Engine oil FAQs

What is the purpose of engine oil in commercial vehicles?

In vehicle engines there are many moving parts which create heat and friction when rubbed against each other, leading to engine wear and corrosion. Engine oils are designed to create a consistent barrier between moving parts and to dissipate heat, keeping engine damage to a minimum.

What are the main types of commercial engine oils?

There are 3 main types of engine oils for commercial engine oils which are:

• Mineral oils
• Fully synthetic oils
• Semi-synthetic oils

Mineral engine oils

Mineral oils are typically derived from crude oil and are used in older engines that require less advanced lubricating technology. These are normally less expensive than synthetic oils, but are thicker and flow through engines slowly which results in higher fuel consumption and more frequent oil changes. They are ideal for businesses who operate older commercial fleets.

Synthetic engine oils

Synthetic oils are created through complex chemical processes and are designed for high performance engines. While they are more expensive than mineral oils, they provide superior performance over their mineral oil counterparts – reducing wear, fuel consumption and the need for regular engine maintenance.

Semi-synthetic engine oils

Semi-synthetic oils are made from a blend of mineral and synthetic base oils. These oils offer commercial fleets a balance between performance and cost.

What do the viscosity grades and viscosity index of engine oils mean?

Like many liquids, engine oils’ properties change at different temperatures. The viscosity grade of an engine oil indicates the thickness and flow of the oil at a specific temperature. The first number indicates the winter viscosity (with the w standing for ‘winter’) while the second number indicates the hot or summer viscosity. For example, 10w-40 engine oil would have a 10 winter grade viscosity and a 40 summer grade viscosity.

Lower grade viscosities mean the oil will be more fluid while a higher grade indicates that it will be thicker. Oils with a low viscosity grade flow through the engine more easily and are more effective in colder temperatures while higher viscosity oils provide a thicker layer of protection when operating heavy loads at a high temperature.

‘Viscosity index’ refers to how the viscosity changes as the temperature changes. A high viscosity index means that the viscosity is more stable across a broader range of temperatures whist a low viscosity index indicates that the viscosity changes quickly as the temperature changes.

How often should the engine oil be changed in commercial vehicles, and why is it important?

As a general rule of thumb, oil changes are typically recommended every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for commercial vehicles. However, the frequency may vary based on a range of factors such as the oil used, the quantity applied previously, the driving conditions, and time of year. Your OEM may also advise changing your oil each season so, it’s important to regularly check your engine oil levels and follow OEM recommendations as your vehicle(s) may require top ups more or less frequently.

What factors can affect or influence the recommended oil change intervals for commercial vehicles?

There are a variety of factors that can affect the oil change intervals and the efficiency of your commercial fleet including:

• Driving conditions – the weather, traffic or driver may affect engine performance and affect the need for an oil change
• Engine health – damaged engines will use more engine oil
• Type of oil used – the quality and type of engine oil used will affect oil change intervals
• Vehicle age – older vehicles may have less efficient engines which require more oil
• Vehicle mileage – vehicles driving more miles will require more regular oil changes

What are the benefits of using synthetic engine oils in commercial fleets compared to conventional oils?

Synthetic and semi-synthetic blends provide engines with greater protection against wear and improve fuel efficiency whilst reducing maintenance costs and deposit formation. These benefits can extend engine lifespan and lower the environmental impact of your vehicles.

What is oil analysis, and why is it a valuable practice for commercial vehicle maintenance?

Oil analysis helps to identify any issues with your oils or lubricants that may be affecting the performance of your engines or equipment. At Beesley Fuels we employ an onsite technical team that can test your oil to ensure that it’s fit for purpose. We offer both standard and premium lubricant testing to ensure that your vehicle’s oils are healthy and maximising the performance of your engines. Call 0330 123 1144 today to book an oil test with a member of our technical team.

What are the recommended conditions for storing commercial engine oils to maintain their quality and shelf life?

You should always check your oil’s label for the recommend storage practices, but in general engine oils should be stored at room temperature in a clean, dry environment and away from direct sunlight.

How can I store bulk engine oil onsite?

Bulk engine oils that need to be stored for extended periods of time must be kept in appropriate barrels or storage tanks that meet both OFTEC and BS requirements. At Beesley Fuels we supply a range of storage solutions

How can I store and handle commercial engine oils safely to prevent contamination and environmental hazards?

Always store engine oils in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area away from any electrical equipment. When an oil’s seal is broken, you must ensure that the container remains capped when it is not in use to prevent external contamination. There are also a range of ancillary products that can help you handle your oils safely such as hand pumps, barrel taps, spill kits, drip trays, hose and nozzle kits and more.

If you have multiple oils stored onsite, all oils and dispensing equipment must be correctly labelled to prevent cross-contamination between products. When oils are stored in tanks, extra care must be taken to safeguard against leaks or spills when refilling.
