How to purchase ENTECH OILS:
Through the ENTECH OIL website.

Oil changes:
It depends on how you drive. If you do a lot of city driving or low speed/low frequency driving, we recommend oil changes at 7500 miles. Vehicles that see more highway driving can go a maximum of 15,000 to 18,000 miles with an oil filter change in between. Modern filter technology and the latest, clean-burning
fuels have reduced the solids that contaminate oil, so frequent filter changes are not usually necessary. For new road cars, always follow the manufacturer recommendations.

Oil filters:
No, we simply recommend using a quality filter, whether it's for your engine or transmission.

Engine break-in:
For performance engines, we recommend using ENTECH Break-in OIL to ensure proper piston ring seating and to protect valvetrain components like camshafts, rollers and tappets. ENTECH Break-in Oil will allow the piston rings to seat quickly and efficiently. If you allow 1500 to 2000 miles in a street engine or 20 to 30 minutes on the dyno at low rpm, the rings will have had sufficient time to seat and the high initial break-in  wear will have occurred. For new road cars, always follow the manufacturer recommendations and initial oil
change recommendations for break-in.

Driveline break-in:
A differential or transaxle will break-in with a synthetic product without issue. Some aftermarket ring and pinion suppliers recommend adding additional friction modifier to reduce temperatures and friction during
the critical break-in period. For this, you can use ENTECH OIL Limited Slip Friction Modifier. Drain this mix after break-in and re-fill.

Which product to use:
Reference your owner's manual and make a direct cross-reference from there. Most engines a use 5W30 motor oil for general use. Our most popular automatic transmission fluid is D4 ATF where a Dexron III, Mercon, or Mercon V is called for, as well. Referring to gear oils, your manual transmission will likely call for an ATF, GL-4 type or GL-5 type products.

Rotary engine applications:
Our High-Performance Motor and Racing Oils have been used successfully in rotary engines in both racing and street applications from the beginning. Our oils don’t cause deposits in the engine which can cause poor performance, carbon locking of rotors or sticking apex seals.   

Engine and Driveline flushes:
A flush isn't necessary or advised, as ENTECH OIL products are compatible and will mix with other synthetics and petroleum products.

Vehicle factory warranty:
Using the appropriate ENTECH OIL product shouldn't invalidate your vehicles warranty and question the mechanic or service manager that says so.
