FAQ
1. How do I find out which oil my car needs?
You can find the right engine oil for your vehicle in the owner’s manual or in your car’s service booklet. The specifications, viscosity classes (e.g. 5W-30, 10W-40) and approvals recommended by the manufacturer are listed there. Many modern vehicles also have a digital on-board computer that provides information on oil change intervals and the recommended oil type.
Alternatively, you can also use oil finder tools on manufacturer websites or seek advice directly from a garage or specialist dealer.
2. Which engine oil for which car?
Each vehicle requires a specific engine oil that is matched to the engine type, driving conditions and manufacturer approvals. Modern gasoline and diesel engines often require synthetic or semi-synthetic oils with low viscosity (e.g. 0W-20 or 5W-30), while older vehicles or high-performance engines often require other specifications. The right choice also depends on climatic conditions, driving style and operating environment.
3. Which brand makes the best engine oil?
There are many well-known manufacturers of engine oils, including BASINOL, Mobil 1, Castrol, Liqui Moly, Shell and Motul. However, the best engine oil depends less on the brand and more on the manufacturer approvals, specifications and viscosity required for your vehicle.
BASINOL relies on high-quality formulations with OEM approvals from leading automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz, the Volkswagen Group, BMW, MAN, Porsche, Scania, Volvo, MTU, Ford, PSA, the Fiat Group, GM, Renault, Jaguar and Land Rover.
These approvals guarantee that our engine oils meet the highest quality standards and offer optimum protection and maximum performance for modern engines.
