Tips Make Your Car Engine Oil and its uses
The extent to which you are familiar with lubricant / oil that you frequently use to change the oil every 2-3 months or even every month on your vehicle?
Most of us choose SAE oil based only on parameters which are adjusted to the specifications of our vehicles are usually written 5W50, 15W50, 15W40, etc.. while there are other things that are not less important to know the QUALITY of the lubricant that we use is certified API (American Petroleum Institute), ACEA (Association December Constructeurs Europeens d 'Automobiles), ILSAC (Europe), JASO (Japan Automotive Standards Organization) and some Another special certification issued by manufacturers / producers to legitimize the use of lubricants or that means that the lubricant has been tested and found approved or approved by the manufacturer to be used in their production vehicles.
FUNCTION OF OIL
In general we assume that the main function is as a lubricant engine oil. Though oil has another function that is not less important, namely, among others, as cooler, Patron of Rust, cleaners and Closing Gaps in the wall machine.
All these functions are very closely related, as lubricants, oil will create friction between the components in the engine move more subtle, making it easier for machines to achieve an ideal working temperature.
Additionally Oil also acts as a heat transfer fluid reaches the combustion chamber of 1000-1600 degrees Celsius to other parts of the engine cooler.
With the level of consistency, adjusted for volume and capacity needs of the engine. The more viscous oil, the level of leakage will be smaller, but the other resulted in increased workloads for the oil pump.
In addition, the content of additives in the oil, will make a film on the cylinder wall in order to protect the engine at the start. At the same time prevent rust, even if the vehicle is not used for a long time. Beside that also contain detergent additives in lubricants to function as a solvent for impurities result of burning residual oil turnover time is wasted.
CHOOSING OIL
Increasing number of oil options at this time, will certainly make us a little confused, because all the oil producers would say they are the best oil. But there are some things that might be used as a reference, among others, recognize the character of your vehicle, engine specification and which the majority of your driving environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc..).
Appropriation WATCH AND QUALITY OF LUBRICATING
Note the designation lubricants, whether digunaan for gasoline engine oil, or diesel, 2 stroke or 4 stroke, industrial equipment, and so forth.
The quality of the oil itself is usually indicated by a code of API (American Petroleum Institute) with a letter followed by a stage behind him. Example API: SL, code S (Spark) is indicative of engine oil for gasoline. The second letter code indicates the value of oil quality, getting closer to the letter Z, the better quality oil in the coating component with a layer of film and more in accordance with the needs of modern engines.
There are two groups of API service categories are:
1. API Service Categories for gasoline-fueled vehicle lubricants
2. API Service Categories for diesel vehicle lubricants
API SERVICE CAR ENGINE LUBRICATING gasoline
- BC = can be used for all new tech car engine
and before (safe for all cars). Lubricants categorized SM is designed to provide sediment control better high temperature and is designed for more efficient use of lubricants. In some oil meets ILSAC certification or qualification as an energy saving
- SL = for vehicle engines in 2004 and earlier
- SJ = for vehicle engines 2001 and earlier
- SH = for vehicle engines 1996 and earlier
- SG = for vehicle engines 1993 and earlier
- SF = for vehicle engines 1988 and earlier
- SE = for vehicle engines 1979 and earlier
- SD = for vehicle engines 1971 and earlier
- SC = for vehicle engines 1967 and earlier
- SB and SA = is not recommended
API SERVICE AUTOMOBILE DIESEL ENGINE LUBRICATING
- CI-4 = Introduced on 5 September 2002, for
4T engine, high speed. Formulated to maintain engine durability. Can be used to replace the lubricant category CD, CE, CF-4, CG-4 and CH-4
- CH-4 = Introduced in 1998, to 4T engine,
high speed. Can be used to replace the lubricant category CD, CE, CF-4, and CG-4
- CG-4 = Introduced in 1995, to 4T engine, load
weight, high speed using fuel with sulfur content of 0.5%. Can be used to replace the lubricant category CD, CE, and CF-4
- CF-4 = Introduced in 1990, for engine speed 4T
high with a turbo charger or exhaust normal. Can be used to replace the lubricant category CD, and CE
- CF-2 = allowed for 1994, to heavy load engine 2T,
Can be used to replace the lubricant category CD-II
- CF = Introduced in 1994, for off-road vehicles,
indirect-injection diesel engines and other diesel engines that use fuel with sulfur content above 0.05%. Lubricants can be used to replace the CD category
- CE = Introduced in 1987, to 4T engine, speed
high with a turbo charger or exhaust normal. Can be used to replace the lubricant category CC, and CD
- CD-II = Introduced in 1987 for 2T engines
- CD Introduced in 1955. For turbocharged engines
as well as ordinary waste gas
- CC = to a machine that was introduced in 1961
- CB and CA = is not recommended
API SERVICE DOUBLE
In most of its service API oil in the car usually is twofold. As an example of API SL / CF. Meaning: The first API that shows the main use of oil, which are on the gasoline engine with qualifications SL but in an emergency oil can still be used in diesel engines with CF qualification. And vice versa.
SELECT THE RIGHT viscosity LUBRICATING
Lubricant viscosity level which is also called "Viscosity-Grade" is a measure of lubricant viscosity and the ability to flow at a given temperature
Oli identifier code is a letter SAE which stands for Society of Automotive Engineers. Furthermore, the number who follow behind, shows the level of the oil viscosity. SAE 40 or SAE 15W-50, the greater the numbers that follow Code indicating the thick oil is oil.
While the letter W located behind the initial figure, which stands for Winter. SAE 15W-50, meaning it has a high viscosity oil SAE 10 for the conditions of cold temperatures and SAE 50 in summer temperature conditions. With these conditions, oil will provide optimal protection during the engine start in extreme conditions though.
Meanwhile, in a normal summer conditions, oil will work ideally in the range of 40-50 viscosity number according to SAE standards.
See Manual Vehicle ...
SAE GRADE LUBRICATING GUIDE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE PASSENGER
Grade Lubricant consisting of singlegrade / monograde such as SAE 15 and SAE 50 (used at extreme temperatures) as well as Multigrade SAE 5W-50 and 15W-50 is widely used (unless the temperature is very hot or very cold) because it is quite watery lubricant to flow at low temperatures and thick enough to work satisfactorily at high temperatures.
More specifically we use the following illustration:
There are 3 Oil, 1 Multigrade, 2 monograde
Oli 1 SAE 15 (dilute)
Oli 2 SAE 50 (condensed)
3 Oil SAE 15W50 (Multigrade)
Oli was taken third place, the cold temperature:
Oli 1 (SAE 15) will be more viscous due to cooler
Oli 2 (SAE 50) to freeze because their home has been condensed
Oli 3 (SAE15W50) Oil viscosity will be equal to 1 (SAE15)
Now all three Oli was taken to place the hot temperature, then:
Oli 1 (SAE 15) becomes very watery even be yawning all
Oli 2 (SAE 50) becomes more dilute
Oli 3 (SAE 15W50) Oil viscosity equal to 2 (SAE 50)
while this knowledge I have ....
maybe someone can add ....
who want a discussion or tanya2 also please ....
SYNTHETIC VS MINERAL OIL OIL
All both mineral and synthetic oils are both a standard fire.
Advantages compared to mineral oil synthetic oil:
- More stable at high temperatures (less volatile)
so that low levels of evaporation
- Control / prevent the occurrence of carbon deposits on engine
- Circulation more smoothly in the morning starting time / cold weather
- Lubricate and coat the metal better and prevent it from occurring
friction between the metal resulting engine damage
- Resistant to change / oxidation and therefore more durable
so it is more economical and efficient
- Reduce the occurrence of friction, increase power and
cooler engine
- Contains a better detergent for cleaning
engine of the crust
Mineral oil is usually made from purified while the synthetic oil from the chemical mixture. Materials usually PAO synthetic oil (PolyAlphaOlefin).
Mineral oil API SL So the quality is not the same as API SL Synthetic oil.
Synthetic oil is usually recommended for the latest hi-tech machinery (turbo, supercharger, DOHC, etc.) are also in need of better lubrication (racing) where the gap between parts / metal smaller / narrower / precision where only synthetic oil that can coat and flowing perfect.
So for engines manufactured in 2001 or older are advised to use good synthetic oil-type semi-synthetic (mixed with mineral oil) or fully-synthetic.
Fully synthetic oil price could 2X - 4X more expensive than the semi-synthetic.
Semi-synthetic oil price can be 2x more expensive than mineral oil.
If it is for everyday use quite a semi-synthetic.
LUBRICATING AND PACKING PLEASE NOTE AVOID FALSE LUBRICATING
Buy a lubricant which is packed with good, still sealed with neat, there is a corporate identity and purpose of use. Avoid buying goods that are defective packaging. Buy a lubricant on the official agent or in places that can be trusted by you or the recommendation of your colleagues.
Now you are certainly more aware than ever about the quality of oil. So for now circulating in Indonesian oil for gasoline engines API service SL downwards, while for diesel engines API Service CH4 down. We recommend that you use oil that has the highest API certification because it will give better results for your vehicle better than the performance and maintenance of vehicles in the long term.
Synthetic oil is more expensive than mineral oil but we can choose a semi-synthetic is better than mineral oil and is more economical than synthetic oil.
extra that is not in the manual
age of oil was actually just wrote, kira2 10ribu or more on oli2 "super". but be it known that his driving in Jakarta, whose name is synonymous with jam. nah pas macet2an oil degradation that occurs after severe-severe!
poin2 cause oil degradation from the congestion are:
- Miles and miles are lost due to many stops. Your time macet2an odometer does not record the time spent living in the streets while flame machine and set the a / c. if every 10km btuh 1 hour travel time when traffic jams, while drivers in the city rata2 speed of 50 km / h, so you lose the + /-40km each time got jammed a jam/10km.
so if you get stuck 1 hour a day, there are no recorded odometer 40km, multiplied 90hari (5000km = 3bulan), you can bonus 3600km oil, so actually your machine has 8600km road, (imagine if instead of 10,000! same as 17,200! !)
think there is 1400km? wait a minute ..... do not forget there are other faktor2, namely;
Idle-round in extreme temperatures! yes, when your car macet2 ga dapet fresh air supply, oil will be used habis2an performance. although the engine at low rpm but the constant path at the maximum temperature is limited and the turnover (pressure) of crude oil. do not forget our tropical climate, aka hot!
-Plus gas pollution than other vehicles which are sucked through a filter, into the combustion is not perfect, little by little absorbed by the oil (which makes oil an item) you and stuck in the piston and cylinder head (AKA black crust !!!!)
so if you love your car, here is some advice:
- Whenever possible select a route that breakdown of the most minimal, but muter2 same travel time, better than jam. abis mirip2 gasoline, engine durability and clarity get odometer, do not forget more "enjoy" driving course (ngeeng!! ngeeeeng !!!!)
Stay on schedule-change oil and filter! oil at 5000-7000km, 2X filter every oil change ....
-If emang must macet2an although se en minim2nya want to get a more accurate schedule, is expected to use this formula nihi;
(Amount of time jammed / day X rata2 speed you if ga jammed X 90hari) +5000 km = estimated actual mileage your engine! so you can know the actual oil change interval, although there rata2 at 5000-7000km, is more efficient if you can fit the actual conditions you know .... there are examples of the above!
Wear oil-quality, good oli2 tend to be more durable than conventional oil, extra security is handy kalau2 you emang "destitute should jam" or ga so can nepatin schedule an oil change after all the power and the use of gasoline more efficient.
-Remember, oil is like blood that make human, dirty blood, bad blood = a disease, the disease is fixed but it could have been ga tiba2 sudden attack and bang! as well as car engines, the effect may slowly but tiba2 is fixed and does not bang! do not let happen! !!!!!! amit amit
Additional:
want healthy = need a bit of cost, kalo udah ga healthier = more need cost! lot!
the original formulation of "prevention is better than cure"
Length Replace Oil
A question always comes up how long the duration of oil change? Some car owners are always still have doubts with the recommendation BPKB (Motor Vehicle User's Guide.) Owners of vehicles with its own assumptions and suggestions that some technicians do not follow the development of oil technology, the duration of oil consumption is only 50% even 25% of the recommendations BPKB. Concerns that excessive if follow BPKB will shorten engine life.
Some concept of the duration of engine oil replacement.
Every 5000 km or 6 months
This concept is most widely used by the majority owner of the vehicle and several technicians workshop also often recommend the concept. With rising oil manufacturing process technology, if this concept is followed only useless waste of money.
Based on the oil indicator light
Some vehicles equipped with the latest oil change indicator. At the time of oil change, the module will be reset by the garage. As far as I know, the concept of this indicator is based on vehicle mileage that counts down in accordance with factory settings, which lights up when the calculation reaches 0 km.
Indicators will be appropriate if the vehicle operates in normal conditions and dioperasian regularly. In the vehicle is operated in extreme conditions, the guidelines do not apply under these lights.
Ideally the indicator lights up when oil passed critical parameter limits. When the concept of parameter restrictions can be applied to vehicle oil, oil obtained benefits and maintenance cost savings.
Based on the analysis of Used Oil
Periodically every certain distance, the oil is analyzed laboratory to test the critical parameters. If the parameters passed, the oil is replaced. This concept is difficult to apply in a private vehicle, costs incurred almost the same analysis with new oil change. More appropriate concept was applied to the fleet of vehicles much like taxis and rental vehicles with the brand, type and year of manufacture the same machine. At certain intervals samples were taken randomly oil, oil analysis results can be used to determine oil change.
The advantage of laboratory analysis, can identify mechanical problems, which can prevent more severe damage to the engine.
This equation accommodates several aspects:
• TBN (Total Base Number) of high oil reflects the ability to work longer.
• Power in units of Net HP, engine powered heavier work.
• Fill the cylinder in units of cubic inches.
• Fuel consumption in units pergallon mile (mpg), more efficient vehicles that reflect a lighter load.
• Capacity of oil, a larger oil capacity will distribute the load more evenly.
The equation to predict how many miles is replaced, assuming the vehicle is used in stable condition, and the rate of decline in TBN angkan considered linear. This concept does not apply to vehicles that use irregular and seldom used.
This equation accommodates the following aspects:
• Total consumption of oil, including the topping-up because less oil during the duration of usage.
• TBN target recommendations Blackstone Labs = 2 mg KOH / gr.
• The diameter of the cylinder that reflects the volume of the machine.
• The rate of decline in TBN
Authentication Method Concept Kublin, Paradise Garage Method, and Heidebrecht Method
To prove whether the above concepts can be applied to actual conditions, the U.S. has conducted trials with 3 target distance of 9660 km, 19,320 km, 28,980 km. Each target is reached, oil is analyzed and made a theoretical calculation of mileage.
1. New Oil:
• Laboratory analysis of new oil in the test has TBN = 8.0 mgKOH / gr.
• Warranty oil maker, have traveled as far as 28,980 km.
• Mileage Kublin theoretical formula as far as 26,680 km.
2. After memempuh distance 9660 km.
• The distance is the theoretical formulation of Paradise Garage as far as 13,710 km.
• Mileage Heidebrecht theoretical formulation as far as 16,704 km.
3. After a distance of 19,320 km.
• The distance is the theoretical formulation of Paradise Garage as far as 24,559 km.
• Mileage Heidebrecht theoretical formulation as far as 16,704 km.
4. After a distance of 28,980 km.
• The distance is the theoretical formulation of Paradise Garage as far as 37,085 km.
• Mileage Heidebrecht theoretical formulation as far as 27,839 km.
From these trials, the accuracy approached concept Kublin and Heidebrecht km actual realization.
Conclusion:
1. The accuracy of the concept of approaching realization Kublin and Heidebrecht actual miles.
2. Modern oil (synthetic and semi-synthetic oil) generally have a TBN> 8.0 mgKOH / g, theoretically capable of serving up to 28,000 km of vehicle.
3. Extending the duration of a minimum 10,000 km oil change according BPKB, just use 30% of the total oil potential.
4. The concept of oil change every 5000 km is not realistic, other than wasting money in vain, we must care about the environment, waste oil is B3.
