Each Application a a Specific Motor Oil
Once a vehicle owner becomes educated enough about motor oil to realize that there is a difference between the various brands and types of oil on the market, a quest begins to find the best motor oil to fit their application(s). This article and those that follow are designed to shed just a bit of light on how that quest should progress in order to REALLY find the best oil for YOU.
Magical Motor Oil Utopia
Of course, many people make the assumption, as they pursue their "ultimate motor oil" that there must be a "best oil" that will fit everyone's needs. Some SUPER oil that will serve everyone perfectly. But, the extraordinary engine oil paradise that they are looking for is a legend at best. It simply doesn't exist|cannot be found.
It really is not possible for a single oil to meet the needs of all applications. I'm sure that's probably obvious to most. But, it is also not possible for a single BRAND of motor oil to perfectly match the needs of every user. For instance, although a premium synthetic engine oil like AMSOIL, Redline or NEO may very well be of higher quality than most, that does NOT make any of them the best choice for all users.
Thus, you'll need to carefully consider your situation and application and what motor oil characteristics will be most valuable to your particular needs (such as low temperature or high temperature operation, long oil drains, low internal friction for improved fuel economy, better wear protection, low volatility, etc.). Once these characteristics have been established, then begin looking for the oils that best offer those lubrication qualities.
Following this objective method is really going to be the most effective way to ultimately find an oil that will meet all of the particular needs of your application, thereby extending it's useful life and offering you the greatest economy of use.
The oil selections made (synthetic or petroleum, 5w40 or 15w40, CJ-4 or CI-4) are likely of little consequence, no matter what your Uncle Joe tries to tell you, except in the sense that the choices made should be those that will best meet the needs of your application. As long as they meet these needs, it really will not much matter what oil or brand you decide to use. - 21396
