A-Z of diesel engine
First, it is good to know that diesel oil is a by-product produced during petroleum processing. In other words, diesel oils are defined as the oil used for engine lubrication. This product is very similar to gasoline engine oil and thus, care should be taken using diesel oil to avoid confusion with oils for gasoline engines.
Various types of diesel oil:
- Castrol EDGE Turbo 5W-40 oil for Diesel engine: this brand of diesel oil is widely used for high power and efficient engines and guarantees excellent quality of the product. The important point is that this brand improves long-term performance of the engine to the maximum level possible. Some of the main advantages of the products are:
- Is of excellent quality
- Reduces friction

Important factors to consider choosing diesel oil:
Price: always bear in mind that cheap products are less likely to provide appropriate function for the engine. On the other hand, expensive diesel oil does not necessarily guarantee the quality and performance of the product.
Cleaning capacity: one important factor affecting the price of diesel oil is its ability to clean the engine. You should make sure that the oil you choose can thoroughly clean the engine.
Compatibility: Good diesel oil shall be compatible with a variety of gasoline and diesel engines i. e. each engine oil has designed for a specific type of engine and thus, care should be taken choosing appropriate oil.

Performance: Good quality diesel oil significantly reduces the fuel consumption of the system. Therefore, the quality of the product is a major determent of its price.
Viscosity: with its pivotal role in improving the engine performance, viscosityis a fundamental factor influencing price of the diesel oil.
