Engine oil

Engine oil is one of the most important operating fluids in a vehicle, ensuring the lubrication, cooling, and protection of moving engine components. During engine operation, high temperatures and strong frictional forces develop between components such as pistons, cylinders, camshafts, and bearings. Engine oil forms a stable lubricating film that reduces this friction and minimizes wear.

Besides lubrication, engine oil performs other important functions. It helps to dissipate heat from the engine, absorb deposits and combustion residues, and transport them to the oil filter. This keeps the engine clean and allows it to operate efficiently.

Modern motor oils contain special additives that provide additional engine protection. These additives improve lubrication, prevent corrosion, reduce foaming, and ensure stable properties even at high temperatures or under heavy loads.

Engine oils are available in various viscosity grades, such as 5W-30, 5W-40, or 10W-40. The correct choice depends on the engine's requirements and the manufacturer's specifications.
