class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p>The motor oil is one of the most important fluids in the car\u2019s engine. A good quality motor-oil must do the following:- LUBRICATE: this is the main task of a motor oil to reduce wear, corrosion, to cover each moving part of the engine with a protector film that reduces friction.<br \/>\n\u2013 CLEAN: it is essential that the oil keep surfaces free of deposits. Scrapings, tars, deposits, condense, etc. can get in the engine decreasing its performances.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 SEAL: the motor oil covers the uneven surfaces with 2-3 microns of oil film. It is thin but enough to seal the engine and to prevent power loss.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 COOL: coolant or air are doing about 60% of the engine cooling. The motor oil assures the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the technology progress, the lubricants life is limited. Motor oil is contaminated with fuel, dirt, deposits and vapors. This causes the expiration of the additives, damaging the initial qualities of the motor oil. Traffic conditions and driving manners sways a lot the contamination level of the oil.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_\"><div class=\"vc_toggle_title\"><h4>How often do I have to change the oil?<\/h4><i class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p>Generally all the mechanics recommend that the motor oil should be changed every 5 000 km. The automotive manufacturers recommend that the motor oil should be changed starting with 10 000 km mentioning \u201cnormal service\u201d. For \u201csevere service\u201d they recommend 5 000 km. What means \u201csevere service\u201d?<br \/>\n\u2013 frequently short distance trips (under 7-8 km);<br \/>\n\u2013 heavy traffic trips (stop and go city traffic);<br \/>\n\u2013 trailer towing;<br \/>\n\u2013 driving in dusty conditions;<br \/>\n\u2013 driving in cold weather;<\/p>\n<p>If you read the vehicle\u2019s users guide you can find two types of driving conditions: normal service and severe service. Normal service means that the vehicles are driven under ideal circumstances. Unfortunately most of the cases are severe service driving and here are some examples:<\/p>\n<p>Engine cold start\u2013 After ignition the engine needs a certain amount of time to reach optimum functioning parameters. During this time, the fuel is not burning entirely causing appearance of fuel residues. Dilution with unburned fuel residues is the most important oil contamination source.<\/p>\n<p>Short distance trips\u2013 Your car\u2019s engine works best on long trips made at a constant speed. Unfortunately, most of us perform short trips and quick. The city or repeated cycles of start-stops are extremely harmful for the engine and oil.<\/p>\n<p>A loaded car\u2013 It is good to know that additional options installed on each vehicle comes with an additional surcharge for the engine, resulting in higher operating temperatures. Automatic gearbox, climate and air conditioning, each comes with an additional 10 to 15\u00ba C to the engine temperature, thereby subjecting it to further efforts to cool down.<\/p>\n<p>Car driven occasionally\u2013 Cars left unused for longer periods are at risk of engine corrosion and rust, caused by the condensation developed inside the engine.<\/p>\n<p>Towing\u2013 Towing a boat, campers, trailers, etc. requires extra work raising engine\u2019s operation temperature. Engine\u2019s operating high temperatures requires more oil to cool the engine.<\/p>\n<p>Dusty conditions \/ bad roads (dirt)\u2013 In terms of dusty conditions, tiny particles of dust and dirt get into the engine. The air filters are not capable of producing perfect filtration; there will always be fine particles that will escape through the filter, developing a suspension in the oil, which will lead to premature engine wear. Each one of us are meeting these conditions every summer, on dirt roads or on roads that are under repair \/ maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>The conditions listed above define the so-called \u201charsh environment\u201d. A recent American study revealed that more than 90% of trips are taking place insevere conditions<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_\"><div class=\"vc_toggle_title\"><h4>What is the right oil for my car?<\/h4><i class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p>Here is a very common concept:<br \/>\n\u201cI used to use SAE15W-40, but dropped it in favor SAE 20W-50 for a better protection of my engine.\u201d<br \/>\nBut, is this really true?<br \/>\nThe idea of using a more viscous oil (thicker) seems to have quickly emerged following the quick remedy offered to older engines, with a high rate of wear, which normally have a high consumption of engine oil. Switching from a more fluid oil (SAE15W-40 or SAE10W-30) to a thicker oil (SAE20W-50) may be a remedy that can save us an expansive repair. This is actually a delay. A SAE 20W-50 oil type has a thicker lubricating film that helps to separate metal parts, thus reducing wear.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds good and is perfectly true. So oil should be as viscous (thick) as possible, isn\u2019t it? Well not exactly so.<br \/>\nIf oil is too viscous at ambient temperature it is very possible that it will not reach fast enough all engine\u2019s surfaces, leading to faster and premature wear of the engine. Using high viscosity oil produces additional stress to the engine (the motion of the moving parts is more difficult in a more viscous ambient) and hence other shortcomings, such as: increased fuel consumption, and the additional engine stress, loss engine performance and in extreme cases even engine failures.<br \/>\nSome car manufacturers warned that the use of a very viscous oil could lead to engine damage. For example a SAE 20W-50 type oil used for General Motors LB4, L05 and L19 truck engines causes the so called \u201ccold beat\u201d phenomenon that seems to be a problem related to oil viscosity. Why? Because a SAE 5W-30 type removes this phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cviscosity\u201d we have talked about before is actually a measure that tells us how \u201cthin\u201d or \u201cthick\u201d is a type of oil.<\/p>\n<p>Bee honey, at low temperatures in January has a high viscosity and high resistance to flow (flows very slow). Water, on the other hand, at room temperature, has a low viscosity and low resistance to flow (flows easily).<br \/>\nTherefore, a low viscosity oil allows an easier start in cold weather. In addition, the more fluid oil (lower viscosity) will flow easier towards, and on engine\u2019s components, and if well formulated, it will keep the viscosity even at high temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, what would be the answer to the question \u201cWhat kind of oil should I use for my car?\u201d The simplest method to select the right oil for your engine is to comply with instructions given by the manufacturer in the user manual. There are loads of points of view regarding the right oil, of which, at least some of them, are acceptable, but always, it is wisest to choose the motor oil that meets manufacturer\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_\"><div class=\"vc_toggle_title\"><h4>What is the right grease for my machinery?<\/h4><i class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p>The choice of the right grease depends on the operating conditions: load, temperature, humidity and type of application.

Regardless of the type of transmission, it is essential to consult the vehicle manual and use a lubricant that meets OEM specifications to ensure optimal performance and prevent premature wear of components.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_\"><div class=\"vc_toggle_title\"><h4>What does API mean?<\/h4><i class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p>American Petroleum Institute (API) is the national trade association that represents all aspects of America\u2019s oil and natural gas industry.

According to their statement, ACEA is an advocate for the automobile industry in Europe, representing manufacturers of passenger cars, vans, trucks and buses with production sites in the EU.<\/p>\n<p>Among many other activities ACEA defines specifications for engine oils so called ACEA Oil Sequences. The sequences are usually updated every few years to include the latest developments in engine and lubricant technology. ACEA itself does not approve the oils, they set the standards and oil manufacturer\u2019s may make performance claims for their products if those satisfy the relevant requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The first ACEA oil sequences were introduced in 1996 when they replaced the former CCMC specifications. New ACEA oil specifications were issued in 1998, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012. The 2014 sequences have not yet been introduced.

If the ACEA sequence\u2019s implementation year is specified then it follows the spec\u2019s name after a dash (like ACEA E9-12).<\/p>\n<p>There are ACEA specifications for passenges car motor oils (the A\/B class) for catalyst compatible motor oils (the C class) and for heavy duty diesel engine oils (the E class). The classes are further devided into categories to meet the requirements of different engines. The A\/B class\u2019s A1\/B1 and A5\/B5 oils have lower HTHS viscosities, which means that they provide better fuel economy but they may not provide adequate protection in engines that are not designed for them. ACEA A3\/B3 and A3\/B4 on the other hand require oils with higher HTHS viscosities that may not provide as good fuel economy as an A1\/B1 or A5\/B5 oil but may offer better engine protection in certain engine designs. The categories within the C class are devided along SAPS limits and along HTHS viscosities. C1 and C4 are low-SAPS oils, while C2 and C3 are mid-SAPS oils. On the other hand C1 and C2 oils have lower HTHS viscosities, while C3 and C4 oils have higher HTHS viscosities. In case of the E class the SAPS content and the drain interval make the difference. E4 and E6 oils offer longer drain intervals where the engine manufacturer allows it while E7 and E9 are designed for medium drain applications.

The standard also requires improved cold flow properties to reduce hydrodynamic friction of the oil, in order to obtain fuel economy benefits especially when the oil is cold. This extra requirement for cold flow properties allows excellent oil flow at start up, faster oil pressure build up, faster revs raisings and faster operating temperature reach. This type of low viscosity lubricant allows fuel consumption reduction and therefore reduces greenhouse gases (CO2) emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Trasmission Oil specifications<\/p>\n<p>PSA B71 2330<br \/>\nAPI GL-4 level gear oils with SAE 75W80 viscosity.
