I believe The Motor Oil Bible is an absolute essential for every vehicle owner. You simply won’t find a more complete yet easy to understand resource for learning all you need to know about lubes & filters. David Mann – Lubrication Specialist & OEM Engineer
No ONE OIL TYPE OR BRAND can ever be right for everyone. So, instead of TELLING you which oil you should use, I’m going to teach you how YOU CAN KNOW which oil and filter is right for YOUR vehicles and equipment.
"The Motor Oil Bible" was originally written about 15 years ago and has been updated a couple of times since. The previous update was about 170 pages long, but is now nearly 10 years old and quite outdated.
This latest update and expansion adds nearly 200 pages of additional content to the book, with updates to the rest. Literally, thousands of hours of research, experience and writing have gone into this latest volume.
This latest updated is ONLY AVAILABLE HERE at MotorOilBible.com or through Amazon.com as a paperback version.
In fact, I’m going to tell you below just exactly what information is contained in the pages of "The Motor Oil Bible", but, keep reading, because I’m also going to show you how reading this one simple book could quite possibly save you over $4,000 EVERY SINGLE YEAR on your vehicle expenses.
Of course, you might be thinking to yourself, "I don’t even HAVE $4,000 in vehicle expenses each year", but, chances are YOU’RE WRONG, and I’ll explain to you why I believe that, but you’ll have to keep reading.
Viscosity is one of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of motor oil lubrication. Many people "think" they understand viscosity but have fallen victim to alot of misconceptions. Many others struggle with knowing just what viscosity will really work best for THEIR vehicle and THEIR driving conditions, and asking their mechanic is often futile at best or misleading at worst.
Never again be unsure about what viscosity to use. You will understand motor oil viscosity backwards and forwards.
There are those that preach that synthetic is ALWAYS best no matter what because it offers better lubricating, cooling and protective qualities. There are also those that believe petroleum oil is plenty good enough and that synthetics are simply a waste of money. Neither is correct.
I am a firm believer in matching the lube to the application. Synthetic oils ARE higher quality lubes and DO offer significantly enhanced lubricity, cooling and protective qualities (and I will explain – IN DETAIL – exactly how and why that is) … BUT, synthetics are NOT the best option for every situation even though there ARE many people who could benefit from an upgrade in lubrication.
"The Motor Oil Bible" will make it abundantly clear to you whether synthetic lubricants will offer any significant value to YOUR application and YOUR situation. You will never again have to wonder if synthetic is REALLY better and if it’s right for you.
I don’t get so technical that your eyes are going to glaze over, but I do get technical enough that you’ll have a very solid understanding of the refining, manufacturing and blending processes.
Once you’ve narrowed down the viscosity that you need and whether you need a petroleum or synthetic basestock oil, you’re then left with the task of comparing the various oils that are available and meet your criteria. This can be a daunting task if you don’t really understand what the data on the technical specification sheets mean.
Many oil companies publish the technical specifications for their oils online or are willing to send them to you via email, fax or in the mail. Some provide far more useful information than others, but most will at least give you something. However, all that data does you little good if you don’t know which specifications are most important to YOUR situation. It also does you no good if you don’t know what the specifications mean, how to read the numbers, whether a higher or lower value is better, etc.
I will detail for you the testing process used for each technical specification you are likely to see on an oil companies data sheet. I’ll explain to you what the numbers mean, why they are useful, which ones apply more or less to certain driving conditions, etc. By the time you’re done, you’ll know all of the tests inside and out and will be able to explain them to anyone who wants to know. You’re going to be an oil guru.
Let’s face it, there is alot of information floating around the internet related to synthetic oils – some of it good, some of it not so good. I’m going to separate the fact from the fiction and explain WHY it can be considered fact or fiction. If you’ve ever considered moving to synthetic but had questions about the process, the potential issues you might run into, etc. you’ll want to get a copy of this book.
Again, these oils and filters are NOT for everyone. Not every vehicle is a good candidate for these products, nor is every individual going to be comfortable with extended oil drains or even have need for them. However, that being said …
The fact is, hundreds of thousands (likely even millions) of motorists and companies have proven the capability and viability of SEVERELY extended oil drains, as have numerous laboratory and field study based investigations. Dozens of SAE technical papers have been written detailing the results of many of these studies. ALL of them make it abundantly clear that extended drains are quite possible and, if using the right lubes and filters, will NOT result in increased engine wear or any other detrimental result.
Only you can decide if this is something you are comfortable trying, but, oil analysis is the best friend of those who choose to utilize extended oil drains, and I’ll be discussing oil analysis in the book as well. You certainly don’t have to… Read more…
