ArabiaWeather - In the winter, the car needs a set of equipment to maintain its good performance.
One of the main obstacles facing some motorists is ignorance of the most effective type of engine oil, which performs its role efficiently in light of low temperatures.
Car makers and global oil companies offer a simple solution that removes the confusion of millions around the world, and helps them choose the most appropriate type of oil according to temperatures.
To learn how to choose the right type of oil for your car, please see the following:
Firstly
Vehicle Manual The "Catalogue" operation manual contains the appropriate types and viscosities of oils according to the temperatures and environment surrounding the vehicle. This is either in the maintenance or technical specifications section.
secondly
The key to oils Oil companies write letters and numbers on the outer packages. Through these letters and numbers, it is possible to identify the most appropriate oil and its ability to perform its work in hot and cold climates. Example: (10W-40) and (5W-30) These symbols are usually written on the oil packages, and the letter W symbolizes the winter season, while the number on the left indicates the minimum temperature at which the oil can operate without freezing, while the number indicates on the right at the higher temperature without losing the required viscosity.
It is noteworthy that motor oils, in addition to their work in producing a safe friction process inside the engine, they also work in maintaining the engine temperature and purifying it from impurities resulting from friction and surrounding environmental factors.
