FAQ’s

  • What is motor oil and why is it important?
    Motor oil is a lubricant designed to protect your engine by reducing friction, removing heat, and preventing wear. Without proper motor oil, engine parts grind together and can cause severe, expensive damage. It also keeps the engine clean by trapping dirt and debris. Compared to other fluids, motor oil plays the single most important role in engine longevity.
  • Is motor oil the same as engine oil?
    Yes ! motor oil and engine oil mean the same thing. Both terms refer to the lubricant used inside your vehicle's engine. Some people prefer “engine oil,” while others use “motor oil,” but they are identical in purpose and function.
  • What is the difference between 5w30 and 5w40 motor oil?
    Both 5w30 and 5w40 motor oil flow similarly in cold temperatures (“5w”), but at high temperatures:

    5w30 remains thinner

    5w40 stays thicker and provides more protection at high heat

    Drivers in hotter climates or demanding conditions often choose 5w40, while 5w30 is generally preferred for daily driving and fuel efficiency.
  • Is 10w40 better than 5w30 or 5w40?
    Not necessarily. The best choice depends on your engine:

    10w40 motor oil is thicker at cold start and high heat

    It’s suitable for older engines, high-mileage vehicles, or engines with slight oil burning

    Modern cars typically perform better with 5w30 or 5w40

    Always check your owner’s manual before switching.
  • How often should I change my motor oil?
    Most vehicles require motor oil changes every:

    5,000–7,500 km for synthetic blends

    10,000–15,000 km for full synthetic motor oil

    However, driving habits, climate, and engine design can affect this interval.
  • What happens if I use the wrong motor oil grade?
    Using the wrong motor oil (for example choosing 10w40 instead of 5w30) can cause:

    Reduced fuel efficiency

    Poor cold starts

    Increased engine wear

    Potential long-term engine damage

    Always match your engine oil grade to the vehicle’s specifications.
  • Which motor oil is best for high-mileage cars?
    For engines with over 100,000 km:

    10w40 is often recommended because it’s thicker

    It can reduce oil burning and improve lubrication
  • Can synthetic motor oil damage older engines?
    No! this is a myth. Modern synthetic motor oil is safe for both new and old engines. It provides better protection, cleanliness, and performance than conventional oils. Just ensure the oil grade (5w30, 5w40, 10w40) matches your vehicle requirements.
  • How do I know if my motor oil needs to be changed?
    Common signs include:

    Dark, dirty oil on the dipstick

    Engine knocking or ticking sounds

    Dashboard oil light

    Burning oil smell

    Poor engine performance

    Checking your motor oil regularly prevents serious issues.
