How to choose a good and correct Oil

To date there are three kinds of lubricating oil produced and circulated in the market among other mineral oil, synthetic oil, and the oil made from herbs or animals (castor oil), and the factories of the average vehicle advocate to wear mineral oil that has been standardized by SAE and API.

The oil made from herbs widely used on motor-motor racing a few years ago because the quality is better than mineral oil. While synthetic oil is widely used in aircraft and there are rarely available, besides the price relatively still expensive type of oil is also not yet popular.

Oil has a viscosity that is different and each is numbered by SAE standards, such as for example SAE 20,30,40 and 50.Ini means that the oil has a viscosity which limits the power will be broken (missing its lubricity) at a temperature of 99 degrees Celsius.

Whereas oil with SAE standard number 5 .10 W, and W 20 W means that the thickness of the oil will break at a temperature of 18 degrees centigrade. The smaller the number, the more liquid the oil standard.


Multigrade lubricant oil has a high viscosity index, for example, SAE 20 W/50 or SAE 10 W/30 multigrade oil is Excellence. Engines can easily to be switched on the weather and temperature a cold winter in Europe for example. The Oil will become liquid when the engine is cold but still has the quality of a good lubrication at high temperatures.


The type of oil can also be grouped in accordance with the vehicle's engine to use it so that getting good results include:

1. type of Oil ML, this oil does not contain additional ingredients (additives) and usually used on gasoline engines with light work
2. MLM type of Oil, this oil contains additive that can prevent rust on the machine normally used in gasoline engines with the work that is being
3. MS type Oil used in gasoline engines work pretty heavy
4. Oil type DG, this oil contains anti rust and also contain detergents in order to prevent the formation of carbon/charcoal on the combustion chamber or other machine parts. This oil can be used on diesel engine or gasoline engine

Oil kinds of DM, this is high quality oil because this type of oil containing a variety of additives that quality is very good and the price is quite expensive. This special type of oil used for diesel engines and machines that work heavily. This oil contains substances that are present in the type DG but added with pour poet depressant that can make this oil resistant high temperature will be.

In addition to the standards issued by SAE oil there are also standard issued by the fire code is marked with the SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, and SF. Then to diesel engines are marked with code CA, CB, CC and CD. The oil comes with a standard API such as SE, SF or SD contains additional substances that contain a neutralizer such as full of sulfur, a substance anti substance paddling, Bussan and so forth, as well as the oil is made from pure mineral oil.

How to Avoid Damage to the Motor Due To the Hollow Road

Surely you often hear lots motorcyclist who suffered an accident let alone if the holiday season has arrived. One of the factors the causes of motorcycle accidents on highways is due to the hole in the street.
You've heard the news there are bikers who died because of the bike and rider plunged hole bounced streets and died instantly.

The holes in the streets it is very dangerous for motorists and if not careful could eliminate our lives. Therefore we should be more careful if passing through the streets that many such holes at both the time of day let alone the night surely has to be extra careful, because if not then it is actually the danger stalking us through the holes in it.

For those of you who have a habit of motor speeds above 80 km/h, it reduced its velocity in order to anticipate and avoid the holes freely. With motor of not too toned things that harm could be anticipated and minimized.

If forced to whole be inevitable should immediately take a position can stand as a crosser is being played. This is quite effective for reducing or dampens the shocks. Do not stop the pace of motor with sudden brake or brakes off, this can cause the motor upside down or team.

Do braking bit by bit while taking off the gas then shift gears into a lower gear position. Try to keep it straight while standing and do not try to turn suddenly because it could cause the balance be can not be controlled or lost control.

If driving at Night preferably using bright lights only and if you only have a regular light bulbs should be replaced with the standard. We recommend that you check also whether lights far and near to function properly and be able to highlight the way to its full potential.

If the lights a bit wonky, should be set up again so straight forward. Rear and brake lights should certainly up and running. This is very important so that the driver behind can see if we were braking.

For you who love drove his motorcycle at high speed should be checked beforehand seal sokbreker conditions should not be any leaks. If the seal is leaking can cause the shock damping to be reduced even function at all. If it turns out the shock absorbers are damaged or worn should be replaced with new ones.

How to overcome the constraints on Car lubrication system

The use of oil in the vehicle is very important needs in the lubrication system. The oil not only serves for the lubrication of the engine, but also necessary for the lubrication of gearbox, four-wheel, power steering and other car components that require lubrication.

The primary use of oil is to lubricate and cool the components that move and become hot due to movement or friction that occurs. Beside that, oil also serves to clean up the grime remains of burning and others. Uses or functions of the oil have the same level of effectiveness and there is nothing at all that can be ignored.

Direct contact that occurs between components of a mechanism that is experiencing movement or friction can cause negative effects. This is very detrimental and could have an impact to the other parts. The intended negative effect among others is the onset of heat, loss of energy, wear and tear and damage the engine. Therefore some general and viscosity oil in the engine and the possibility of oil leakage is very important to always be aware of.

Actual vehicle oil replacement time has been determined by the manufacturer of the oil in the manual book and service manual that has been created. Generally the manufacturer specifies the time the replacement of oil after a distance of 5000 kilometers.

But in fact is rarely based on car owner's manual or service manual eBook. They better keep the suggestions from the workshop through the card services, namely oil replacement time set every crossroads 2000 kilometers.

In fact the limitations specified kilometers should ideally be based on the use of the vehicle, the type of machine, road conditions, the type of fuel and the quality of the oil itself. To extend the lifetime of the oil can be done by way of a notice also her treatment as replacement filter oil every 10,000 kilometers. Filter the oil for too long do not fit snugly can also cause a lifetime of oil so shorter or faster.

The decline in the quality of the oil can also be caused by dilution or gasoline that does not burn infiltrated the oil. Oil leaks can occur due to compression in the crankcase is too high.
The symptoms, as if oil is leaking from any angle machines. The reason is because the piston rings are worn, causing blow by from the crankcase to the combustion chamber, so that the oil bursts into all the loose seal.

Besides ring piston crankcase ventilation holes may be worn out also clogged. Oil leak could also come from the lid, cover, a.k.a. timing chain or top side of the crankcase. To cope with this kind of thing is easy, which is enough to replace the gasket leaking. Tightening the bolts can be a little help, but it would be nice if the gasket is replaced.
