A few years ago it did not matter what oil was used in cars as the engine technology was not as advanced as today.
The late model cars today need the right grade and the right brand with the necessary additives and properties.
If you are in doubt what brand and grade to use it would pay to check with the manufacturer before settling on an oil to use.
Some owners that use their cars for only short trips need to change their oil at regular intervals regardless of the mileage their cars are doing.
By changing their oil they prevent moisture build up and possible damage in their cars engine.
Some cars today also need the right engine coolant/antifreeze.
It can be very harmful to use the wrong type of coolant in some cars.
Borates and silicates can block some cars aluminium radiators and hot spots can damage you cars head bring about cracking and head distortion.
It is also important to change your coolant at the manufacturers recommended intervals to retain all the properties that coolant/antifreeze has.
These properties will protect all the parts your coolant system comes into contact with your cars mechanical components.
