Engine oil is not divided into household or non-household use, it depends on the vehicle. Some of the better engine oil brands include Mobil 1/0W-20 Full Synthetic, Castrol EDGE/0W-40, LIQUI MOLY Premium/5W-40, Valvoline SynPower/0W-20, and Motul 8100X-cess/5W-40. First: Mineral oil. If the vehicle does not have high mileage, around 5,000 kilometers in six months, and can ensure timely maintenance, or if it has a low displacement, is non-turbocharged, and is an economical vehicle, then mineral oil is more suitable for individuals. It can meet the lubrication performance requirements of the vehicle while making maintenance more economical. Second: Semi-synthetic oil. It is a blended product made by mixing mineral oil and full synthetic oil in a certain proportion and adding additives. Its performance is better than mineral oil, making it a very balanced product with good cost-effectiveness. It has an oil change interval of 7,500 kilometers and is suitable for most vehicle models. Third: Full synthetic oil. It performs much better in low-temperature fluidity compared to mineral and semi-synthetic oils. In winter, with the same viscosity, full synthetic oil allows the vehicle to start faster and reach lubrication points more quickly. At high temperatures, due to its better oxidation resistance, full synthetic oil has a much longer oil change interval than semi-synthetic and mineral oils, typically over 10,000 kilometers. Although the cost is higher, considering the number of oil changes and performance, it may not necessarily be much more expensive than the first two types of oil.
