The engine parts in your car’s engine are in constant friction. While this is a part of the design, it is important that these parts are kept lubricated with the use of engine oils. Making use of a variety of engine oil types will reduce friction, help reduce wear and tear and keep the car from overheating (which is often a result of the unlubricated friction between mechanical parts). 

The seven primary functions of engine oils are to: 

1. minimize friction and reduce wear 
2. keep engine parts clean 
3. reduce friction and therefore keep the engine cool 
4. form a dynamic seal in locations such as the combustion chamber
5. cushion the blow of mechanical shock
6. prevent/minimize internal component corrosion
7. act as an energy-transfer medium
