Inexpensive car oils, sold under the brand of chain stores, do not differ in quality, which branded fluids of well-known oil companies have. Automotive expert Pyotr Bakanov talked about this in an interview with socialbites.ca. The interlocutor noted that such oil can be used only for filling between service maintenance, washing the engine with it or pouring it into a car, which is not a pity.
“The motor oil sold under the brands of the big chain stores is usually produced in some legal petrochemical plants. Another issue is that its quality is far from the best. Inexpensive third-class oil is usually poured into such cans. This does not mean that the engine of your car will immediately lock, but if you constantly use such a fluid, there is a possibility that problems such as friction, increased power or the appearance of dense soot in the cylinders. ”said Bakanov.
The interlocutor noted that it is unlikely that an owner who looked after his car would buy cheap oil from a chain store. Basically, it is bought by the owners of the old Zhiguli, who in case of engine failure will be able to fix it on their own as soon as possible and not spend a lot of money on spare parts. Also, the expert emphasized that this type of lubricant is used in car warehouses and poured into various equipment to save money.
Ministerov noted that it is better not to experiment and pour cheap oils into new cars.
“The fact is that car manufacturers run rigorous oil tests when putting cars on the market, and then recommend that you buy the one that’s really suitable for a particular car. Cheap oil manufacturers often fail to pass serious tests because there is no such task. It is more important to sell the goods,” he said.
Jan Haytseer, former Vice President of the National Automobile Association (NAU) declarationmodern engines are demanding on the quality of the oil, so you must strictly follow the regulations for its replacement.
