Engine oil is an oil-based lubricant used to minimize the friction between the movable parts in an automotive engine and the transmission chamber. The automotive engine oil also helps in maintaining the temperature inside the engine chamber by reducing friction and also prevents the engine parts from corrosion. An engine with proper lubrication performs with maximum efficiency with better durability, thus engine oil is preferable option in maintaining smooth operation of engines.
