What type of oil is recommended for use in a gasoline engine?

  1. Vegetable oil

  2. Kerosene

  3. Motor oil

  4. Mineral oil

The correct answer is: Motor oil

To properly lubricate and protect a gasoline engine, it is recommended to use motor oil, not vegetable oil or kerosene. Vegetable oil is not designed for engine use and may lead to engine damage. Kerosene is also not suitable for engine use as it is too thin and not able to provide sufficient protection. Mineral oil, while similar to motor oil, is not specifically formulated for use in gasoline engines and may not provide adequate performance. Motor oil is specifically designed and tested for use in gasoline engines, making it the recommended type of oil.
