Too little oil or oil that's too old won't have the desired effect and not all oil is good oil. So what should motorists know about it?

BERLIN: Nobody wants their car engine to seize up on the road, least of all because that can get expensive — and so you need to use oil, which cleans the motor and protects it from corrosion.

Unless it says otherwise in the vehicle's manual, it's best to carry the check out after it's driven at least 10 to 15 kilometres and five minutes after you've turned off the motor. There are mono grade oils which are only used either in summer or winter and multigrade oils which can be used all year round.

To make the choice more difficult, most oil manufacturers offer different price categories. So-called long-life oils supposedly last longer, are usually thinner and as high-lubricity oils ensure significantly lower petrol consumption. Oil manufacturer Liqui Moly says the same thing."Lubricant has been a custom-made part for years now," its marketing director Peter Baumann says."You can't put any lubricant in any vehicle, it's technically impossible or at least very risky."
