Although some people see engine oil as a necessary evil, its role is far more important than it seems. Essential to the engine's smooth operation, to avoid friction between the various metal components, oil ensures fluid movements, keeps the various parts in good condition, ensures optimum performance, lower fuel consumption and less noise.
Oil, an essential component
Oil also helps keep the engine at a normal temperature, limiting deformation of mechanical parts, cleaning the engine by removing filings, protecting it from corrosion and ensuring watertightness.
However, not all oils have the same properties. With varying degrees of fluidity, tailored to different temperatures and uses, they are mainly composed of a mineral or synthetic base to which a number of additives are added to obtain the desired properties.
And finally, for every type or generation of engine, the right oil should be used. This is essential to keep your boat engine running at peak performance.
