How do you choose the right engine oil?
- See if the oil is approved by the manufacturer that produced the vehicle. Information about this is indicated in the technical documents.
- Determine to which type of composition the product belongs: mineral, synthetic or semi-synthetic.
- Determine the viscosity according to SAE, and select summer, winter or all-season categories of lubricants.
- Set the quality class according to API, ACEA and ILSAC classification. On the label of the canister, the manufacturer indicates the class in the form of an alphanumeric designation.
Properties of motor oils
The composition of all modern means includes a base-base oil, to which additives are added to improve its qualities. The base contains hydrocarbon components of different viscosity and synthetic components. The higher the quality of the composition, the more pronounced are the useful properties of the product.
Motor oils perform an important function of protection, lubricating the operating parts of the engine. Lubricants provide the manufacturer's specified motor life, but only with sufficient ability to resist mechanical, thermal and chemical influences. Lubricant properties must be appropriate for the operating conditions and engine design.
For the engine to work properly throughout the entire service life specified by the manufacturer, lubricants must have the following properties:
- detergent - the ability to wash away insoluble contaminants, ensure the cleanliness of parts, and prevent the deposition of contaminants on the surface of working parts;
- thermal - to cool pistons to allow the engine to operate at maximum heat;
- to provide resistance of parts to wear - achieved by the strength of the oil film, the degree of viscosity when heated, the ability to neutralize acids that are formed during oxidation and products obtained during combustion of fuel;
- resistance to aging - as a result of external factors;
- ability to provide cold starting, lubrication at elevated temperatures and high loads;
- compatibility with catalysts of the gas neutralization system, materials of seals;
- low degree of foaming at low and elevated temperatures;
- low carbon monoxide consumption.
Lubricants intended for automobile engines should not have corrosive effects on parts during its action and breaks.
