Can Lubricating Oil Be Used as Engine Oil?

[DeHarley]

Engine oil is indeed a type of lubricating oil, but it is only one kind of lubricating oil, and not all lubricating oils can be used as engine oil. Here are specific methods for choosing engine oil for cars: 1. Driving conditions: If you frequently drive in congested areas, have an older vehicle, or engage in long-distance heavy-load transportation, the viscosity of the lubricating oil can be appropriately increased. 2. Engine type: For naturally aspirated engines, mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-grade lubricating oil with better fluidity, preferably fully synthetic oil.
