Engine Oil

A high quality engine oil is the lifeblood of every vehicle's motor. Helping to provide cooling, friction and corrosion protection all in one fluid, good engine car oil is ALWAYS something worth investing in to prolong the life and smooth performance of your vehicle.

How Does Engine Oil Work?

Engine oil is one of the most important fluids in your car for a number of reasons. First of all, car oils are probably most well known for lubricating the moving parts of your vehicle's engine to ensure they don’t rub or grind each other and cause unnecessary damage.

Secondly, modern engine oil also contains a variety of additives that help to prevent corrosion, oxidation, harmful abrasion and the deposits of sludge and soot on your engine's metal surfaces. Finally, the detergent that is formulated within your engine oil is important for cleaning away sludge deposits, harmful soot and grime from your engine's internals, helping it run smoother.

Why Are there Different Engine Oils for Different Cars?

Oils are generally formulated in a number of grades and different chemical make ups, depending on the size, fuel type and performance of the engine it's being put into. Some of the more common types of engine oil are 5W 30, broadly suited to general use. 10W 40 is another common oil for car, and comprises a range of base oils. Whether it's 0W 20 or 5W 40, these engine oils vary in viscosity and oil grade to suit smaller and larger engines that operate under particular levels of temperature and pressure, and are made from either mineral (formed from crude oil), semi-synthetic or fully synthetic formulations.

Mineral engine oil, such as Nulon's Mineral Range and Penrite's range of engine oils, are generally suited to older vehicles.

Semi synthetic oils such as Nulon Semi Synthetic is suited for everyday passenger cars and high mileage engines, while full synthetic oils or 100% synthetic engine oils such as Castrol Edge, Nulon Full Synthetic and LIQUI MOLY Synthoil are made for high performance, modern and specialist engines that require the most advanced care levels.
