In severe operating conditions, the lubricant has proven itself to be excellent, which is also confirmed in user reviews. It does not form carbon deposits at all, providing lubrication of all friction pairs in the engine, which, under heavy loads, is a key factor in ensuring the careful use of the motor resource.

This is a real find for the "rare" cars of the dashing 90s. Mineral engine oil Lukoil Standard SF / CC 10W-40 is used as a generous source of refueling for engines with increased oil consumption, since it is characterized by a very low cost. The expediency of pouring this oil into old foreign cars is very doubtful - a foreign engine requires more delicate care. But for the products of the domestic auto industry, it will fit perfectly. The only serious drawback is its heat resistance - at low temperatures, the quality parameters of the oil change dramatically, and not for the better.

Advantages:

• oxidative stability at temperature jumps;
• very low price;
• universality;
• retention of viscosity throughout the entire cycle of use.

Flaws:

• a sharp change in quality parameters at low temperatures.

General Motors Dexos2 Longlife 5W30 synthetic engine oil is in high demand among ordinary motorists. And the point here is far from being a famous brand. Despite the rather mediocre parameters of quality and operating time (contrary to the longlife prefix in the name), it has good washing abilities, perfectly lubricates the rubbing surfaces of the part, does not form carbon deposits and does not freeze at low temperatures. What else, one wonders, is needed to get the title of “best”? The answer is simple: an increase in the period of work from shift to shift and a more humane price.

However, owners continue to pour this oil into the engine on an ongoing basis.It perfectly copes with its tasks, does not lose viscosity in cold weather and perfectly dissolves sludge deposits, removing them at the next replacement. In addition, Dexos2 Longlife engine oil does not enjoy the attention of scammers and there are practically no fakes on the market.

• counterfeit-proof canister;
• good lubricating and cleaning abilities;
• low price.

Flaws:

• not detected.

Around SHELL Helix Ultra 5W-40 there are rumors that the oil burns out very strongly at high speeds. In this case, the problem may be related to the counterfeiting of a branded product with low-quality raw materials, since the operational capabilities of the original are simply amazing. In diesel engines, the oil change period is 10-12 thousand kilometers, which is very, very good.The additive package reliably protects engine parts and prevents their contamination. With such characteristics, the given cost looks quite justified, which makes the oil one of the best representatives of its class.

Advantages:

• amazing quality product
• oil regularly serves for 10-12 thousand kilometers;
• large operating temperature range;
• high protective and washing abilities.

The use of Eni i-Sint 0W-40 guarantees reliable protection of engine parts even during extreme driving in the harshest conditions. The pour point of this lubricant is -54 ° C, which guarantees the engine start even in remote regions of the Far North.

Owners who fill in Eni i-Sint 0W-40 on an ongoing basis are completely satisfied with their choice. Motor oil is not among the most common, so there are no fakes on the market.In the reviews, a decrease in fuel consumption is especially noted, there is practically no oil waste, even with constant engine operation at maximum loads. High-strength oil film reduces the load when starting the engine and carefully consumes the resource of the turbine.

With SHELL Helix HX7 semi-synthetic engine oil, there is a very twofold situation. On the one hand, it costs less than its competitors, since it is “semi-synthetic”. On the other hand, it has an obvious loss in performance, largely related to the operating temperature range. But a curious fact and its direct advantage is a long service life. The average duration of use of one serving of semi-synthetic oil is 3-5 thousand kilometers. This composition is able to perform its function for 5-7 thousand kilometers, but its blackening is noted at the average standard mark.

At the same time, the owners could not detect carbon deposits and any noticeable consumption of engine oil, which is an excellent result for high-performance engines. The reviews highly appreciate the washing characteristics and reasonable price. Among the shortcomings, extremely low frost resistance is noted, therefore, semi-synthetic oil is not recommended for use at low temperatures - it significantly loses its fluidity.

Oil used for four-stroke gasoline and diesel engines with a wide operating temperature range.In hot summers and cold winters, it shows itself in the best possible way - it does not form unwanted soot and does not freeze even in severe frosts (it easily withstands -35 degrees Celsius). But the oil copes with the washing function, alas, not very well. In general, one shift is enough for 7-8 thousand kilometers, even with an aggressive and merciless driving style. But for greater certainty, it is worth resorting to changing the oil every 5-6 thousand kilometers, since its cost allows it to be done.

Advantages:

• good value;
• high quality;
• large operating temperature range.

Flaws:

• many poor quality fakes.
