Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs
Q1. What is Engine Oil Used For?
A: Engine oil is used to lubricate, clean and cool the internal parts of an engine. It also helps reduce friction and wear between moving parts. It is also important to have clean oil in your engine, because this stops mechanical parts from wearing out and corroding. Essentially, engine oil not only helps to maintain optimal performance, but it can also extend the life of your engine.

A: Generally, engine oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles (or every 6 months) depending on your vehicle model and type of oil used. Take a look at our blog post to find out more about oil change intervals!
Q4. Can You Mix Engine Oils?
Mixing engine oils is generally not recommended because it can dilute additives and reduce its effectiveness. If you need to top up, use the same type and viscosity (like 5W-30 or 10W-40) as the existing oil. Always follow your vehicle's manufacturer recommendations for the best performance.
