What happens if I make a mistake in the car's oil?

Using the wrong oil can damage the engine, for example, wearing down the engine components, contributing to the formation of sludge in the sump, varnish on the piston, or clogging the particle filter. If you put in the wrong oil, we recommend that you change it for the correct oil as soon as possible.

See your vehicle's manual or our search engine to know which is the most suitable oil for your engine.
