Lubricants are essential ingredients for a motor vehicle. Choosing and using a good lubricant and correct for your motor vehicle, is an appropriate step to take care of machinery and equipment that is not easily damaged vehicle and prevent waste.
General thought that the main function is as an engine lubricating oil. Though oil has another function that is not less important, namely, among others as: Cooling, Patron of Karat, Cleaning and Closing Gaps in the wall machine.
All these functions are very closely related; as Lubricants, Oil will create friction between moving parts inside the engine is more refined, making it easier for machines to achieve the ideal working temperature. Besides 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 viscosity that are tailored to the needs of volume and capacity of the machine. The more viscous oil, the rate of leakage will be smaller, but on the other hand resulted in increased workload for the oil pump.
Therefore, vehicle engines designated for New (and / or relatively new under the age of 3 years) is recommended to use oil with a minimum viscosity level SAE10W. Because all components of the new machine (with the latest technology) walls have holes or gaps are very small, so it will be difficult to enter by the oil that has a high viscosity.
Besides the content of additives in oil, will make a film layer on the cylinder wall to protect the engine at start. And prevent the onset of rust, even if the vehicle is not used for a long time. Beside that also contain detergent additives in lubricants to function as a result of residual solvent impurities to be wasted when the turn of burning oil.
