How to extend engine oil change intervals.

Do you know how to extend engine oil change intervals significantly.


There are many benefits when you extend engine oil change intervals: Not only in saving money, but also to the environment.

Typically prescribed engine oil change intervals are 15,000Km for petrol engines and 10,000 (In some cases even 5,000Km) for diesel engines. But is it possible to extend engine oil change intervals?

What’s the best low temperature motor oil?

How to determine the best low temperature motor oil.

The best low temperature motor oil beats all other lubricants by getting the lubricant to where it’s needed as quickly as possible after startup, while still retaining lubricity at operating temperatures.

Low ambient temperatures negatively affect the flow characteristics of a lubricant. Dropping below the pour point with a higher viscosity lubricant not only restricts oil flow to bearings and other machine elements, but also

Synthetics reduce the impact of oil on the environment.

Modern synthetic lubricants can reduce the impact of oil on the environment.

Reversing the global pollution trend synthetic lubricants can reduce the impact of oil on the environment. Consuming more energy, natural resources and threatening the environment are trends that have to be reversed for the wellbeing of the planet.

One product that has a particularly bad reputation is oil; with many organisations working on reducing the impact of oil on the environment, whilst still meeting the

What is the correct synthetic oil change interval?

Why is it possible to extend the synthetic oil change interval?


It’s generally understood that the synthetic oil change interval can be extended compared to regular oils; but what should the correct synthetic oil change interval be?

We all understand that we need to change oil: Whether it’s in the chip fryer or in our car engines! But What is the correct synthetic oil change interval? And why does it need changing in our cars?

Industrial synthetic oils can solve problems.

Industrial synthetic oils can solve problems that regular oils can’t.


Although mineral lubricants can work in many applications industrial synthetic oils can solve problems that these oils were never designed to cope with. Whenever there’s a problem with a piece of industrial equipment that touches on lubrication, the smart money inevitably believes that industrial synthetic oils can solve problems. But what are the facts? What can reasonably be expected of the performance of synthetic industrial oils?

What is synthetic motor oil?

The explanation of what is synthetic motor oil.

What is synthetic motor oil? Everyone should know that it’s an artificial oil! Well; right and wrong. Strange it may seem there are also mineral lubricants that are classified as synthetic motor oils.

Synthetic base stocks are man-made and tailored to have a controlled molecular structure with predictable properties, unlike mineral base oils, which are complex mixtures of naturally occurring hydrocarbons.

What is the classification of base oils used in lubricants?

How is the classification of base oils used in lubricants made?



The API classification of base oils used in lubricants is the most important determinant of an oil’s performance: But how is the classification of the base stock oils made? In order to fully understand base oil definition we also have to look at the evolution of lubricant base oils.
