Reading effectiveness engine oil

OWNER cars in big cities do not nan busy have time to open the engine room to check the presence of car engine oil, both from the aspect of volume and thickness (viscosity). The presence of engine oil, which allows the replacement of more than 10,000 km mileage, making the vehicle owners do not care about the existence and function of engine oil for vehicles. In fact, oil is no longer effectively perform its functions as an engine lubricant can be identified from behind the wheel of the vehicle cabin or where the owner resides. READING effectiveness of engine oil is an important vehicle-related funds. Oil that has been "lackluster" would obviously shorten engine life. This is clearly related to the greater investment to repair or replace the engines of new cars. In fact, there is a car that is no small price. And in turn make the hurt if credit has not been completed as well.

Actually not too difficult in reading performance engine oil that pelumasannya power was no longer effective. Everything can be felt, heard, or viewed directly, especially if you're behind the wheel of a car that is being used. The cars did provide cutting-edge oil pressure indicator inside the cab, but it is not absolutely demonstrate the effectiveness of lubricants.

Crake

Engine oil is known to have a function to reduce friction or wear and tear of a number of components in the machine that works and move when the engine life. Antarkomponen metal friction in machinery such as valves / valve engine, gear in the machine, will be louder if the lubricant is no longer effective in its function in reducing friction or wear and tear.

"If it sounds louder engine components or crisp compared to the previous, lubricants may no longer function effectively. Moreover, if the sound had come from the car with the engine still uses multikatup system," said Mico F Kaliki, Marketing Manager of PT Bahana Nusa Lubrindo Italian Agip oil peddling.

Surely, said Mico, crisp or loud noise is not due to oil or grease does not get to the valve / valve engines due to a malfunctioning oil pump well. Lubricants fixed to the valve chamber, but the level is already low viscosity causes the scraping sound of metal components in the machine becomes clearer, louder.

One thing that also must be certain and true that the volume of lubricant in the engine is in compliance. Also lubricant that is inserted into the engine cavity is in conformity with the type of machine such as gasoline or diesel engines, and engine life. Lubricating characteristics, namely the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) which determines the level of viscosity (viscosity) lubricants and API (American Petroleum Institute) is an indication of quality lubricants, also is right.

Lubricants for diesel engines in terms of quality instruction (API) always preceded the letter C (commercial) such as CD or CF. Petrol engines starting with the letters S (service station) such as SG or SJ. In terms of viscosity, old machines clearly need to require a lubricant with high viscosity as SAE 20 W-50, whereas the new machine with thin viscosity such as SAE 5W-50 or 10W-40. W stands for winter (winter) in which the viscosity reaches 20 (20 W) and when the heat reached 50.

If all of the technical provisions are violated, it could be a car engine sounds more nets. For example, the new engine lubricant for use on old machines, obviously not a lot of work in reducing the level of friction or collision of metal components in the machine. This mistake can be detected in the morning when the engine is turned on, you hear a loud engine valves due to a lack of fully functional lubricant in reducing friction.

If the function of reducing friction is reduced, the car owner or driver can see it from the engine temperature is higher than usual. Surely this is only accurate if the engine cooling system (water-filled radiator, cooling fan smoothly, and pump water okay) was normal. If so, most likely in a vehicle engine lubricants are not effective.

Antarkomponen-friction engine components which will obviously make a bigger and bigger engine temperature rises quickly. In fact, a lubricant to minimize friction was tasked with infiltrating the gaps between the moving engine components. The presence of lubricant in there also cools the components earlier.

"So, if the engine temperature indicator panel is higher than normal, while the cooling water okay, okay radiator cooling fans and other cooling system is okay, then it could be that the performance of lubricants in the engine cavity is no longer effective," said Mico. If you have this, you should grease be replaced even if the number of mileage yet half of the next request to replace the lubricant.

Acceleration is reduced

Ineffectiveness of lubricants can also be felt the pull of the machine that feels diminished. Acceleration of the car when the green light, or when driving on the freeway, feels less solid. "Pengemudilah most feel the performance is declining due to engine lubricating function that has been greatly reduced," said Mico.

Antarkomponen metal friction in the engine obviously getting choked up when the lubricant is not enough to infiltrate among the components that rub against each other. In accumulation, the friction that stuttering is impacting on the power or acceleration produced automobile engines. Car porch when driven hard. Furthermore, not only short-lived engine, but fuel consumption is also wasteful.

In this case, no wonder that there is a kind of unwritten agreement that the new car should not be driven fast. Also that engine is not being forced to pull a heavy payload. All this because the machine on new cars tend to have high levels of metal antarkomponen very high friction.

This agreement can later be erased or fading due to start popping up various brands of lubricants with a watery viscosity level specifically created for a new car engine.

Dilute lubricants (rank / grade SL or SJ for gasoline engines and CJ-4, CH-4, CG-4, or CF-4 for diesel engines) are able to infiltrate freely into the crevices of the new machines are practically still very narrow .

Given the importance of lubrication in the engine, while the level of activity that does not allow time and space for open space car engine, actually detect the effectiveness of the lubricant with the feeling, listening, and saw from behind the steering was accurate enough to get to the garage to replace existing lubricants.

Car engines fall clearly requires a much larger fund than buying 5 quarts or 4 liters of engine lubricating.
