Motor Oil and Your Car
How does oil affect fuel efficiency? The thicker the oil, the more energy (fuel burned) needed to pump it.
Engine sludge is as nasty as it sounds, with more disgusting nicknames like ?mayonnaise sludge? (soft consistency) and ?black sludge? (hard consistency). Sludge is old and congealed oil resulting from excessive contamination, heat and oil additive breakdown. Sludge typically forms over a long period of time and generally builds up when a vehicle owner skips oil changes or travels many miles past the recommended oil change interval.

Your auto manufacturers list the oil quantities required for your engine in your owner?s manual.
