Mineral base oils (mineral)Synthetic oils (synthetic)Oils obtained from the combination of mineral and synthetic base (semi-synthetic)Oils obtained from mineral base optimization (new generation base)Refining base oils (monogrid)
Modern Engine oil currently has three classifications:
- Group III is a mineral oil or gas to liquid that is a Chemical way to produce Paraffin oil from methane gas.
- Group IV is a PAO (poly alphaefin).
- Group V which is very unusual (esters or diesters).
SAE 10W-40 is not a label of a quality engine oil but a type of viscosity grade. The multigrade oils available today can be used at very different temperatures (very high viscosity index); Which eliminates the need to change car oils in summer and winter.
The volume of engine oil must always be a certain amount so that the engine has a standard function. Most drivers and car owners are concerned when they run out of oil and think that their car is broken and they should go to a repair shop.
this assumption is not correct and any oil reducing is not a defect in the car engine. Oil evaporation, engine design, not choosing the right engine and driving conditions are some of the reasons for reducing the volume of engine oil.
