Engine oil is an indispensable element in the car, which ensures the normal operation of the engine. With a low quality of motor fluid, the parts of the mechanism wear out quickly and become unusable. A high-quality lubricant forms on all parts a thin, strong film that prevents the friction of parts between each other, and thus extends the service life. One of the important factors of the lubricant is its viscosity: the smaller it is, the better for the engine in the case of sudden temperature changes.
The article presents the best engine oils, 2015-2016 rating.
