Types of Lubrication
Engine oil can at times be taken for granted and not given much of importance and most of the time not truly understood. But did you know that oil ensures your vehicle operates to the best of its ability? Acting as a lubricant in your motor, oil reduces the risk of engine parts getting damaged. Oil also reduces the wear on moving parts. Oil can also protect the engine against corrosion and wear and tear as oil begins to oxidate, ensuring an increased engine life and better performances. Oil improves fuel consumption, they also protect engine surfaces from wear during engine operation. Oil in other words has a huge role that affects both the performance and longevity of your engine.
When your engine is lubricated, it only put less work moving its pistons as the pistons glide smoothly. In the long run, this means that your vehicle can operate while using less fuel and run at a lower temperature. So the next time you think changing your oil can wait, you better not! Oil play huge and vital role in overall performance and the engine life of your vehicle.
Types of Lubricants
Mineral oils are lubricating oils refined from naturally occurring crude oil. Mineral lubricating oils are currently the most commonly used type because of the low cost of extracting the oils from crude oil. Mineral oils can be manufactured to have a varying thickness and stickiness, therefore making them useful in a wide range of applications.
Synthetic oils are lubricating oils that are processed and manufactured. Unlike mineral oils, these synthetic oils are made up of artificially made chemical compounds. Generated by chemical reactions utilizing temperature and pressure, synthetics are specifically designed to perform as a high quality lubricant and excellent for your internal combustion engine. Synthetics are less likely to oxidate, are more tolerant of high temperatures, and they don't thicken in colder temperatures.
