In the automotive world, engine oil is one of the most important car parts in your car. you can usually identify the oil as a thick, dark brown liquid that is made from petroleum. Found in internal combustion engines, It lubricates and cools the motor and reduces wear and tear on the engine. Car engine oil also provides a number of other benefits such as reducing friction, which in turn reduces fuel consumption, lowering emissions, and increasing horsepower.

It also carries heat away from the motor and cools it down by carrying off some of the heat through its thin film.
