High quality motor oil is good for your engine

posted on

Q: How does high quality motor oil protect my engine? – Mr. Baker

 

A: Mr. Baker,

Heat and friction is the enemy. Slippery motor oil not only reduced friction between the many fast-moving parts of your engine, but also actually removes heat from the pistons, shafts, and bearings. Think of your engine as the heart of your vehicle, and oil is the blood. As soon as you turn the ignition key, a gear connected to the crankshaft or camshaft will activate the oil pump and propel the oil to all of the moving parts before it returns to the oil pan at the bottom of your engine. High quality motor oil is especially important in today’s automobile engines, designed to operate at close tolerances and high temperatures – between 200 and 250 degrees – for superior performance and emissions.
