THE IMPORTANCE OF USING THE CORRECT ENGINE OIL

Clarksun Automotive

I'm sure you've heard this before: "Oil is the lifeblood of your engine". Using the wrong oil can have serious consequences, you could accelerate engine wear causing premature engine failure.

Apart from lubricating the engine components the right oil can help with fuel economy and emissions. The right oil for your vehicle is critical to your engine's durability and lifespan.

Using the correct viscosity of oil is vitally important for your vehicle's engine. Viscosity refers to the engine oil's weight and thickness (resistance to flow). Oil that is too thick or thin won't provide the necessary protection for your engine, which can result in costly damage. The number before the W is the viscosity at cold or ambient temperatures and the number after the W is the viscosity at operating temperatures.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
