

   During the process of combustion, fuel and as well as the oxidization of other lubricants produce acids. Engine oil is responsible for neutralising these acids.

3. Cleans out Sludge

   Engine oil plays an important role in making sure the engine block is clean and free from residue. If the engine sludge is not properly removed, this could lead to blockage.

4. Inhibits corrosion and oxidation

   Another function of engine oil is preventing corrosion. Motor oil protects the cylinder blocks from rust.

So now we know that the engine oil is essential for the smooth running of the engine. But do you know all engines can’t work with the same engine oil?

Yes, different engines require different engine oils to function and operate normally. The car manufacturer recommends the engine oil based on the parameters of your car. 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.
