Oil changer interval depends on lubricant, performance specifications and operating conditions.It used to be normal to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but with modern lubricants most engines today have recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 to 7,500 miles.

SAPS stand for Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus and Sulphur.

Semi synthetic oils are a mixture of synthetic and mineral oil. They’re cheaper than fully synthetic oil, but don’t reach the same levels of performance and engine protection. Fully synthetic oils are 100% synthetic and aren’t mixed with mineral oil.

When lubricant is applied between the moving parts of a machine, a thin layer is formed there and moving surfaces do not directly rub against each other. Interlocking of irregularities is avoided to a great extent and movement becomes smooth. Thus friction is reduced.

The simplest way to do this is to put it inside the container your new oil came in, and take it to your local council recycling centre to be disposed of.

Grease containers should be stored indoors in dry, cool and clean environments. Normal storage temperatures should range from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). 

At both low and high temperatures, synthetic oils enjoy better viscosity and stability than conventional oil or synthetic blends. Full synthetic oils are designed to flow quickly in winter temperatures and resist extreme heat, allowing your engine to run smoothly year-round.
