Motor oil is used by all internal combustion engines. This includes cars, buses, trucks, go karts, motorcycle, tractors, snow mobile, aircraft, construction equipment, boats and even generators. In measuring motor oil in your car, a dipstick is used. A dipstick is a measuring stick used in determining the quantity of liquid in a container.

Motor oil first came in glass bottles, cans and cardboard. This was until the 1980 when modern plastic bottles came into use. In order to produce 2.5 quarts of new high quality lubricating oil you need 24 gallons of crude oil. However recycling it produces the same amount. In 2009, vehicles across the globe produced 3.7 billion gallons of used motor oil. Now what you may not know is that not all motor oil wholesale is the same when it comes to the quality.

I have read somewhere that all fuel are the same. You pay for branded oil because of the name of the company not because it is better. Is this the same for motor oil or is there really a big difference?
