An Indispensible Motor Oil Handbook
Just to be clear, I'm NOT going to sell you on any particular brand or type of oil and/or filter. EVERY application is different. Every driver is different and has different goals for their vehicles and for the lubrication and filtration of those vehicles.
No ONE OIL TYPE OR BRAND can ever be right for everyone. So, instead of TELLING you which oil you should use, I'm going to teach you how YOU CAN KNOW which oil and filter is right for YOUR vehicles and equipment.Click Here!
In fact, I'm going to tell you below just exactly what information is contained in the pages of "The Motor Oil Bible", but, keep reading, because I'm also going to show you how reading this one simple book could quite possibly save you over $4,000 EVERY SINGLE YEAR on your vehicle expenses.
Of course, you might be thinking to yourself, "I don't even HAVE $4,000 in vehicle expenses each year", but, chances are YOU'RE WRONG, and I'll explain to you why I believe that, but you'll have to keep reading.
How to Choose the Right Viscosity Oil
Viscosity is one of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of motor oil lubrication. Many people "think" they understand viscosity but have fallen victim to alot of misconceptions. Many others struggle with knowing just what viscosity will really work best for THEIR vehicle and THEIR driving conditions, and asking their mechanic is often futile at best or misleading at worst.
Never again be unsure about what viscosity to use. You will understand motor oil viscosity backwards and forwards.
When & Why to Choose Petroleum or Synthetic
There are those that preach that synthetic is ALWAYS best no matter what because it offers better lubricating, cooling and protective qualities. There are also those that believe petroleum oil is plenty good enough and that synthetics are simply a waste of money. Neither is correct.
I am a firm believer in matching the lube to the application. Synthetic oils ARE higher quality lubes and DO offer significantly enhanced lubricity, cooling and protective qualities (and I will explain - IN DETAIL - exactly how and why that is) ... BUT, synthetics are NOT the best option for every situation even though there ARE many people who could benefit from an upgrade in lubrication.
"The Motor Oil Bible" will make it abundantly clear to you whether synthetic lubricants will offer any significant value to YOUR application and YOUR situation. You will never again have to wonder if synthetic is REALLY better and if it's right for you.
How Oils Are Made & What Goes Into Them
When comparing motor oils and deciding upon drain intervals and such it's valuable to know how oils are put together - which will help you understand the differences between various oils (because of their differing basestocks, refining and blending processes, additive packages, etc. There is a considerable section of the book devoted to helping you fully understand the "making of a motor oil".
I don't get so technical that your eyes are going to glaze over, but I do get technical enough that you'll have a very solid understanding of the refining, manufacturing and blending processes.
What Do the Technical Specifications Mean
Once you've narrowed down the viscosity that you need and whether you need a petroleum or synthetic basestock oil, you're then left with the task of comparing the various oils that are available and meet your criteria. This can be a daunting task if you don't really understand what the data on the technical specification sheets mean.
Many oil companies publish the technical specifications for their oils online or are willing to send them to you via email, fax or in the mail. Some provide far more useful information than others, but most will at least give you something. However, all that data does you little good if you don't know which specifications are most important to YOUR situation. It also does you no good if you don't know what the specifications mean, how to read the numbers, whether a higher or lower value is better, etc.
I will detail for you the testing process used for each technical specification you are likely to see on an oil companies data sheet. I'll explain to you what the numbers mean, why they are useful, which ones apply more or less to certain driving conditions, etc. By the time you're done, you'll know all of the tests inside and out and will be able to explain them to anyone who wants to know. You're going to be an oil guru.
Frequently Asked Questions About Synthetic Oil
Let's face it, there is alot of information floating around the internet related to synthetic oils - some of it good, some of it not so good. I'm going to separate the fact from the fiction and explain WHY it can be considered fact or fiction. If you've ever considered moving to synthetic but had questions about the process, the potential issues you might run into, etc. you'll want to get a copy of this book.
There ARE Extended Drain Capable Oils & Filters
Again, these oils and filters are NOT for everyone. Not every vehicle is a good candidate for these products, nor is every individual going to be comfortable with extended oil drains or even have need for them. However, that being said ...
The fact is, hundreds of thousands (likely even millions) of motorists and companies have proven the capability and viability of SEVERELY extended oil drains, as have numerous laboratory and field study based investigations. Dozens of SAE technical papers have been written detailing the results of many of these studies. ALL of them make it abundantly clear that extended drains are quite possible and, if using the right lubes and filters, will NOT result in increased engine wear or any other detrimental result.
Only you can decide if this is something you are comfortable trying, but, oil analysis is the best friend of those who choose to utilize extended oil drains, and I'll be discussing oil analysis in the book as well. You certainly don't have to analyze the oil at every oil change, but, for the first couple of times that you choose to extend your oil drains (IF you do), an oil analysis is a very "black and white", concrete way of establishing if your oil and filter are good for continued use - so it's not a guessing game.
Everything You Need to Know about Air & Oil Filtration
Proper lubrication of your engine is COMPLETELY dependent upon good filtration. I don't care how good your oil is, if you don't keep it filtered well, it won't be long before it is worthless. So, it pays to know everything you can about filtration.
As with oil, many filter manufacturers provide data regarding their filters. Unfortunately, often the way that data is presented is VERY misleading and often VERY lacking in substance. For instance, many filter manufacturers will make statements such as, "Our premium line of oil filters are rated at 10 microns" or "Our filters will remove particles as small as 8 microns".
Neither of these statements mean ANYTHING at all. Filters are not "rated" for certain micron levels, they ARE tested for filtration efficiency related to certain micron sized particles. In other words, it can be said that a filter offers 97.3% efficiency at removing 15 micron particles on a single pass. But, saying that the filter will remove particles as small as 15 microns is meaningless, since no efficiency data has been supplied. Chicken wire can remove particles as small as 15 microns as well - it just won't be very efficient at it.
In this book you'll learn all about the differing test methods used in evaluating oil and air filters, how to spot propaganda vs. actually useful data. You'll learn what the primary characteristics are that you should be looking for in a good filter. You'll also learn about "bypass" oil filtration which has effectively been used for YEARS by millions of motorists, company fleets, military fleets and the like to extend oil drains nearly indefinitely - through the use of periodic filter changes and oil analysis to verify the viability of the used oil within the engine.
The Truth About Motorcycle Specific Oils
For years motorcycle manufacturers have charged HUGE premiums for OEM branded motor oils that have been, by and large, crappy oils. However, because motorcycle owners were afraid of voiding their warranty or messing up their bike, they've paid the hefty pricetag for these mediocre oils "just to be safe".
In this book I will explain, in great detail, just exactly how to determine the differences between various oils as they relate to motorcycle applications. We'll discuss API certification and how that relates to choosing a quality oil for your bike. And, I'll make the case, quite effectively, I might add, for throwing out just about every OEM brand motor oil you might currently own in favor of "real" oils that will offer significantly better protection and performance (and, no, I'm not going to tell you to go buy "Brand X" cause it's the best).
A Whole Bunch More
The book is 135 pages (and will be even longer and contain even more content once the new revision is complete - which you'll get for free if you purchase the current version). I could not possibly describe for you on this page ALL of the information you will glean from the book. However, I hope I've given you a pretty good idea here of what you'll learn. Next I'll detail the actual structure/layout of the book content.
Here's a synopsis of the actual chapters/information contained within the 130+ pages of "The Motor Oil Bible" PDF document. I think you'll find that it's very thorough.
Feel free to click the big red button to the right, for a COMPLETE look at the first 15 pages of "The Motor Oil Bible" (no contact information or anything necessary - the pages will immediately open in a small pop-up window when you click the button).
And, to prove to you that knowing about lubes and filters is incredibly valuable to virtually anyone, I'd like to point out a few things about the TRUE and COMPLETE expenses of owning a vehicle and just how much of that money can be saved by properly lubricating that vehicle.
If the individual purchasing that vehicle drives the typical average 15,000 miles year and gets 25 mpg (probably high for many people), at today's fuel prices (around $2.50 per gallon here in the US), that will run an extra $1500 per year for fuel.
Figure in 3,000 mile petroleum oil changes at about $25 each, and you've got another $125 per year for oil and filters. (plus the time to DO the oil changes or wait for them to be done).
The average vehicle protected with conventional lubes and filters will last about 150,000 miles, which, at 15,000 miles per year, is about 10 years of service. Thus, total expenditures over the course of that 10 years are: $32,000 (for vehicle purchase) + $15,000 (for 10 years of fuel at $1500 per year) + $1250 (for 10 years of oil changes at $125 per year) = $48,250!.
So, if it costs a total of $48,250 (not even accounting for maintenance and repair items outside of oil/filter changes) over 10 years, that's a total of $4,825 per year, just to drive a vehicle.
And, if that person happens to have a longer commute to work and puts 25,000 miles per year on their vehicle, their annual costs could rise considerably as they would hit the 150,000 mile mark in only six years. Thus, that $48,250 expense is only spread over six years, amounting to an annual expense of as much as $8,042 per year (nearly double)!
Driving a more expensive luxury vehicle? Your costs could easily be even higher, considering the more pricey initial pricetag AND, typically, more expensive repair work. Drive alot for work (maybe you're a realtor or the like), you'll go through cars like water, raising annual expenses even further.
It only makes sense that people want to slash these costs as far as possible and proper vehicle maintenance - especially lubrication and filtration can go a LONG way toward making that happen.
For the 15,000 mile/year driver, that's a savings of over $2400 per year. For the 25,000 mile driver, that's a whopping $4,021 savings EVERY SINGLE YEAR!
What could you do with an extra $4,000 this year?
Now, I know this is going to be tough to understand, but, let's give it a shot. First, the fact that this test was conducted at all, suggests that there ARE various and wide ranging filtration efficiencies available on the market. Second, according to this study, moving from a 40 micron filter to a 15 micron filter reduced engine wear by 70%!
POP QUIZ: How much longer will your engine last if you can reduce engine WEAR by 70%? It's actually NOT what you probably think. It's not 70%. Consider this. If you cut engine wear in HALF (50%), it makes sense that engine life should be DOUBLED. Thus, cutting engine wear by 70% (considerably more than 50%) will actually FAR MORE THAN DOUBLE your engine's useful lifespan.
The added cost? Believe it or not, the difference in price between a standard 30 or 40 micron paper media oil filter and a premium synthetic media 15 micron filter is only about $10 per filter (maybe even less in many instances). Now, on the surface, if you didn't know how much engine wear you could save by upgrading your filter, that might seem like a HUGE increase.
But, consider this. First, some of these higher efficiency oil filters are actually designed for longer change intervals (as much as 4 or 5 times as long - easily making up for the additional filter cost). But, even if they weren't. Even if you changed them every 3,000 - 6,000 miles like a cheaper conventional filter, over the life of your vehicle, the additional filter cost would amount to (AT THE ABSOLUTE MOST) about $500 over 150,000 miles.
That's peanuts compared to the savings in engine wear and the increased engine longevity. We already said that you could easily save between $2,500 and $4,000 PER YEAR by doubling your vehicle's useful life. Over 10 years that's a savings of $25 - $40,000 for a simple $500 expenditure in filter upgrades.
That's a MINIMUM 5,000% return on your filter upgrade investment!
When was the last time you had an investment turn that kind of profit over that short of a period?
Well, let's get right to it:
Oil is the life blood of your engine, so it pays to know what's the best. Depending on your situation and your goals, that MAY or MAY NOT be a synthetic oil of some type. Fortunately, "The Motor Oil Bible" isn't just a big sales pitch for synthetic oils - although it WILL make the case for their superiority in certain situations.
The purpose of "The Motor Oil Bible" is to make sure that you understand motor oils and synthetic oils SO WELL that you will have ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED to wisely choose the right oil for your application. If it turns out that synthetic is a good option for you, then the benefit from reading this book is only enhanced.
Just to be clear, I'm NOT going to sell you on any particular brand or type of oil and/or filter. EVERY application is different. Every driver is different and has different goals for their vehicles and for the lubrication and filtration of those vehicles.

So, How Does All This Info Actually Help You?
A fair question that deserves an honest answer. Depending upon your situation, how new or old your vehicles are, how you drive them and how long you want to keep them, the answer to that question may vary quite a bit. However, one thing is certain. In virtually ALL cases, significant money can be saved, over the life of just about ANY vehicle, by simply having a good working knowledge of lubricants and filters and putting that knowledge to good use for your vehicles.And, to prove to you that knowing about lubes and filters is incredibly valuable to virtually anyone, I'd like to point out a few things about the TRUE and COMPLETE expenses of owning a vehicle and just how much of that money can be saved by properly lubricating that vehicle.
$8,042 Per Year in Vehicle Expenses?!
SERIOUSLY! You may find this hard to believe - I did too until I started crunching some numbers - but there are a large number of motorists that are easily spending this much per year on each vehicle they own, and they don't even know it. Of course, not everyone is forking over this kind of cash, but let me run some numbers by you, and YOU can decide whether you are one of these individuals.Are You One of Them?
An average new vehicle costs about $25,000 to purchase new. However, many motorists these days will finance the vehicle for a full 5 years (60 months) to keep their payments down. At current auto loan interest rates, that could actually mean a total FINANCED value of $32,000.If the individual purchasing that vehicle drives the typical average 15,000 miles year and gets 25 mpg (probably high for many people), at today's fuel prices (around $2.50 per gallon here in the US), that will run an extra $1500 per year for fuel.
Figure in 3,000 mile petroleum oil changes at about $25 each, and you've got another $125 per year for oil and filters. (plus the time to DO the oil changes or wait for them to be done).
The average vehicle protected with conventional lubes and filters will last about 150,000 miles, which, at 15,000 miles per year, is about 10 years of service. Thus, total expenditures over the course of that 10 years are: $32,000 (for vehicle purchase) + $15,000 (for 10 years of fuel at $1500 per year) + $1250 (for 10 years of oil changes at $125 per year) = $48,250!.
So, if it costs a total of $48,250 (not even accounting for maintenance and repair items outside of oil/filter changes) over 10 years, that's a total of $4,825 per year, just to drive a vehicle.
And, if that person happens to have a longer commute to work and puts 25,000 miles per year on their vehicle, their annual costs could rise considerably as they would hit the 150,000 mile mark in only six years. Thus, that $48,250 expense is only spread over six years, amounting to an annual expense of as much as $8,042 per year (nearly double)!
Driving a more expensive luxury vehicle? Your costs could easily be even higher, considering the more pricey initial pricetag AND, typically, more expensive repair work. Drive alot for work (maybe you're a realtor or the like), you'll go through cars like water, raising annual expenses even further.
It only makes sense that people want to slash these costs as far as possible and proper vehicle maintenance - especially lubrication and filtration can go a LONG way toward making that happen.
A Savings of $4,021 Per Year
MANY motorists (quite a few of them are my customers), are able to extend vehicle life to 300,000 miles and beyond, while actually REDUCING fuel and lube/filter expenses. Now, if a vehicle owner DOUBLED the useful life of his vehicle without increasing lube, filter and fuel costs, he would effectively spread that $48,000 expense over twice as many years - cutting his costs in HALF.For the 15,000 mile/year driver, that's a savings of over $2400 per year. For the 25,000 mile driver, that's a whopping $4,021 savings EVERY SINGLE YEAR!
What could you do with an extra $4,000 this year?
Now, I know this is going to be tough to understand, but, let's give it a shot. First, the fact that this test was conducted at all, suggests that there ARE various and wide ranging filtration efficiencies available on the market. Second, according to this study, moving from a 40 micron filter to a 15 micron filter reduced engine wear by 70%!
POP QUIZ: How much longer will your engine last if you can reduce engine WEAR by 70%? It's actually NOT what you probably think. It's not 70%. Consider this. If you cut engine wear in HALF (50%), it makes sense that engine life should be DOUBLED. Thus, cutting engine wear by 70% (considerably more than 50%) will actually FAR MORE THAN DOUBLE your engine's useful lifespan.
The added cost? Believe it or not, the difference in price between a standard 30 or 40 micron paper media oil filter and a premium synthetic media 15 micron filter is only about $10 per filter (maybe even less in many instances). Now, on the surface, if you didn't know how much engine wear you could save by upgrading your filter, that might seem like a HUGE increase.
But, consider this. First, some of these higher efficiency oil filters are actually designed for longer change intervals (as much as 4 or 5 times as long - easily making up for the additional filter cost). But, even if they weren't. Even if you changed them every 3,000 - 6,000 miles like a cheaper conventional filter, over the life of your vehicle, the additional filter cost would amount to (AT THE ABSOLUTE MOST) about $500 over 150,000 miles.
That's peanuts compared to the savings in engine wear and the increased engine longevity. We already said that you could easily save between $2,500 and $4,000 PER YEAR by doubling your vehicle's useful life. Over 10 years that's a savings of $25 - $40,000 for a simple $500 expenditure in filter upgrades.
That's a MINIMUM 5,000% return on your filter upgrade investment!
When was the last time you had an investment turn that kind of profit over that short of a period?
We Haven't Even Discussed Oil Yet
What about oil? If you can save that much with a simple filter change, what about a change in oil?Well, let's get right to it:
Oil is the life blood of your engine, so it pays to know what's the best. Depending on your situation and your goals, that MAY or MAY NOT be a synthetic oil of some type. Fortunately, "The Motor Oil Bible" isn't just a big sales pitch for synthetic oils - although it WILL make the case for their superiority in certain situations.
The purpose of "The Motor Oil Bible" is to make sure that you understand motor oils and synthetic oils SO WELL that you will have ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED to wisely choose the right oil for your application.
