In this section of our specialist store you will find a complete selection of car lubricants<\/strong> designed to ensure the proper operation of your vehicle\u2019s mechanical system. Our range includes everything from latest-generation synthetic oils to mineral and semi-synthetic options, covering the needs of both modern passenger cars and older models.<\/p>\r\n Using the right fluid is crucial to minimize friction between moving parts, aid cold starts, and clean internal engine impurities. These products are aimed at private drivers and industry professionals looking for reliable replacement parts that meet the technical requirements for diesel, petrol, and hybrid engines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Its main function is to create a protective film between moving metal parts to prevent friction wear and seizure. In addition, it helps cool the engine by dissipating accumulated heat, prevents internal corrosion, and keeps parts clean by suspending deposits and carbon build-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The frequency depends on the base type (synthetic or mineral) and the vehicle model, typically varying between 10,000 and 30,000 kilometres or one calendar year. It is essential to consult the owner\u2019s manual to follow the official maintenance intervals set out by the manufacturer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n These numbers indicate the SAE viscosity. The first digit followed by \u201cW\u201d (Winter) refers to the oil\u2019s fluidity when cold during start-up, while the second number indicates its viscosity at operating temperature (100\u00b0C). Using the correct index ensures immediate lubrication on start-up and protection at high temperatures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Technically it is possible if both have the same viscosity and specifications (ACEA\/API standards), although it is not the most recommended practice. Mixing different base oils or additives can alter the fluid\u2019s protective properties, so a complete oil change is advised whenever possible.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.enriquerequena.com\/en\/category-product\/vehicle-oils-lubricants-additives\/car-lubricants\/","name":"Car Lubricants","slug":"car-lubricants","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":146,"meta":[],"menu_order":28,"yoast_head":"\nCriteria for choosing the right oil<\/h3>\r\n
