How to save yourself and the car from the heat!
29.05.2018

The heat and the sun can not only give you a perfect, or not quite, tan. They can also do mischief. This is especially true for those who spend a lot of time at the wheel in the summer.
So save yourself so as not to lose:
1. When parking, leave your car in the shade if possible.
2. Even after a short stall, it is necessary to ventilate the cabin and only then start the movement.
3. It is necessary to have in the car a minimum amount of drugs that you use as a rule, and also necessarily - a supply of water.
4. With the slightest deterioration of well-being you must necessarily lower your speed and stop.
5. Try not to exceed the speed and increase the distance to vehicles that are moving in front.
6. If you need to stop, then you need to slow down the speed gradually, because with sharp abrasion on a hot asphalt the car can be put.

How to care for cars in the summer!
15.05.2018

"How do you feel about a car, so it serves in response" - the truth has long been known and verified in practice. We offer to learn more ... much more about what they are - rules of operation and car maintenance in the summer season!
1. Regular washing
Yes, so, wash the car in the summer often! Now there is no salt and no dirt, as in winter, but there are bird droppings, spatula, splashes of bitumen, dirt, dust, juice from lime. All these contaminants can damage paint and varnish coating. Even if they are chemically inactive and do not corrode it, at least the paint can burn out unevenly and the machine is covered with stains.
How often should you wash your car? At least once or twice a week, "wash the dirt" and once a month, a full wash.
2. Avoid poplar
Poplar fluff, heat, July ... Fluffy poplar sedimentation highlights sticky yellow resin, which is very difficult to wash. In addition, he clogs the heatsink and worsens the cooling of the motor.
3. Replace the filters
Namely the air filter of the engine and salon. In the summer, a lot of dust and they quickly clog up. Lack of air can cause incorrect operation of the engine, and in the cabin will not be sufficiently good to cool the air conditioner.
4. Hide from the sun
If you leave the car for several hours under the scorching sun, then you can come back to see the plastic trim of the cabin, which has already changed the shape. And the electronics may refuse to overheat. So try to leave the car in the shade, but rather buy a cover - and the car does not overheat and will have additional protection of the body from the same litter, down and lime.
5. Cool to the extent
Use air conditioning moderately. Do not do in the cabin North Pole, when on the street Sahara. It is harmful to your health. In addition, the air conditioner - an additional load for the engine, with it he quickly heats up in traffic, it will be worse to pull and gasoline will eat more. The climate system before the season should be served and cleaned - so that there were no unpleasant odors.
6. Do not fill the full tank
Some even advise to fill it no more than 50%. We believe that it is optimally about 3/4 capacity. The fact is that on the heat the fuel expands, can leak and even flare up.
7. Battery
The heat has a very negative effect on its resource. Control the electrolyte level and, if necessary, pour distilled water.
8. Tires
More often control the pressure, worn tires can even explode. This will require a combination of high temperatures, which leads to increased pressure and impact, which on our roads for a long time to look for is not necessary.
9. Brake
Actual especially if you are moving on mountain roads. The mechanisms themselves (discs, pads) can overheat, they can boil the brake fluid. To avoid this, do not turn off the clutch in the descents (use engine braking). And the liquid should be changed if it is already 2 years or more.

What oil should I use for a motorcycle engine?
18.04.2018

    First of all, it is necessary to determine which type of engine. If the 2-stroke is, of course, an oil for 2-stroke engines. Such oil is mixed with fuel and therefore burns, usually red or green. The bright color of such oils is provided in order not to mislead it with ordinary motor oil and visually estimate the mixing with fuel. According to the API classification (American Institute of Oil) and JASO (Japanese Automobile Association), the oil should be selected depending on engine volume and oil quality (Table 1)

    A slightly different situation with 4-stroke engines. First of all, you need to realize that, for today, oils for motorcycles and cars for automobiles are virtually different oils. Due to different operating conditions, in particular the speed of a motorcycle engine, the engine's temperature is much higher, and the physico-chemical properties of the oil, such as resistance to the cut, temperature stability, are different. Modern motorcycle oils are selected not only because of the quality class (API, JASO) and viscosity grade (SAE), but also on the type of vehicle itself (tourist, chopper, croaker or sports motorcycle). The engine manufacturer's recommendation is also extremely important.
    A striking example of such oils is the progressive oil brand for motorcycles PLATINUM RIDER, manufactured under the new original High Temperature Stability formula. Verified not only by ordinary consumers, but also on different types of competitions, in extreme conditions such as DAKKAR.

Happy Easter!

Is darkening of the engine oil is a normal phenomenon?
02.04.2018

     Yes, this is absolutely normal, because the quality oil should neutralize the products of decomposition in the engine after combustion of fuel. After all, it is the products of decay, which may be sulfur, soot, tar, varnish, various acids depending on the type of fuel, significantly affect the color of motor oil during operation. It is necessary to worry when the color does not change during long-term operation. This may be a sign of a low alkaline amount of oil which is commonly referred to as washing the number of people. In the certificate or in the catalog for oil it should be indicated. It is desirable that for petrol and gas engines it was from 6.5 to 11 mgKON / g and 7-14 for diesel engines. The darkening of the oil within reasonable limits should not be feared. A similar situation requires washing dirty hands, using an alkaline solution (for example, soap), we see contaminated water, but clean hands. Similarly, with oil in the engine, it will darken, but the engine will remain clean.

How to choose the oil for the chainsaw and the chain. What is important?
26.03.2018

Spring has come, and with it and time is garden works. When cutting a tree to a modern person it is already hard to do without garden machinery, (petrol, and electric saws). In this article, we will talk about the oil that needs to be used in this technique and how important it plays.
    
As you know, the chainsaw has a two-stroke internal combustion engine. There is no direct supply of oil in it, therefore the fuel-oil mixture is used. The main proportion of mixing is 1:50, at least 1:40. When choosing an oil, it is necessary to be guided exclusively by the requirements of the manufacturer of chainsaws, as well as the specifications of the oil itself. It is for the chainsaw that there are no specially designed tolerances, however, there is for two-stroke engines in general. For example, API TC + JASO FC CEC TSC-3 ISO-L-EGD. (We will not dwell on the consideration of these specifications). In essence, the oil in the chainsaw performs a number of important functions, namely:
1. Excellent mixing with gasoline (special additive);
2.Antioxidative ability;
3. Anticorrosion function;
4.Transfer function;
5. Meaningful function.
    
Along with these functions, the oil should have the lowest ash content, low ability to smoke, and should also prevent coking of bypass and exhaust systems. The oil should also have a low frosting point, for example, when working in the autumn-winter period. When working in the engine, the oil must prevent the spark plugs contaminated, ensure the engine's cleanliness, reduce the wear of the moving parts.
    
Orlen Oil Trawol 2T Olive Oil fulfills these requirements and performs these functions, with properties you can find in our online store.
    
Fuel and oil mixture should be stored for no more than two weeks! Since during long-term storage chemical reactions of oxidation occur, and volatile components of gasoline evaporate. All this in general can negatively affect the engine chainsaws. And the consumer in turn will blame the manufacturer of oil.
It is also important to lubricate the chain and sprockets on the tires. Many believe that you can use any oil for these purposes. We dare to disappoint you if you drank, not your neighbor, so do, not recommended.
The chain oil in the first place should reduce the temperature resulting from the friction of the chain and the tires. It should reduce the wear of the teeth, the parts and the steering tire. Also, this oil should have in its composition anticorrosive, antioxidant, anti-wear additive. It should have good sticky. All these qualities have a product that is presented in the LOKO assortment, namely: Pilarol (Z).
It should also be remembered that after working with a saw, it is necessary to lubricate the star on the tire with a special syringe, to clean the tire from sawdust to clean the holes for the oil supply.

When to replace tires for the summer?
12.03.2018

    Almost everyone encounters this issue. Here the main thing is not to miss. Indeed, the weather this spring is variable. How to figure it out - when to go to the tire? Experts advise to change tires for summer, when the average daily temperature has exceeded the mark + 5-7 degrees. Previously dangerous, on the morning lake you can easily fly to the ditch. Later - stupid, on a dry and warm road, winter tires are more likely to wear out.
    Winter rubber, unlike the summer, is softer. Already at temperatures above +10 degrees winter tires start to work worse, heat more warm under the rays of the sun and from warm asphalt, become softer, the tread pattern is more likely to be erased. A studded rubber - not only that wears off the onset of warm weather, the spikes on wet asphalt lengthen the braking distance and generally make an uncomfortable trip on a dry road.
    Of course, at the very best time in the tire repair shops - a boom. But it is better to enroll in advance or eventually defend the queue to the tire than to ride on rubber, inappropriate season. After all, no one in the head will have to walk in the spring in the boots. So why force a car to drive in winter tires?
In addition, if you are going to change tires for new ones - change everything right away. Do not follow the advice to change the tires only on drive wheels (front or rear, depending on the type of drive). The car, worn in a variety of types of tires, dramatically loses its sustainability on the road. And of course, change the tire if you notice the bloating on its surface, cuts through which the cord is visible.
    Another painful question - is it necessary to have a second set of disks in order not to rearrange winter-summer tires every time on the same disks? Experts leave it at the discretion of car owners. From overlapped rubber tires do not suffer. At the same time, having two sets of wheels with discs, you can save on the services of tire carriers, independently rearranging tires in the garage.
    However, after a couple of years, you will still have to go to the tire center in the tire - tires tend not to last for more than two or three seasons without losing consumer properties. So the savings will be scanty.
    From which manufacturer to choose tires, solves each person, based on personal preferences and budget size. Undoubtedly, the quality of tires directly depends on their prices and used in the production of technology. But not always the most expensive rubber - the best. The difference in behavior on the road of different tires can be noticed only by a specialist.

What does need to be known driver about an antifreeze?
02.03.2018
In order to answer this question it is necessary to determine what functions should be performed by the coolant.
The main ones are:
1) Effectively remove heat from the engine;
2) have a high boiling point;
3) Do not cause corrosion in the cooling system and also protect it from corrosion;
4) Have a low freezing point;
5) Mother has the maximum length of use.
First of all, we want to emphasize that to determine the quality of antifreeze necessarily need to do laboratory research, but still some parameters can be estimated by simple visual methods, in particular:
1) If the cooling liquid with intense shaking is foaming and the foam does not settle for a long time, then forget about such a liquid, in case you have a modern car with high engine operating temperatures. Such a liquid is suitable only for older types of cars with low operating temperatures.
2) We can obtain data on the boiling and crystallization temperature only from the quality certificate on the product, but since the boiling point depends on the crystallization temperature, you should not expect that at the declared temperature of crystallization -650C you will have a boiling point of 1000C. As a rule, at a freezing point, most likely the boiling temperature will be no more than 850C. Due to the fact that the overwhelming majority of modern liquids consists of two main constituents of MEG, which freezes at a temperature of -12-150C and water with a crystallization temperature of 0 ° C, only with the proper proportions the parameters of the finished liquid can be applied to the desired temperature regimes.
We want to remind that Antifreeze is an international name for cooling liquids for engine cooling systems, and Tosol is a trademark of non-freezing coolant (antifreeze) developed in the USSR.
An optimum liquid for our conditions is a coolant with a temperature of crystallization of -350C and, correspondingly, a boiling point of 107-1080C.
Remember that if you prefer toastolium with a lower temperature of crystallization, you risk to get a low boiling point, which can have lethargic effects on your engine engine.
3) In order that the liquid does not cause corrosion, it must have adequate alkaline storage (in the range of 7.5 to 10). Such a liquid will affect whether corrosion will develop or not.
4) Since the two main components of the cooling fluid form an alcoholic solution, and all the alcohols are known to form acid during heating, there is a need to apply additional enrichment supplements. The more they are - the "noblest". But all the alcohols are corrosive substances that, when heated, form extremely aggressive oxides. Therefore, if your car is equipped with a radiator made of aluminum alloys, the simplest antifreeze in a very short time will turn it into something similar to a macaroni rinse. High-quality antifreeze contains a clear inscription on the package that they are suitable for use in aluminum radiators. The manufacturer, as a rule, tries to emphasize this, because the preparation of such a liquid requires very valuable components.
Dear our motorists, when choosing a coolant always use the recommendations of the manufacturer, beware of fakes (always the most popular products are forging).
Remember: overcooling or overheating of the engine reduces its motorcycle, leads to increased fuel and oil consumption.


Characteristics of motor oils by SAE
20.02.2018

The viscosity of engine oil is currently determined by the SAE specification. The Society of Automotive Engineers, which means this abbreviation, has developed an international classification, which has become a common standard in most countries of the world.
The marking of motor oils by SAE regulates their viscosity. All world manufacturers of motor oils indicate in their products the designation in accordance with this classification. Let's try to figure it out.
 
Classification of motor oils by SAE
Most car owners distinguish between winter, all-season and summer motor oil. SAE provides an understanding of their features in their specification, where each grade of viscosity has particular significance. The classification of motor oils contains 5 summer and 6 winter classes of oils. The letter "W" in the designation means "use during the winter".
    
With the increase in the viscosity of the oil, the number that describes its class increases.
Specification of SAE motor oils characterizes only their viscosity-temperature properties, divided by season of use.
Classification of motor oils by SAE provides for all-season types of designation of the winter and summer viscosity parameters. As, for example, in 5W-30: the viscosity parameter for the cold season is reflected to the left with the index "W", and for the demo-loop cycle - in the right only figures.
The viscosity of SAE winter grades of motor oil is defined from 0W to 25W in 5 steps increments. Summer classes with the same step are characterized by parameters 20-60.

Requirements of the SAE Specification to Motor Oils
Characteristics of motor oils for SAE is determined by four main indicators:
1. Viscosity in the operating mode of ICE.
2. Kinematic viscosity.
3. Starting properties.
4. Propellation.
    
The first indicator indicates the actual viscosity of the oil on the heated engine. He characterizes the ability of oil to resist:
1. wear of the piston group;
2. losses in the interaction of pairs;
3. temperature fluctuations when heating internal combustion engines when changing modes.
Taken together, the viscosity of motor oil determines the fuel consumption of ICE of any type. Other parameters will be more interesting to engineers than car owners.

    
When choosing the grade of viscosity of engine oil, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations. If your transport is used and there is no service book, then use simple selection rules:
1. When choosing winter oil, estimate the average winter temperatures in the area where you live. Select the viscosity class on the table based on these values ​​to ensure easy startup.
2. Try to use all-season variants of oils with indices from 0W30 to 10W-40 in a mild, moderately continental climate. The viscosity of the engine oil of this class will be optimal when not hot summer and warm winter. Such a choice will allow you to quickly and easily start the engine both in the cold and after long breaks in operation during the spring-autumn cycle.
    
The use of seasonal varieties is justified only in a sharply continental climate and significantly increases the cost of changing the oil needed at least twice a year.
