Finding The Right Motor Oil For Your Car - How To Determine Which Oil Is Best For You
(NAPSI)—When shopping for motor oil, you may have to choose between rows of products with different viscosities, various additives and between synthetic or conventional oil.
What’s best and what’s not? That depends. The easiest way to determine what motor oil is right for your vehicle is to consult your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s specifications and certifications. Using the recommended oil combined with changing your oil at recommended intervals can help to protect your engine.
To extend the life of your car and to save money, consider using synthetic motor oil. Synthetic oil is not just for vehicles used under extreme conditions, such as racing or off-road. The benefits of using synthetic motor oil are just as relevant to high-performance vehicles as they are to daily drivers. Synthetic oils such as Royal Purple provide longer intervals between oil changes, saving you money and disposing less waste into the environment.
Royal Purple offers SAE Engine Oils that are API certified “SN,” providing outstanding performance and protection for both gas and diesel engines. Additional benefits include longer service life and emission system compatibility. SAE engine oils are ideal for stock, 2011 and newer, unmodified gas and diesel engines under factory warranty.
Many vehicle owners today are searching for ways to keep their cars running longer. More used vehicles are being purchased that have limited warranties.
To keep these vehicles running longer, choose Royal Purple High Performance Street (HPS) motor oil, which offers an elevated zinc/phosphorus anti-wear additive and Synerlec proprietary technology. Using HPS can significantly reduce heat and wear to protect your engine and will also reduce engine deposits, keeping your engine clean.
How often you should change your oil depends on the kind of driving you do. If you primarily make short trips that are less than 10 miles, you will want to change your oil at least twice a year. If you are making longer commuter trips of 20 miles or more, you are safe following your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations, which could be up to 10,000 miles.
Once you’ve successfully purchased and changed the oil in your vehicle, the next step is to recycle. Royal Purple has partnered with Earth 9-1-1 so you can find a recycling center that will accept used motor oil in addition to other recyclable household items.
