How do I Know what Oil to Put in My Car?

To begin, you should always consult the owner’s manual for the vehicle. This will display the type of engine oil that is appropriate for your particular make and model.

The viscosity of engine oil is used to determine its grade. That is, the degree to which it is thick or thin. In the event that you do not possess the handbook, you are able to inquire with a member of their staff at any GSF Car Parts store about this matter.

Both 5W-30 and 5W-40 are the two types of motor oil grades that are most commonly used. When cold weather is present, the viscosity is referred to as the ‘5’, and the ‘W’ stands for the word ‘winter’. It is the oil flow at high temperatures that is represented by the other numbers, which are ’30’ and ’40’. The number ’30’ is typically reserved for more recent petrol engines, whereas the number ’40’ is more commonly associated with older petrol or diesel engines.

You run the risk of causing damage to your vehicle’s engine if you use the wrong kind of engine oil. Be sure to give your engine oil a good topping off at regular intervals; failing to do so could result in the engine in your vehicle being entirely destroyed.

How do you know if you need an Oil Change?

• High Mileage – If you are a regular driver who puts a lot of miles on your vehicle, you should consider changing your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Older automobiles approximately every three thousand miles
  Engine oil light – When it is time for your next oil change, the engine oil dashboard light or message on your vehicle will turn on.
• Check the consistency of the oil by removing a small amount of it from your dipstick. In the event that it is very coarse or gritty, it is time to change the oil.
• Oil that is older is darker and more black in colour, but oil that is more recent is more brown and translucent.
• The amount of oil in the engine continues to decrease. This is because the lubricating property of the oil decreases with age, which means that your vehicle need a greater amount of oil. If you change the oil and it continues to decline, it is time to check for a leak in the system.
• Engine noise – The noise that comes from the engine can be produced by old engine oil that has lost its lubricating capabilities. This can cause the moving elements of the engine to begin grinding against each other, which can result in significant physical damage.
