Your car is full of incredibly complex and advanced parts that work seamlessly together to help your car run perfectly. One of the most integral, if not the most important is the engine. Yes, the engine powers the car, but how does it keep running so smoothly with all of the moving parts. Motor oil, that’s how.

Inside your engine there is a huge combination of parts that are moving at incredibly high speeds. When these parts move this fast, heat is created and of course there is a huge amount of friction. There needs to be some way to cool off the engine and prevent metal on metal contact and with motor oil that happens. Motor oil works to keep the engine lubricated so there is not any metal on metal contact and carries away the heat keeping the engine cool. Additionally, the motor oil also helps to clean the engine by preventing buildup of sludge as well as other impurities that can find their way into the engine.
