Selecting the correct engine oil should be based on your machine’s specifications and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Important factors to consider include: Viscosity grade (e.g., 10W-30 or 10W-40), operating temperatures and load conditions. It is essential to use an oil that meets the required standards and specifications for your equipment to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Viscosity ratings, such as 10W-30, indicate the oil’s thickness at different temperatures: "10W" represents the viscosity at low temperatures (winter performance). "30" represents the viscosity at high temperatures (operating conditions). Choosing the correct viscosity ensures proper lubrication and protection under various operating conditions.

Oil changes should be performed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, typically outlined in the machine’s manual. Regular oil changes help maintain optimal engine performance, reduce wear and tear, and extend the engine’s lifespan.
