Premium Lithium Complex 2

Lubricant protects the engine’s metal surfaces from friction and prevents wear that occurs
when the engine parts move against each other.

As a coolant, they absorb heat as it is circulated, thus cooling the engine and helping to prevent
overheating.

As a sealant, they seal tiny space between the piston ring and the cylinder wall to prevent combustion
pressure or engine power from escaping.

As a detergent, they prevent contaminants resulting from combustion and impurities helping to keep
the engine clean.

Engine oils are made up of two important ingredients – base oils and additives. These are carefully selected and skilfully blended to enable the oil to provide maximum engine protection. Base oils are made from crude oil which has undergone certain extraction processes and minor chemical restructuring in an oil. Additives are the “active ingredient” in engine oils. These additives must be replaced through regular oil changes.

You should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations as indicated in your vehicle’s owner manual.

1. Know your engine types: Petrol or Diesel Engine
2. Oil type: Fully Synthetic, Synthetic Blend or Mineral
3. Viscosity or SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) rating
4. Ensure it has the right API (American Petroleum Institute) rating.

The single most important thing that you can do to get longer life from your engine is to change your engine oil and oil filter according to the recommended time intervals in your car manual book. This is a good maintenance practice. Engine oil that properly lubricates the engine system during the first few thousand kilometres can later become thick and even corrosive after long periods of use. It then cannot flow as required and may block the oil filter. This may cause engine damage and seizure in extreme cases. Draining off used oil, according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended oil change intervals also removes abrasive metal particles.

Petron does not recommend adding supplements. According to the American Petroleum Institute (API), “certified oils eliminate the need for supplemental engine oil additives.” The use of any oil supplement is not recommended by OEMs and it may void the new-car warranty.

Without analysis of the oil, it’s impossible to tell how quickly your motor oil becomes depleted. That’s why all automotive companies have a specific time and mileage intervals recommended for your vehicle. We strongly recommend that you follow the oil change frequencies shown in your owner’s manual. These recommendations vary by model year and manufacturer and are influenced by your driving habits, conditions and environments.

Typically mixing Petron synthetics and mineral oils will not cause any problems. The oils are compatible with each other, should it be necessary to mix them. However, the superior performance of a fully synthetic may not be fully optimised.

Always follow the oil drain interval recommended by the vehicle manufacturers (OEM). In general, fully synthetic engine oils will last longer than synthetic blend engine oils. Synthetic blend engine oils will last longer than mineral engine oils.

No special requirement or flushing is necessary when switching from other engine oil.
