How To Choose The Best Motor Oil For Your Car

10w 40, 20w 50, 5w 20 … engine oil comes in a vast range of styles, thicknesses and blends, some would say that there is too much choice, but how do you know if you’ve picked the right one?
Speaking of choices, there must be more manufacturers than blends, so is one manufacturer better than the other? Would a ‘home brand’ work as well as what is perceived to be the best brand? Should you just pick any oil off the shelf and be done with it?

Well, certainly any engine oil is better than no engine oil, but you could be setting yourself up for a disaster if you choose wrongly.

Full Synthetic Oil

Considered to be the best motor oil, but that does depend on your need.
A full synthetic oil generally offers the most protection, but there are some things to be aware of; if you change your oil in your high mileage car from mineral or semi to a full synthetic, it’s more than likely that your engine will start burning oil – from the previously mentioned glazing of the bore.
With this in mind, a modern engine is designed to run on full synthetic – the manufacturing tolerances are closer, the processes allow for this kind of oil to be used without a problem, but it needs to be used from the start (after the running in period).
