Engine oil is possibly the most essential lubricant for an engine. It ensures that the engine runs optimally, is properly lubricated, runs longer, and parts are less prone to wear and tear. Combustion occurs in the engine resulting in contaminant build up overtime. These impurities then form deposits, the job of the engine oil is to reduce the formation of deposits. On the market, there are several different types of engine oils available. Continue reading to know about the three types of motor oils.

Mineral oil

Mineral oil is the simplest and crudest form of motor oil. This is also the most affordable form of engine oil. It is commonly used for simpler engines and non-heavy-footed drivers. It has the least amount of lubricant but does the job. The replacement interval is also the shortest.

Semi-synthetic engine oil

Then there’s the semi-synthetic motor oil. It is a mixture of synthetic motor oil and mineral oil. As a result, they cost more than mineral oils but are still more affordable than synthetic motor oils. They still do not provide the level of lubrication and protection of synthetic motor oils but are better than conventional mineral oils.

Synthetic engine oil

Synthetic engine oil or fully synthetic motor oil is probably the best oil one can buy for their vehicle. It offers excellent protection and is prepared after thorough testing and research. They have fewer impurities because they have a longer service life and replacement interval. It also has better heat resistance and lubricating properties. However, it is the most expensive because of the research and development costs incurred. Furthermore, synthetic motor oils are not suitable for older vehicles.
