Engine Oil – IS THE BRAND REALLY IMPORTANT?

The question “what brand of oil” keeps coming…… but what REALLY matters is the grade.

Unless you are considering using budget off the shelf oil from your local supermarket, the brand is far less important than making sure you are using the right grade and specification.
Well known manufacturers such as Castrol, Penrite, Mobil and Shell all make very high quality lubricants suitable for everything from 50cc mopeds to 200 hp+ superbikes.

True or False……

1 The most expensive oil is the best. FALSE

2 You can use a different grade as long as its top quality oil. FALSE

3 You can’t use synthetic oil in older engines. FALSE

4 You can’t switch from mineral to synthetic oil in the same engine. FALSE

5 Semi-Synthetic oil is just as good as full synthetic oil. FALSE
