Can an oil with a better standard be poured into the engine of a car with a lower standard requirement?
09.10.2018

    When buying a car, we often wonder what is its actual mileage and what oil was applied by the previous user. The answers to both questions should be given by the former owner, but they often do not know or are simply not interested in them.
    Unfortunately, this type of situation can cause problems to the new owner who, in good faith, basing on the vehicle mileage and recommendations of the manufacturer, pours premium quality oil recommended for the model. If the mileage was real, and the oil previously used was of a similar class and was regularly changed, we can be confident about our new acquisition. Otherwise - high mileage and operating the engine at low-grade oil - pouring oil of worse quality can cost us dearly.
    Generally, if the car engine is filled with mineral oil, it should not be changed for a synthetic or a semisynthetic oil. If the engine is operated at a semisynthetic oil, we can safely replace it with a mineral oil. A synthetic product can be replaced by a synthetic or a semi-synthetic mineral oil, provided that the levels of quality and viscosity are as required.
    So, what are the dangers for the drive unit resulting from the change of mineral oil to a synthetic product? Well, mineral oil creates a slightly thicker oil film on the more worn engine parts of an exploited engine with high mileage. In addition, mineral oils, especially those of lower quality grades, contain much less additives responsible for keeping the engine pure than synthetic oils. This difference may cause a threat to the engine which is used only at a low-grade mineral or a semisynthetic oil. Changing a mineral oil to a synthetic oil can cause dissolution and leaching of the existing deposits and carbon deposits in the engine. There may, therefore, appear clearances at the engine worn parts which in turn will cause accelerated wearing. Additionally, there is a risk of oil leakage from the engine due to the dissolved deposits around the engine seals.
    Cars that were operated on oils recommended by manufacturers and with changes on a regular basis and in accordance with the indications of the service should not be exposed to this type of danger, even when using the oil meeting the standards higher than those recommended. An example would be the use of oil of quality grade according to API SM for a gasoline engine for which an API SL oil is recommended.
    However, in the case where oil quality requirements are determined by manufacturers by means of their own standards and specifications, it is recommended not to use oils of similar viscosity and qualitative parameters that do not meet specific standards required by the manufacturer.

PLATINUM Agro line
20.08.2018

   Nowadays, agriculture is perceived as a dynamically developing industry. Modern, trouble-free equipment is indispensable to increase yields and work on large areas. Older machinery is therefore gradually replaced with efficient modern equipment.
    Lubricant manufacturers are thus compelled to keep pace with the recent developments in machinery by improving their existing lubricants and developing new ones. When it comes to engine, gear and transmission oils, the changes occur very rapidly. As a rule, each new series of tractors or other agricultural machinery requires a specific type of gear or engine oil, which cannot be replaced by an oil of different specifications. Deep changes observed in agriculture inspire development of an offer for agricultural equipment. Products meeting the expectations of farmers, availability and quality certified by leading manufacturers of modern tractors and agricultural machines are the main strengths of ORLEN OIL.

PLATINUM Agro motor oils, developed specifically for modern agricultural machinery, are ORLEN OIL's response to changing expectations. The latest technology incorporated in PLATINUM Agro oils guarantees safety of the machinery and equipment used in agriculture. The oils are diversified as to quality classes required for modern agricultural machinery.
    High quality base oils combined with a perfect blend of enriching additives guarantee efficient engine lubrication, thus ensuring excellent engine performance even in the most demanding conditions and extended oil change intervals. Platinum AGRO motor oils guarantee easy cold start and good pumpability during spring and autumn frost.

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.
