What brand is Lodge motor oil?
2 Answers
Lodge motor oil is a British motor oil brand, with the LODGE (Lodge) brand originating in the UK in 1904. Motor oil selection: Naturally aspirated engines have relatively general requirements for oil quality and can use mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil. If the car owner has a higher budget, fully synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-performance motor oil with better fluidity. It is best to use fully synthetic oil. Brand selection: For choosing a lubricant brand, if you prioritize long-lasting oil performance, Mobil lubricants can be selected; if you value the oil's engine cleaning capability, Shell motor oil is recommended; if you need lubricants with strong oil film toughness, Castrol can be chosen. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon buildup during high-speed operation, so Shell motor oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be selected.
When choosing engine oil, I also pay attention to smaller brands. Luoji Oil is a domestic brand I heard about in a car enthusiasts group, and the price is indeed cheap. I used it once in a domestic car and felt the engine responded quickly, with reduced noise after startup. Engine oil needs to be changed regularly; I usually do it every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. If the dipstick turns black, it's time for a change. The key point is viscosity matching—if the manual specifies 5W-30, don’t change it randomly. Luoji might have API SN certification, but it’s not as stable as big brands like Mobil. Car maintenance requires attention to detail; the oil filter should also be replaced simultaneously to prevent impurities from accumulating and damaging the engine. In fact, the brand doesn’t matter—performance parameters are what really count.
