Engine Oil FAQs
What is car engine oil?
The primary function of motor oil is to lubricate the internal components of your car's engine.
However, it also does a whole host of other tasks such as cooling your engine by more evenly distributing heat, cleaning it using built in oil additive detergents,
improving the effectiveness of oil seals, and inhibiting corrosion.
Why do engine oil grades and specifications matter?
Each vehicle's engine is produced and designed around a certain engine oil grade / viscosity plus a very precise specification.
Oil specifications are varied to cope with the vastly different strains and stresses vehicle motors have to cope with
(engine cc, DPF compatibility, diesel / petrol to name just a few).
To maintain the efficiency, lifespan, and performance or your engine you should always stick with the oil that your engine was designed to take (although if your vehicle
is heavily performance modified, you may require a different oil - please contact us for our recommendation).
Which engine oil is right for my car?
Which product you need to use will depend on your make, model, and variant of car, as well as other factors such as your driving style and the condition of your vehicle.
You will generally find the recommended car engine oil grade / viscosity and specification within your vehicle's handbook, or you can use our engine oil lookup (at the top of this page) to make sure you're getting the right oil.
Can I use car engine oil in my van?
The oils we stock can generally be used in cars, vans, and LGVs. If your van or light goods vehicle handbook recommends using a particular grade or specification, the products you can choose from will be roughly the same as if you had a car.
HGVs, on the other hand, have different demands and require different specifics from cars.
