The quality of motor oil is of paramount importance: first and foremost for optimal lubrication. High-quality oil creates a protective film between the moving metal parts inside the engine, reducing friction and preventing wear.

It dissipates heat, helping to maintain the ideal operating temperature, while low-quality oil easily loses this ability, putting the engine at risk of overheating. Good oil contains detergent additives that help keep the engine clean, preventing the formation of harmful deposits that can reduce efficiency; it also contains anti-corrosion additives that protect metal parts from oxidation and rust, caused by combustion by-products.

Naturally, all of this helps maintain performance and prolong the life of the engine.
