GENERAL INFORMATION

Oil viscosity

The viscosity characterizes the fluidity of oil. Depending on the temperature oil it tends to the reduction of the fluidity. In the process of the increase in the temperature oil it becomes more fluid. The viscosity and stability makes the capacity of oil worse to maintain high pressures of contact. When will it cool oil it becomes more dense, reductions of fluidity and internal increases of friction. Because of this property it is necessary to apply the oil of motor with such viscosity that is modified in the modification of the temperature in possibly less limits.

The oil fluidity is equivalent to his internal friction and it is indicated by unities SAE (The society of Engineers Automóveis – the Association of Motor Engineers), for example SAE 30, SAE 10. The high tariff of SAE means that the dense, low oil – characterizes the liquid oil. However, the oil viscosity completely does not characterize lubricating properties of oil.

OILS FOR ANY TIME

In cars motors it is preferable to use oils for any time. They do on basis of the oil a seasonal liquid (the type 10W). In a heated state this oil is stabilized for one so by called condenser that supplies the corresponding lubricating qualities of oil in all the temperatures. Using the oil for any time, it is necessary to apply degrees with a wide grub of temperature of the viscosity, for example 10W-40, 15W-50.

The letter W (winter – winter) in the designation SAE characterizes the convenience of the use of oil during the winter period.

OIL WITH THE INCREASED LUBRICATING PROPERTIES

The oils with the increased lubricating properties represent oils for any time in which, besides additive others, there are substances that reduce coefficient of friction that supplies the reduction of the consumption of fuel in 2 %. For his production the component special initials (synthetic oils) are in use. After the purchase of such oil it is necessary to pay attention to that East oil was allowed for the use by Ford.

OILS OF MOTOR

Prevention

Additive you add to the oil independent of his look and nomination, they must not be added to the oil.

For modern motors it is necessary only to use oils of HD. The oils of HD are oils with the increased lubricating properties improved at the expense of additive many people. Additive these supply the best anticorrosive protection, the most favorable conditions against the phenomenon of oxidation, the least tendency to the scums formation, the best modification of the viscosity properties is compensated by them and they are dissolved. The clearing and the debauchery of additive ones not only reduce the formation of remaining in the motor, but also at the same time these remain and any other pollution in the motor oil they have the capacity to dissolve and guarding in the interruption so that substituting the oil this the pollution is withdrawn together with the fused oil.

The quality of oils HD is determined by the system API (Institut of American Oil). The European producers also join to this system.

The designation of a quality of oil is done by two letters. The first letter characterizes a reach: S-Servise, they are destined for carburator motors; With – Commercial, they are destined for diesel engines. The second letter defines a degree of oil in alphabetical order.

The prize oils in the classification of API are a SG of motors of carburator and CD of diesel engines.
