We believe every driver should understand how their engine works and what truly makes a difference in performance and longevity.

How We Test & Review

Our review process combines technical knowledge, practical experience, and verified performance data. Every product we evaluate is compared using a consistent methodology to ensure fairness and transparency.

  • Technical Research: Certifications, viscosity standards, material specs, wear patterns, and OEM requirements.
  • Hands-On Evaluation: Real-world performance, installation experience, build quality, and durability.
  • Comparison Metrics: Cost efficiency, long-term reliability, compatibility, and proven results.
  • Editorial Integrity: Zero paid reviews, zero sponsored ratings, and transparent disclosure.

Our promise: Every recommendation must be backed by data, testing, or proven engineering logic.

About the Author — Robert Lozano

I'm Robert Lozano, an engineer with a deep passion for engines, mechanical systems, and automotive innovation. For over a decade, I’ve studied lubrication science, cooling systems, combustion efficiency, and real-world maintenance challenges across both modern and older engines.

I created Engine Needs to share my knowledge in a simpler, more helpful way—so anyone can understand the components that keep their vehicle healthy. My goal is to translate complex engineering into practical advice that genuinely saves you money, improves performance, and extends engine life.

Every article is carefully written, fact-checked, and updated regularly to ensure accuracy. Your trust matters—and I work continuously to earn it.
