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.

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

machinery, are ORLEN OIL's response to changing expectations. The latest

GREASEN
N-EP 00/000 has officially confirmed that it meets the requirements of
MAN 283 Li-P 00/000, one of the leading companies engaged in the
manufacture of trucks, buses, minibuses, engines and industrial
equipment. This is a confirmation of the high quality of ORLEN OIL products.
The
GREASEN N-EP 00/000 grease is intended primarily to lubricate friction
units in passenger cars and heavy commercial vehicles and buses by using
central lubrication systems at temperatures from -30 ° C to + 90 ° C,
temporarily up to 120 ° C. GREASEN The N-EP 00/000 perfectly gives you a lot of stress and smoothness even at very low temperatures.
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.
