Regular oil changes prolong your car engine lifetime.
The main purposes of engine oil are:
to lubricate moving parts
to clean the engine and prevent corrosion
to cool the engine by carrying heat away from moving parts
Did you know that the car manufacturer oil change interval is in many cases too long for Finnish conditions – regardless of what the service indicator in the menu shows!
Car manufacturers specify the oil change interval for either normal or severe operating conditions, commonly 30,000 or 15,000 km. As a rule we all drive in severe conditions – short distances (up to 20 km) and city driving (start-stop), during which the engine does not warm up properly. As a result the engine wears more and combustion residues build up, drastically shortening the oil life. We recommend changing the oil after 10,000 km.
Engine oil must be changed at least once a year regardless of annual mileage. Oil becomes contaminated with fuel and condensation water, which reduces its lubricating properties and can cause engine failure.
Modern combustion engines are equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems and require low-ash engine oil. Using the wrong oil is often the cause of expensive failures, e.g. of the catalytic converter or particulate filter.
Since 2019, Rengas24 has selected Shell as our strategic oil supplier!
Previously we offered oils from Castrol, Mobil, Total and Liqui Moly; these are available to order, but we assure you there is no need. We chose to partner with Shell because their products have superb quality and Shell is the leader in investing in R&D and testing their products, which is why they exceed their competition.

New Landsail winter tyres for Finnish conditions24-08-2026 17:02Three new Landsail winter tyres for Nordic driving A Finnish winter can bring wet asphalt, slush, packed snow and ice during a single journey. To meet these changing conditions, Landsail is expanding its winter tyre range with three new models developed for Nordic driving. The new range includes the Polar Dragon Soft, a Nordic studless winter tyre; the IceDragon, a studded tyre for passenger cars; and the IceDragon Van, developed for vans and light commercial vehicles. Together, the three models cover different winter driving needs: a studless option for passenger cars, a passenger-car tyre with 24 stud contact rows and a reinforced studded tyre for commercial vans. -
Landsail IceDragon Van – a new studded winter tyre for Nordic...24-08-2026 14:03Landsail IceDragon Van – a new studded tyre built for working vans A van’s working day does not depend on whether the roads are dry, snowy or covered with ice. Its tyres must cope with the weight of the vehicle and its cargo, withstand frequent stops and pull-aways, and maintain grip across a wide range of winter surfaces. To meet these demands, Landsail has developed the IceDragon Van, a new studded tyre for vans and light commercial vehicles. The model will soon be joining the Rehvid Pluss winter tyre range. Although its name connects it with the passenger-car IceDragon, the Van is not simply a larger version of the same tyre. It has its own tread design and a reinforced construction developed around the greater weight and load requirements of commercial vehicles. -
Coming Soon: Landsail IceDragon a 24-Row Studded Tyre for Nor...24-08-2026 09:44Landsail IceDragon – 24-Row Studded Winter Tyre A new passenger-car studded tyre is joining the Landsail winter tyre range. The IceDragon has been developed for demanding Nordic winter conditions, with a strong focus on dependable ice grip. Its key feature is a stud layout that creates 24 separate contact rows across the tread. Combined with dense wave-shaped siping and a directional V-shaped pattern, this gives the tyre the tools needed for ice, packed snow, loose snow and slush.
