Engine Oils and Fluids FAQs
Do I need synthetic oil?
Many modern vehicles are designed to use synthetic oil, which can help provide better engine protection, support performance in hot and cold temperatures, and often last longer between oil changes.
Always check your vehicle handbook or use our Engine Oil Finder to see what's suitable for your car before topping up your oil.
Can I top up my engine oil without changing it?
Yes.
If your oil level is low, you can top it up between services. For the best results, use the same oil specification that's already in your engine.
Can I mix different brands of engine oil?
In most cases, different brands can be mixed if they have the same specification and viscosity grade.
However, it's always best to use the recommended oil for your vehicle and avoid mixing different oil types whenever possible.
How do I know which engine oil is right for my car?
The easiest way is to use our Engine Oil Finder. Enter your vehicle registration, and we'll show you suitable options for your vehicle. You can also find this information in your vehicle owner’s manual.
How often should I check my engine oil?
You should check your oil level regularly, particularly before long journeys. Keeping your oil at the correct level can help protect your engine from failure and ensure your car stays running reliably.
