Motor oils - Frequently Asked Questions
What makes modern motor oils not the best choice for aircooled or vintage engines?

Porsche recommends 15,000 mi intervals on their newest water-cooled engines, as does most every German auto manufacturer. Modern motor oils are governed by requirements dictated by auto manufacturers and API standards (among other standard bodies). A rampant problem is sludge formation. Most encompass the need for a very high TBN or total base number for long drain intervals, among other wear factors.

Another consideration is that modern oils are for the most part designed with increasing the longevity of emissions control devices. A good example is Mobil 1 ESP 5-30, formulated to meet the requirements of European manufacturers like Mercedes Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen. These modern oils are deficient in some respect to the oils previously available, making choosing an oil even more difficult and precarious for your older engine. Lastly, fuel economy is the primary motivator for development of new API standards for motor oils. CAFE, or corporate average fuel economy, will be mandated to meet 60 MPG by 2025, pushing for thinner and thinner oils and the addition of more friction modifiers, all of which trade off fuel economy increases for decrease in longevity. Lighter viscosity oils lend themselves to increased oil consumption which requires less anti-wear additives and more detergents to meet current engine cleanliness requirements. Most importantly, these requirements mean modern oils are most certain death for older engines for which these oils were never designed or tested for use in.

  • Should I do used oil analysis?

  • When should I use a race oil?

  • What should I do if I have an older, higher mileage engine and want to use a synthetic motor oil?

  • Should I use a non, partial –synthetic, or full-synthetic motor oil, or perhaps a motorcycle or diesel oil?

  • What viscosity motor oil should I use?

  • What oil filter should I use?

  • Should I use an engine oil flush in my engine?

  • How often should I change my oil?
