Discovering the Perfect Motor Oil for Your Vehicles & Equipment
Many people don’t realize that each oil is unique and that there truly is a difference in quality and performance between each different oil or brand. They do NOT all offer the same benefits and drawbacks to the vehicle owner. Once an individual finally realizes that there IS a difference, they often begin a motor oil quest of epic proportions to find “the one” that will best protect their vehicles and/or equipment. I hope, within this article and some subsequent follow-ups, to help guide an individual through that process .
Extraordinary Engine Oil Paradise
Of course, many people make the assumption, as they pursue their “ultimate motor oil” that there is necessarily a “best oil” that will fit everyone’s needs. Some SUPER oil which will, undoubtedly, serve everyone perfectly. But, the extraordinary engine oil paradise that they are looking for is a legend at best. It simply doesn’t exist|cannot be found.
No SINGLE oil can effectively meet everyone’s needs. In fact, no one BRAND can meet the needs of every user either. A premium brand synthetic, like AMSOIL, Redline, NEO or similar, MAY, in fact, be a more premium quality oil, but that doesn’t make it the best choice for every situation.
That is why it is imperative that an individual come to an understanding of the exact lubrication needs of THEIR application before it will be possible to find their best oil. Once the needs are known, it’s time to learn a bit about motor oil so that you’ll know what motor oil characteristics will be most important for meeting those needs. Then you simply need to find the oils that offer the best of those characteristics.
Following this objective method is really going to be the most effective way to ultimately find an oil that will meet all of the particular needs of your application, thereby extending it’s useful life and offering you the greatest economy of use.
The oil selections made (synthetic, blend or petroleum, 10w40 vs. 15w40, CJ-4 or CI-4) are likely of little importance, no matter what your Uncle Joe tries to tell you, except in the sense that the choices made should be those that will best meet the needs of your application. As long as they meet these needs, it really will not much matter what oil or brand you decide to use.
