how do people 'check' their oil to know how good it is? just because you use an oil and have no issues doesn't make it better than the next guy. we have examples on here of people using the cheapest oil they can find and having no issues for many years. other people swear black and blue that the product they use is the ducks guts.
the only sure way is to get it analysed after you drain it to see how much metal is in it, or pull the engine apart. thats a bit extreme though. some advice that i offer to people is to choose an oil with a reasonably good VI and obviously one that suits their vehicle, and stick with. i'm a big fan of sticking with the same product, whether it be oil or fuel etc. some benefits aren't fully appreciated until after prolonged use. for the record i use shell helix ultra. |
