motor oil
Crankcase liquid gold
Motor oil is a lubricant used in internal combustion engines to reduce friction between moving parts, dissipate heat, and prevent corrosion.
It comes in various weights and formulations: synthetic motor oil, 10W-30 motor oil.
Regular oil changes are basic vehicle maintenance: I need to check my motor oil.
