Motor Oil Bible

What is the Motor Oil Bible?  The Motor Oil Bible is a book devoted to examining how we use motor oil in our cars and whether we are doing so in a way that ultimately benefits us (i.e. makes our cars last as long as possible).  It carefully lays out the case for synthetic motor oil and quality filtration.

In the book, it is revealed that for many years already, there have been superior motor oils on the market which are not being utilized by the majority of drivers.  These are known as synthetic motor oils.  Rather than being made from petroleum, with all of its accompanying contaminants, they are designed specifically for protection and lubrication of your engine, without any of the extra substances in them that cause so many problems for petroleum oil and require additives to control.  These oils last longer than traditional oils and when combined with proper air and oil filtration, can extend the life of your engine significantly.  Their only
downside is that they cost more than traditional petroleum based motor oils.

Why haven’t we heard more about synthetic motor oils?  There are a number of reasons.  People are in the habit of changing their oil every 2000 or 3000 miles because they have been doing so for a long time and are afraid to change.  Oil manufacturers don’t really want to see this change, as they make more money when we change our oil this much.  Plus, synthetic motor oils and better air and oil filters cost more-another fact which keeps people from making the switch.  However, as the Motor Oil Bible reveals in its pages, in the long run you will recoup the expense in engine performance and by extending your car’s life.
