Top 5 Engine Oil Mistakes Car Owners Make (And How to Avoid Them!)

Introduction

Is your car not performing as smoothly as it should? Issues like sluggish acceleration, increased engine noise, or a sudden “Check Engine” light could signal that your vehicle’s lubrication needs attention. As one of India’s trusted engine oil manufacturers, Aimsol Lubricants is committed to ensuring your engine stays protected under the toughest conditions—reducing wear and boosting efficiency with every drive.

Below are the five most common mistakes car owners make with engine oil, plus expert guidance and product recommendations from Aimsol Lubricants to help you keep your vehicle in peak condition.

1. Skipping Regular Oil Changes

Many owners delay oil changes, which can lead to premature engine wear and costly repairs. Aimsol Lubricants’ Car Engine Oil and Diesel Engine Oils for Commercial Vehicles are formulated with advanced anti-wear additives to maximize engine life and minimize friction, making timely oil changes even more crucial.

Tip: Schedule oil changes according to your vehicle’s manual and use trusted oils like Aimsol 20W40 PSO Genuine Engine Oil for petrol and diesel vehicles that require 20W40 API-certified oil.

2. Using the Wrong Oil Grade

Selecting the right oil grade is essential for engine health. Using an incorrect grade can cause poor lubrication and higher engine temperatures. Aimsol offers a range of viscosity options like Aimsol 4T SAE 15W50 MA2 for bikes and Aimsol 15W40 CI-4 PLUS for heavy-duty diesel vehicles, ensuring higher thermal stability and engine protection.

Solutions: Always refer to your owner’s manual for the correct grade, or choose Aimsol’s certified products for reliable performance in all climates.

3. Ignoring Oil Leaks

Noticing a spot under your car? Oil leaks can quickly drain levels, damaging your engine. Aimsol’s lubricants are engineered to reduce wear, help detect leaks early, and safeguard your machinery. If you use specialized products such as Aimsol Synthetic Technology 20W50 Car Engine Oil, you benefit from enhanced protection against sludge and deposits that often lead to leaks if unchecked.

Tip: Inspect for puddles, burning smells, or smoke. Address leaks promptly for continued protection.

4. Not Checking Oil Levels Regularly

Modern engines require a consistent oil supply. Skipping checks can result in dangerously low oil and potential engine failure. Aimsol’s Bike Engine Oils and Car Engine Oils come with formulations that maintain optimal viscosity, making it easier to monitor and maintain healthy levels.

Tip: Check with the dipstick when the engine is cool and top up as recommended.

5. Relying on Low-Quality Engine Oils

All engine oils are not the same. Using inferior products leaves your engine exposed to excess sludge, temperature extremes, and more frequent breakdowns. Aimsol Lubricants’ range—including 2 Stroke Engine Oils, Coolants, Gear & Transmission Oils, and specialty options like Aimsol Fork/Shocker Oil—offers advanced, high-performance additives for cleaner, more efficient engines.

Benefits of Aimsol quality: Prolongs engine life, boosts fuel efficiency, and reduces long-term costs.
