Why Kwik Fit Recommends Mobil Engine Oil

Engine oils are vital to the running of your car, and choosing the right one can make a huge difference in the overall health of your vehicle. Making sure that viscosity and quality are just right will mean less wear and tear on your car’s internal parts.

Because of this, Kwik Fit recommends Mobil Engine Oil for a number of reasons, and we would like to share with you the qualities, benefits and details of Mobil Engine Oil so you can keep your car up and running, and clean as a whistle. Read on to find out more.

Why Does Your Car Engine Need Oil?

Engine oil plays a critical role in keeping your engine running smoothly and efficiently. Without regular oil maintenance, including regular checks and changes, your engine would suffer from increased friction, overheating, and damage, which in turn can lead to reduced efficiency and potentially engine failure. Regularly changing and topping up your engine oil is essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly and prolong its lifespan.

There are a number of key reasons as to why your car engine needs oil - from lubrication to cooling your engine. Let’s explore the main benefits below:

Lubricating your engine

One of the main uses of engine oil is that it helps to lubricate your engine. It helps to reduce the friction between the moving part of your engine by adding a thin film between the parts therefore reducing the potential wear and tear of your engine parts and extending the lifespan of your engine overall.

Cooling & cleaning your engine

Although your car’s cooling system manages your engine’s heat, engine oil also plays a vital role in temperature control. When your car runs, it heats up, so the engine oil's role is to circulate through these hot spots to absorb and carry away excess heat, preventing it from overheating. Similarly with cleaning, as the engine oil passes through, the detergents and dispersants in the oil help to clean the contaminants such as dirt, dust, and microscopic metal particles that can enter the oil system.

Sealing

The main parts of your engine such as the cylinders and pistons must maintain a tight seal to ensure efficient combustion - the role of engine oil here is to fill the microscopic gaps between the piston rings and the cylinder walls, creating an airtight seal.

Corrosion protection

As the main parts of your engine are made from metal that can rust and corrode, the engine oil forms a thin protective barrier between the parts to minimise the chance of corrosion. Additionally, engine oil contains additives that neutralise acids formed as byproducts of combustion, further protecting the engine from corrosion.

Mobil Engine Oil’s Quality

Mobil Engine Oil is known for its superior quality. This oil is designed to provide optimal protection and performance for your vehicle's engine. One key aspect of engine oil is its viscosity - this directly affects how well the oil flows and protects your engine. Viscosity, is essentially the thickness of the oil, and determines how easily the oil circulates through your engine, particularly in extreme temperatures. Whether you need a simple top-up when your oil levels are low or a full oil change, Mobil’s engine oil offers the reliability and performance that modern engines demand.

Similarly to other brands of engine oil, Mobil’s engine oil is named to include the season with the letter ‘W’ for example standing for ‘Winter’ and the number before it indicating how well the oil flows at low temperatures. The lower the number, the better it flows in cold conditions, ensuring that your engine receives adequate lubrication during cold starts.

By choosing Mobil at Kwik Fit, you're not only opting for a trusted brand but also ensuring your engine receives the best possible care. This premium oil range is designed to help your engine withstand daily driving, reducing the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs, and ultimately extending the lifespan of your vehicle.
