I truly hope that no one here reads your post and think that it is good information. Most common reason of premature engine failure is the use of incorrect engine oil. The best oil to use in your engine is the one recommended by the engine manufacturer, not your mechanic, not your ustad and not even the lubrication manufacturers. The engineers who designed the engine in your car know the tolerances and which oil will work best. For change, take their word for what it�s worth. It will do you good.
