Automotive oil is an important component that provides long engine operation. In order to find it correctly, it is necessary to consider the engine type, manufacturer's recommendations, as well as the experience of the previous owner, if you took the car "with hands".

Types of motor oils.

According to its type motor oils are divided into:

• Mineral, known as "mineral water", are made by processing and purifying oil;
• Synthetic or "synthetics" are created from gas synthesis;
• The semi-synthetic is a mixture in different proportions of the first two oils and is called "semi-synthetic".

Each of the presented oils has its pros and cons, for example, mineral oil It has its own low cost, in comparison with two others. But it is more often changed, as it quickly goes to the engine, it is recommended to fill in cars that are not used in harsh conditions. It is characterized by increased viscosity and significantly reduces the risk of replacing the glands and gaskets. Most often it is used in domestic carsAs well as cars with carburetor engine.

Synthetic oil is a product that reliably covers the engine and its parts to the film, providing additional protection, and its composition makes it easy to start the car even in frosts, and also do not overheat the engine in the heat. Such oil is often used in sports cars, as well as machines operating in low / high temperatures. A minus, for some car enthusiasts, the price of synthetic oil can become.

Semi-synthetic - oil, combining the acceptable cost of mineral water and the reliability of synthetics. For many car enthusiasts - semi-synthetic is considered the very golden middle, combining the balance of prices and quality.

How to choose oil?

To choose the right oil, you must look into technical documentation And find out what tolerance is specified for the car. More details about the tolerance of engine oil can be found from. It is also worth considering such a parameter as viscosity - the International SAE standard. It is from viscosity that depends on the oil fluidity and its ability to easily start the car in the cold period. Oils recommended to use in winter time The year in the title has the letter W (from English. "Winter" - "Winter"), and the smaller the figure in front of the letter, the more oil is steady to cold. For example, the temperature regime of 0W oil to -45 degrees, 5W to -35, etc.

It is necessary to take into account the weather conditions in which the car is operated: for the cold climate, pick up low viscosity oils, and for hot - with high viscosity. If the engine has an old car and / or worn, then you should not pour out expensive synthetics, as the glands and gaskets will simply be incompatible and can only harm the motor. IN specifications It is usually indicated to use only original oil, such as Toyota or BMW. If the machine is under warranty, it is worth pouring only original oils. If the warranty period of the machine has expired, you can use any other oil with similar characteristics. It is worth remembering that it is impossible to mix different species Oils from different manufacturers.

Comments on this blog entry

• Regarding the product Mobil Super 3000 x1 Formula Fe 5W-30 4l - There are no violations. The product is completely original.
  The main plant manufacturer of this product is the plants in the city of Guenshon, France (letter G) or in the city of Dawn, Sweden (letter U).
  Currently, the only plant that produces shipment for our region - Naantali, Finland (letter N). If the oil is produced at another factory, it is delivered by the sea to the plant in Naantali, where it is performed by its packaging in the container and shipping the final buyer (distributor). Therefore, in the situation with Mobil Super 3000 X1 Formula Fe 5W-30, the data is indicated on the canister - the manufacturer of Sweden (dwelled), and the factory Batch code - phasing countries and shipment of Finland (Naantali).
  On the canister there are several additional external control elements of originality - this is a QR code and "luminous" on the front label under the rays of the ultraviolet letter "O" in the word Mobil, as well as the viscosity of 5W-30.
• Good day. On the inside of the label canister Mobil Super 3000 X1 Formula Fe 5W-30 4l (November 2018) it is written that it is produced in Sweden. Batch code begins on N - Naantali (Naantali, Finland). Can this testify to the fake? The QR-code check gave a complete coincidence.
  Thanks in advance for the answer.

Each car owner, caring for his car, pays special attention Not only the reliable operation of all moving parts of the engine, but also the durability of their service depends on its properties and quality. In addition, poor-quality or incorrectly chosen oil can cause failure of the entire lubrication system.

To the motor of your car worked as a clock, and its details served a long time, you need to learn to understand the types lubricantspresented today on the market.

Why need to label oils

Correctly choose the lubricant for the engine or the transmission can only be measurable, which means the labeling of the oil. The set of incomprehensible at first glance and numbers applied to the lubricant container determines its manufacturer, composition, the ability to use in various types of engines or transmission, as well as the limiting temperature mode for operation. In addition, the marking of oils allows you to determine their classification for a quality group and viscosity properties.

To understand all this, first you need to deal with what the characters contained on the container label with the lubricant material. Do not run forward, start with the oils for engines.

Decoding Motor Oil Markings

When choosing grease, the first thing is to ask the seller about its purpose, characteristics and manufacturer, and then compare the information provided with the data specified on the label.

Typically, the engine oil marking contains such information:

• manufacturer;
• name of oil;
• basis of lubricant (organic, synthetic or semi-synthetic);
• quality and purpose by API classification;
• viscosity properties of PO sAE classification;
• party number;
• manufacture date

Today, the products can be found in the market as world leaders in the production of lubricants and anyone unknown semi-propelled import and domestic firms manufacturing motor oil. The price of the brand and Selfal, naturally different, but it is unlikely to be challenged for the cheapness, if it comes to lubricant for your personal car.

When choosing an oil, it usually does not arise with the manufacturer and title. Advertising and recommendations of specialists here are the best criterion.

Part number and oil manufacturing date indicate the use of lubrication use. Although lubricants are not a perishable product, it is better to refrain from the use of overdue goods.

If the manufacturer, the name and date of the manufacture of lubrication is more or less clear, then with other quality indicators contained on the label, it is worth understanding more in detail. Correct labeling of engine oil marking will help not only understand how lubricant does your car engine, but also choose the highest quality product.

The base of the oil

Absolutely all lubricants in composition are taken to the process of three groups:

• mineral (organic);
• semi-synthetic;
• synthetic

Mineral oils are made of natural material - oil. They do not have ultra-high lubricating characteristics and dramatically change the viscosity when changing temperatures. Such lubricants are used mainly for use in old domestic cars and tractors. Marking of oils derived from oil contains the inscription "Mineral".

Synthetic lubricants are an artificial product obtained during organic synthesis. These oils in terms of their operational properties have a huge advantage over mineral. They were created artificially specifically for use in critical temperature conditions. Marking of synthetic oils contains the inscription "FULLY SYNTHETIC".

Synthetic lubricants have minimal evaporation when used, have a long service life, and also provide the most stable work mechanisms under conditions of low temperatures. They apply as for diesel enginesand for gasoline, including those highly affiliated.

For the predominant majority modern cars Used exclusively synthetic oil. The price of it is much higher than mineral, but the use of the latter in newest engines Just unacceptable.

Semi-synthetic lubricants are a universal lubricatory product obtained as a result of proportional mixing of mineral and synthetic oils. Possessing all the best qualities of the "Organics" and "Synthetics", they are a universal lubricant for any type of engine. Determine semi-synthetic oil You can marking "Semi Synthetic".

Oil viscosity

The main characteristic of motor lubricants is viscosity. It is for it that you should guide first, choosing oil for the engine. Today is a generally accepted separation system motor lubricants SAE classification is considered to be viscosity. It is developed by the society of American automotive engineers and is one of the most important oils in marking.

According to her, there are two types: kinematic and dynamic. The first is characterized by the ability to flow through a special capillary tube for a certain time interval. The second shows how viscosity changes under the influence of temperatures and the speed of driving elements.

Oil, like any other liquid, has a property to change under the action of the ambient temperature. Its viscosity in winter is higher, and in the summer below. With strong drops, this indicator may increase or decrease hundreds of times. Oil marking on SAE takes into account the seasonality of its use with gradation to:

• summer;
• winter;
• all-season

Summer oils

Summer lubricants have a greater viscosity, which provides best lubricant Running details with the smallest friction. However, such an oil lowered the temperature below 0 0 s becomes too thick, which makes the engine starting almost impossible. The starter is simply unable to scroll through the whole mechanism due to such viscosity.

Summer row of motor lubricants has digital designation From 20 to 60 units that determine the class of viscosity depending on the temperature with discreteness 10.

Thus, marking oils for summer use has the designations of SAE 20, SAE 30, SAE 40, SAE 50 and SAE 60, where the numbers indicate the minimum and maximum viscosity at operating temperature 100-150 0 C. The higher this indicator, the coming to the grease when heating.

Winter oils

Marking winter Oil Contains figures from 0 to 25 with a discreteness of 5 units, denoting a working W and W letter W, indicating the use season (from the English. "Winter" - winter). In order to determine the minimum temperature of its use, it is necessary to take 40 from the specified number. For example, for winter oil 5 W it will be -35 0 C, for 20W -20 0 s, etc. This is the lower boundary temperature at which the lubricating fluid is possible on the system.

However, for winter lubrication, another criterion is important, determining the lower boundary of the temperature, at which the starter will be able to scroll the engine mechanism to start it - this is a turnover. To find out, it is necessary to take it from the specified number 35. Thus, for oil 10 W, the lower limit of the temperature to start the engine is -25 0 C.

All-season oils

Such lubricants are universal and make it possible to apply them year-round. These are the most popular and demanded automotive oils. Marking of all-season lubricants consists of two numbers and the English letter W between them. The first indicator indicates a boundary minimum temperature at which a cold engine start is possible, and the second is on viscosity at maximum working heating.

For example, the 5W40 oil marking indicates that the launch of the motor with this lubricant will take place at -35 0 C. Letter W, dividing winter and summer indicators, indicates here to universal seasonal use.

Maximum viscosity at a temperature of + 100-150 0 C will be 40 units.

Marking of SAE oil and its correspondence

Russian meets the requirements of GOST 17479.1-85. It divides lubricants to viscosity classes and for appointment.

Summer oils are marked with numbers 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24. They indicate viscosity in mm 2 / s. The higher the number, the thick of the grease. Winter oil marking provides only three digits - 4, 5 or 6.

All-season lubricants have a double-split designation, where the numerator is a winter class, and the denominator is summer. In addition, the labeling transformation often contains the letter "s", indicating that the oil is thickened with special additives (4zz / 10, 6 s / 16).

In order to determine what domestic Oil According to the classification of GOST, imported analogue is complied with special tables. With their help, you can easily choose our lubricant for a foreign car and vice versa. For example, the labeling of oil 5W30 corresponds to our designation 4/12, 15W50 - 6Z10, 20W40 - 8Z / 16, etc.

API Oil Classification

In addition to the class of viscosity, lubricating products are customary to classify by degree performance characteristics and applications. The American Oil Institute (API) is engaged in studying and systematization. According to this system, everyone is divided into two groups:

• for gasoline engines;
• for diesel engines

Lubricating products for gasoline engines are denoted by the LITERA S and are intended for use in the engine passenger cars, minibuses and small trucks.

Oils for diesel engines are marked with the letter C, which orients to use in industrial, commercial and agricultural automotive technology.

In addition, the API classification includes another liter indicating a qualitative level of operational characteristics. The further it is distant from the beginning of the alphabet, the better the quality of the product. For example, SJ marking indicates that it is an oil for gasoline engine system with an average quality indicator.

However, most of the overseas manufacturers of lubricants for engines produce universal products, the use of which is possible in gasoline, and in diesel engines. Marking Oils for both types of DVS contains 4 liters of 2 through the fraction. For example, SD / CJ.

This largely simplifies the choice of lubricating fluid, but it is worth paying attention to the first letter of marking. If this is, then this product, according to the manufacturer, is more suitable for gasoline engines if C, then for diesel.

So, having understood with all possible characters present on the engine oil label, let's try to read standard marking. For example, the inscription "BP Visco2000 SG / CC SAE 15W-40 MIN. No. 234567/96 22.04.2013 "It says that this is a universal mineral product of British Petroleum with the name" Visco2000 ", designed for use in any type of internal engine (gasoline and diesel) year-round at a temperature not lower than -25 0 s, produced 22.04 .year 2013.

Other engine oil classifications

In addition to SAE and API, there are other classifications of oils. For example, the Association of European Automakers (ACEA) makes more stringent requirements for their quality. This is due to the difference in the design of the engine and operating conditions of cars. First, European machines have a smaller mass and volume of the power unit, and secondly, their engines are high-speed and more powerful.

The ACEA classification provides 12 classes and systematizes motor oils in 3 categories:

• A - for gasoline power aggregates passenger cars;
• B - for diesel engines of passenger cars;
• E - for diesel engines Trucks and other heavy machinery

The International Committee for the Study and Systematization of Lubricants (ILSAC), together with the Association of Japan Automobiles (JAMA), has developed its own classification that includes only 3 class of oil quality for gasoline engines (GF-1, GF-2, GF-3).

Leading world car manufacturers have their own classifications of lubricants or put forward certain requirements for manufactured products. This is due to the fact that engines different cars Have significant differences in the design. Autocontraceans independently conduct research and testing of motor oils, based on the results of which its specification creates or certain recommendations for the exploitation of the product existing on the market.

Transmission lubricants are undeservedly paid much less attention than the motor, although they perform almost the same functions. The only difference is the absence of high temperatures caused by the engine internal combustion. Due to this, transmission oils have a much longer service life. Their destination is reduced to lubrication and reduce friction force in gearboxes, control mechanisms, dispensing systems and leading bridges.

The marking of transmission oils is not as detailed and complex both in motor lubricants, but also requires understanding, since it will depend on this stability of the work of listed aggregates.

In total, the SAE classification distinguishes 9 levels of viscosity of lubricants for vehicles with mechanical transmission: 5 year old (80, 85, 90, 140, 250) and 4 winter (70W, 75W, 80W, 85W). However, in practice, all-season transmission automotive oils are used, most often, motorists are applied. The marking of such products also consists of a combination of two digits with a Litera W between them. For example, SAE 70W-85, SAE 80W-90, etc.

Transmission oils, as well as motor, are classified according to the API system. Its adopted standards share lubricants into groups, depending on the type of design and operating conditions. In addition, the presence and amount in the lubricant product of special additives that prevent wear are still taken into account.

According to API Oil For transmissions are indicated by GL lists and numbers from 1 to 5, which correspond to the class. Than more classNevertheless, the conditions in which the lubricant can be operated.

Concerning automatic boxes Transmissions, then for them, ordinary transmission oils are not suitable. ATF working standards that have nothing to do with SAE and API are valid here. Lubricating products for automatic transmission are even painted in bright colors in order to prevent accidental use in mechanical structures.

• before you purchase a motor or transmission oil, you should explore the recommendations of the car manufacturer;
• use lubricants having more high level quality properties, not always justified, as this may adversely affect the stability of the lubrication system itself;
• it is important to replace the oil in the time limits specified in the manufacturer's manufacturer's recommendations;
• in cars S. big mileage Oil should be changed more often, since it is subject to more stringent working conditions in a worn engine;
• when replacing the oil, it is desirable to change the oil filter;
• unacceptably mix mineral and synthetic oil, it can lead to the formation of an insoluble sediment;
• tosses to the engine follows exactly the same oil, which was flooded earlier;
• periodically, the engine lubrication system is flushing with special liquids;
• it is impossible to reduce the oil level below the set minimum, it will inevitably lead to a rapid wear of rubbing parts;
• marking Oils for the engine and transmission must necessarily contain the production date of the product, focusing on which it is possible to determine its suitability (the maximum storage period of lubricants is 5 years);
• store motor or transmission oil only in a sealed container that protects the product from moisture and air exposure.

Knowing these simple rules, a variety of problems can be avoided.
