Product type
Mineral engine oil is a type of lubricant derived from refining crude oil. It is composed of base oils and various additives that enhance performance characteristics such as viscosity, oxidation stability, and wear protection. Mineral engine oils are commonly used in internal combustion engines, providing essential lubrication to reduce friction and wear on engine components.
| Base oil type | Refined crude oil |
| Viscosity grades | SAE 10W-30, SAE 15W-40, SAE 20W-50 |
| Additives | Detergents, dispersants, anti-wear agents |
| API service categories | API SN, API SM, API SL |
| Flash point | Typically above 200°C |
When selecting mineral engine oil, consider the viscosity grade suitable for your engine's operating conditions. Check for API service categories to ensure compatibility with your engine type. It's also important to specify the required additives based on the manufacturer's recommendations. Quantities may vary based on engine size and application, so be clear about your needs when requesting a quote.

Mineral oil is derived from crude oil, while synthetic oil is chemically engineered for enhanced performance.
Typically, every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but refer to your vehicle's manual for specific recommendations.
It is generally not recommended, as it may affect performance and protection.
Mineral oil provides good lubrication and protection for older engines and is often more cost-effective.
It is best for older vehicles or those without specific synthetic oil requirements.
SAE rating indicates the viscosity of the oil, with lower numbers for cold temperatures and higher for hot temperatures.
