Oil is the lifeblood of an engine and these days it’s vital that technicians use the correct oil for the vehicle they’re servicing. In the 80’s and 90’s when hot hatches, 16-valve engines and turbos started to become popular, engine oil underwent something of a revolution and that revolution continues today. Incorrect engine oil selection will invalidate a manufacturer’s warranty, it can lead to premature wear and tear of internal components and excessive exhaust emissions; it can damage turbos and also affect the responsiveness of the engine. It probably won’t seize up immediately but over time, problems will develop. Small mistakes can lead to big damage, so it’s better to use the correct engine oil, rather than paying for replacement engine components, or worse still, a complete new engine.

Oil must be capable of much more than just lubricating and cooling: It must function at elevated temperatures and pressures; it must clean away combustion residue, grit, acids, water and fuel particles; it must protect the engine from corrosion. Modern engine oils are high-tech liquids designed specifically for use in certain car models, these days they’re tailor-made replacement parts, just like any other part for a car. Oil grades have diversified and emission regulations have become tighter causing vehicle manufacturers to constantly develop new specifications, so it’s essential to always have up-to-date and accurate information to hand.
