Any fuel and lubricant product contains an oily fraction obtained by refining oil, organically synthesized compounds and their mixtures. Motor oil can be divided by origin into the following categories:
– mineral;
– semi-synthetic;
– synthetic.
One of the main properties of oil is its viscosity, which can decrease with increasing temperature or vice versa. Low viscosity gives insufficient pressure in engine operation, leading to rapid wear of rubbing parts. Oil that is too viscous at negative temperatures leads to starter failure, and also reaches parts operating in friction mode with a delay, causing undesirable 'oil starvation'.
Motor oil has operational properties that determine its possible field of application in various engines, in particular, these are:
– ability to prevent wear;
– tendency to accumulate various deposits;
– antioxidant properties;
– corrosive activity;
– detergent properties.
The viscosity value of oils, as well as its changes depending on temperature indicators, divide oils into:
* Winter – have relatively low viscosity, ensuring start of an unheated engine at temperatures below zero, but in summer operation they cannot provide reliable lubrication of parts;
* Summer – perfectly lubricate the engine at high temperature due to their high viscosity, but at sub-zero temperatures they cannot provide cold start;
* All-season – have universal properties
Note that you can buy high-quality motor oil without problems, knowing all its features and characteristics. In this case, your vehicle will delight you with flawless operation both in winter and summer.
Motor oil must be changed every 10 thousand kilometers you drive, which is necessary to extend the 'life' of the car engine. You should use only high-quality oils from well-known brands, because only they can guarantee a long service life for your beloved car. One such brand is the German company Meguin, producing petrochemicals and lubricants for 160 years. It is known as one of the leading suppliers, and demand for its products is huge.
The French manufacturer of high-quality oils 'Durand Production' produces goods under its own trademark Areca and is also one of the world leaders in the market of automotive lubricants. The same can be said for such reliable German brands as 'Kraft' and 'Fuchs Titan'. They are distinguished by the highest quality of their petrochemical products, which number more than three thousand items. Many popular car brands around the world work closely with these two brands, which have appeared on the Ukrainian market since 2011.
