Buying engine oil is not something you do lightly. Choosing the right oil has a direct effect on the performance, lifespan and health of your engine. In this blog we give you concrete tips for choosing motor oil that suits your car and driving style. So you can be sure that your engine gets what it deserves.
The viscosity - often indicated by numbers such as 5W30 or 10W40 - indicates how thick or thin the oil is at different temperatures. A lower "W" value means the oil stays smoother when cold. Always check your car's manual for the recommended viscosity.
Motor oil must meet standards such as ACEA or API. These specifications indicate what the oil can handle and whether it is suitable for your engine. Are you using an oil without the proper certification? Then you run the risk of reduced performance or even damage.
Fully synthetic oil is chemically optimized for maximum performance and protection. Mineral is cheaper, but less stable in temperature changes. Our Premium Performance 5W30 is a fully synthetic oil frequently recommended for modern cars.
Manufacturers indicate which oil will work best in your car. These guidelines are based on engine type, year of manufacture and driving conditions. Deviation is sometimes allowed, but the risk is greater. So use the given specifications as the basis for your choice.
Do you drive mostly short trips in the city or just a lot of highway miles? For many cold starts or short distances, an oil with fast circulation is important. For intensive use or sporty driving, you need oil that is extra resistant to heat and stress.
Oil of unknown origin may be counterfeit or obsolete. Therefore, always buy from a reliable supplier. In our webshop easily order the right oil and get a guarantee of quality and freshness.
