There is a point at which a vehicle owner realizes that not all types and brands of oil are created equally. It is at that point that the individual decides that there has to be a “perfect oil” out there for their vehicle and they begin the search to find it. So, it seems rather important to determine just HOW to find that “perfect oil”. This article and those that come after will be focused on that particular goal.

Extraordinary Engine Oil Paradise

Of course, many people make the assumption, as they pursue their “ultimate motor oil” that there is necessarily a “best oil” that will fit everyone’s needs. Some SUPER oil which will, undoubtedly, serve everyone perfectly. But, the extraordinary engine oil paradise that they are looking for is a legend at best. It simply doesn’t exist|cannot be found.

It really is not possible for a single oil to meet the needs of all applications. That’s probably obvious to most. But, it is also not possible for a single BRAND of motor oil to perfectly match the needs of every user. For instance, although a premium synthetic oil like AMSOIL, Redline or NEO may very well be of higher quality than most, that does NOT make any of them the ultimate choice for everyone.

You need to understand the needs of your application if you are ever to find the BEST motor oil to lubricate your engine (or other component). Then you need to take advantage of the valuable motor oil information that can be found around the net (being careful not to just blindly accept everything you read) and use that info to establish which oils fit your needs best.

If you don’t follow a similar research pattern, it is really not possible to make a truly educated decision with regards to proper oil selection for your application. And, thus, you will likely end up with a lubricant that is not meeting your needs in the best way possible.

The oil selections made (synthetic, blend or petroleum, 10w40 vs. 15w40, CJ-4 or CI-4) are likely of little consequence, no matter what anyone tells you, except in the sense that the choices made should be those that will best serve your engine’s needs. As long as they meet these needs, it really will not much matter what oil or brand you decide to use.
