Regular oil, also known as conventional oil, is a type of lubricant used in various machinery and engines. It is derived from crude oil and is the most commonly used oil in the automotive industry. Regular oil is used in both gasoline and diesel engines and is available in different viscosities to suit different engine types.
One of the main components of regular oil is mineral oil, which is obtained from petroleum. It goes through a refining process to improve its purity and performance. Different additives are also mixed with mineral oil to enhance its properties, such as reducing wear and tear, preventing sludge buildup, and improving viscosity.
Regular oil is suitable for use in standard engines that operate under normal conditions. It provides adequate lubrication for common driving applications, such as daily commutes and highway driving. However, it may not be suitable for heavy-duty or high-performance engines that require higher levels of protection and performance.
