MPM oil: why is the right engine oil so important for your Honda? And how do you choose the right one?
If you just look at MPM's motor oil line, there are plenty of choices to make. How can you be sure you choose the right one? It can be difficult to find the right motor oil. Fortunately, you are not alone. In this blog, we will tackle that problem and help you choose the right oil for your Honda. Let's start with the question of why it is so important for your Honda to make the right choice of engine oil.

5 reasons why choosing the right engine oil is so important
Engine oil contributes significantly to extending the life of your engine. A good engine oil:
- provides the necessary lubrication between moving parts, resulting in less friction and wear. This will significantly reduce maintenance costs in the long run, which your bank account will certainly appreciate.
- is designed to provide optimal lubrication to your Honda's engine parts. This translates not only into smoother performance, but also into better protection against wear, corrosion, and friction-related damage.
- such as those from MPM, contributes to heat dissipation in your engine. This prevents overheating and keeps your engine at a healthy operating temperature, even during demanding rides.
- has cleansing properties. It keeps harmful deposits and dirt build-up in the engine to a minimum. This keeps the internal engine parts clean and free of blockages, which in turn contributes to better performance and longer life.
- affects the fuel efficiency and overall performance of your Honda. MPM oil is formulated to reduce friction and improve internal efficiency, which can result in better fuel economy and impressive performance.
MPM oil has special formulas that are made to ensure that the parts of your Honda engine wear out less quickly and that you can enjoy your car for longer.
In short: it saves your wallet!!
Not just every engine oil is suitable for your Honda
I think we've made our point. Motor oil is important, but… not just any motor oil is suitable for your Honda.
Cheap is expensive
It is now clear that it is better not to go to cheap alternatives such as the Action. Rather choose a reliable brand such as MPM Oil. Using the wrong engine oil can cause serious problems for your Honda, such as reduced performance, increased wear and even engine problems. That could be an expensive joke. Just always make sure you choose engine oil that meets your Honda's specifications.
How do you choose the right MPM oil for your Honda?

Viscosity
Viscosity refers to the thickness of the oil at different temperatures. This is indicated by numbers such as "5W-30" or "10W-40":
- The first number, followed by the letter 'W', indicates the viscosity (oil thickness) at low temperatures.
- The second number indicates the viscosity at higher temperatures. The higher the number, the thicker the oil is when the engine is warm and the better the engine remains lubricated.

It is crucial to choose an oil with the correct viscosity to match the ambient temperatures in which your Honda will be used.
Synthetic and conventional oil
MPM oil offers both synthetic and conventional motor oils. Synthetic oils generally provide better performance and protection, especially in extreme temperatures. However, conventional oils can be a budget-friendly option if you mainly do standard driving.

When does your Honda need an oil service?
How often you oil your beloved Honda depends on:
- the type of oil you use
- your driving conditions
- the type of your Honda
In general, it is recommended to change the oil every 7.500 to 10.000 kilometers. But always check your Honda's manual to see if it contains specific guidelines. This can sometimes vary.
Are you skilled enough yourself?
Carrying out an oil service is easy to do, but it does require some basic knowledge and the right tools. If you are handy and comfortable doing basic car repairs yourself, you can probably perform an oil service yourself. Make sure you follow the right steps, use the right tools, and work carefully.
