Make sure that you are using the right grade of oil that is required by your car or truck. Oil grades are measured in viscosity, which determines how much the oil can resist flow. Grades of oil include:
• 0W (this is the thinnest) (“W” stands for winter)
• 5W to 25W
• 20 to 60 (60 is the thickest)
Check with the owner’s manual that comes with your car for more information about the grade of oil that is required by your car.
Make sure that you use the right grade of oil to ensure that your car runs as smoothly as it should in all types of weather.
If you find that you are always running out of oil when you need it you can buy car oil in bulk at stores such as Costco so that you always have oil available for your vehicle.
If you can’t change the oil in the car yourself ask a family or friend to give you a hand.
