  1. Here are the main questions you'll find answered on this site:
  2. What engine oil does your engine need?

Good? High quality? Well, that's obvious! But you didn't end up on this site for nothing, did you? Feeling lost about what to choose and want to know a bit more?

So, here's the thing: in reality, engine oil can either suit your engine or not. And an expensive, high-quality oil that doesn't suit your engine will destroy it far faster than, say, a suitable oil of middling quality. That's exactly what this site is about.

Which oil should you choose? 1. How and which oil should you choose for your engine?

2. How often should the oil be changed ?

3. Can additives be used in engine oil?

4. How and when is engine flushing done?

5. What is oil viscosity ?

6. Viscosity table by SAE

7. What are oil approvals ?

8. How do synthetic engine oils differ from mineral ones?

You'll also find here plenty of useful tips on regular car maintenance and technical information on engine oil classifications. The one thing you definitely won't find here is promotion of any particular makers or brands.

This site was created solely in the interests of car owners and is not a business project!

Once upon a time, asking himself which oil to pour into his own engine, the author of everything written here eventually had to dig a lot deeper and get to grips with the substance of some of the processes going on inside an engine. It turned out things weren't so simple, including with the advertising and marketing strategies of many engine oil makers. As it turned out, they (the makers) very often cynically mislead potential customers in the fight for market share. Or, to put it more gently, they leave a lot unsaid.

With best wishes,
