【Summary Description】
Motor oil has the functions of lubrication, sealing, cleaning, and heat dissipation. Taking care of and maintaining your car is inseparable from motor oil. So how do you choose the right oil to take care of your beloved car? A friend of mine who works in car repair provided me with a professional answer.
Industrial lubricants include a wide variety of lubricating oils and practical application fields. Although there are many types and countless examples, the main varieties include: steam turbine oil, bearing lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, machine tool lubricating oil, grease, metalworking fluid, textile lubricating oil, quenching oil, heat transfer oil, electrical oil, refrigerant oil, rust preventive oil, etc. These are widely used in industry and are well-known.
Industrial lubricating oils have different additives depending on the application. Hydraulic oil used outdoors must be suitable for local temperature variations and cannot use hydraulic oil designed for indoor sealed environments. Additionally, heavy-duty gear oil and forming oil have different usage conditions; heavy-duty gear oil contains extreme pressure additives to ensure it can be used in harsh environments, while forming oil is usually pure mineral oil without additives. What are the characteristics of lubricating oil?
1. Corrosion resistance and rust prevention, requiring protection of friction surfaces from oil deterioration or external erosion;
2. Reducing friction and wear, lowering friction resistance to save energy, reducing wear to extend machine life, and improving economic benefits;
3. Cooling, requiring the timely removal of friction heat from the machine;
4. Sealing, requiring prevention of leakage, dust, and gas intrusion;
5. Cleaning and flushing, requiring the removal of dirt from the friction area;
6. Stress dispersion and buffering, dispersing loads and softening impacts and vibrations;
7. Energy transmission, such as in hydraulic systems, remote-controlled motors, and frictionless variable speed drives. Automotive lubricating oil is a very important category within industrial lubricants, as it plays a role in the operation of the engine. If some friction parts do not receive proper lubrication, dry friction will occur.
Practical experience has shown that the heat generated by dry friction in a short time is sufficient to melt metal, causing damage to components or even seizing (many cars with water or oil leaks experience cylinder pulling, axle binding, etc., mainly due to this reason). Therefore, it is essential to provide good lubrication to the friction parts in the engine. The application of Moqi graphene engine maintenance products, which use high-tech graphene nano materials, doubles lubrication, repairs wear marks, forms a nano-level protective film between friction components, enhances engine power, reduces oil consumption, and fully protects the engine of your beloved car.
