Engine oils lubricate the different components of an engine. Proper lubrication allows the engine to function properly, prevents unnecessary loss of power and improves its performance. It also lowers the friction between different components, prevents wear and tear, reduces the chance of corrosion, dissolves impurities and eliminates the overheating of engine parts. While purchasing engine oil for your vehicle it is important to buy oil with appropriate specifications. Engine oil which is bought without proper specifications can lead to wear and tear of various engine parts of the vehicle, loss of power and can cause damage to the engine. Ideal engine oil has to be chosen after going through vehicle manual or after proper consultation and reviews.

Viscosity
Viscosity of engine oil is a prime factor to consider while purchasing engine oil. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a fluid to flow or change shape. It indicates the thickness of a fluid. Viscosity specification of engine oil can be found in the oil can or in the packaging. Viscosity is indicated through letters and numbers in the packaging. Number which ends with ‘W’ refer to the flow of oil during winter season and the second number show the flow of oil at normal temperature. Thin oil which is of low viscosity is suitable during cold temperature. High viscosity thick oils are suitable for high temperature. Thin oil has lesser engine friction and the engine start easily in freezing climate. Thick oil is not only appropriate for high temperature but also seals the bearings and engine properly. The manual of the vehicle specifies the right viscosity which is suitable for your vehicle.
Grade of oil
Labels in the packaging mention the grade of oil indicating their performance levels. American Petroleum Institute (API), ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association) are such ratings. API rating indicates the performance level of oil. The API grading required for your vehicle can be found through the user manual of the car. ACEA rating is the lubricant rating of the car based on different parameters such as soot thickening, fuel economy, oxidative thickening etc. Both API and ACEA standards have to be considered before purchasing engine oil for your vehicle.
