/* Modern engines become more and more sophisticated. Therefore the demands towards engine oils have changed, too. Rather simple oils can potentially cause problems with the technologically advanced engines - but it can also happen that the modern oils cause problems in older engines. In a case like this, the operating manual of your vehicle is your best choice: the information you need is found in the section “Vehicle Maintenance”. There you will find all necessary information as specified by the manufacturer such as VW 507 00, BMW Longlife 04, MB 229.5 or specifications (eg, with: ACEA A1/B1 or API SG). Specifications refer to a classification of motor oils which have been developed by different institutions. In this case, the main specifications are ILSAC, ACEA and API. */

The best way to get the right oil for your vehicle is to consult your service book also known as the operating manual since it is the most reliable source. Keep in mind that modern lubricants are different and serve different purposes. Operating supplies and parts of structural elements must be coordinated to work perfectly since it often appears that expensive high quality oils cause engine damage rather than improve the mileage and the life of your vehicle. To work at ideal level the engine requires a fitting oil. If the oil is wrong, great damage will be the result. Also, using the wrong oil will cause restrictions in the warranty.

Numbered Lists

1. Nearly every manufacturer has his own manufacturer's approvals.
2. An important feature of the lubricant is the "viscosity". It is the measurement of the flow-resistance or the viscosity of a liquid. For example, honey is thick, whereas water is thin. So honey has a higher viscosity than water.
3. Manufacturer approvals can be found in our shop in the section "approvals".
4. A key criterion concerning the life of the engine is that the oil reaches the last lubricating point in the engine even at low temperatures in a time of 2.8 seconds when using “0W-XX” oils or in 48 seconds when using “15W-XX” oils.
