* Viscosity matters: Engine oil viscosity is crucial for proper lubrication. The correct viscosity depends on your car's engine, climate, and driving conditions. A mechanic or your owner's manual will be able to provide the best viscosity for your specific car.
* Oil type matters: Modern engines often require specific types of oil (synthetic, semi-synthetic, conventional) and API ratings. This information is also found in your owner's manual or through a trusted mechanic.
How to find the right oil:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for oil recommendations for your specific vehicle.
2. Talk to a mechanic: A qualified mechanic can assess your car's needs and recommend the appropriate engine oil.
3. Check the oil cap: The oil cap often has a sticker with recommended oil specifications.
4. Look for a reputable oil change service: Many oil change services have databases that can recommend the correct oil based on your vehicle's year, make, and model.
Please remember: Using the wrong oil can damage your engine. Always consult a trusted source before making an oil change.
