When operating a vehicle, engine oil gradually becomes dirty, aging, becomes less viscous and loses its lubricating and protective properties. And it threatens the increased wear of all engine parts.
Motor oil performs a truly unique role in the work of the entire vehicle. Let's consider what this role is.

Functions of engine oil:
     Motor oil lubricates all the parts of the automobile engine, which are in constant friction. Since the engine has a small number of bearings of rotation, the main load falls on the bearings of sliding. And if the oil loses its properties, then it starts to do worse for its work.
     The oil is, in essence, an engine cooling system. It takes away excessive heat from friction, which increases the possible time of their operation. Some cars even have special radiators to cool the oil so that it performs this function as best as possible.
    The oil provides cleaning of the automobile engine and all its parts from the scum and soot. That is why qualitative oil quickly darkens, which indicates its good cleaning properties. Someone may say that good oil should not change its color, but in fact - on the contrary.
     The oil forms a protective layer on the walls of the automobile engine, which prevents its wear during start-up. Also, this layer serves as an anticorrosive coating and protects the engine parts with a long, simple vehicle.
    If there is an old engine oil in the car's systems, then the vehicle will not travel long and will break very fast. Why is this happening? Replacing the engine oil, carried out untimely, can cause the strong deterioration of the main automobile unit - its engine. This, in turn, provokes a decrease in its performance, and in the future - a breakdown. Engine failure is a considerable financial expense. So, if the oil is heavily dirty or insufficient, be sure to complete the procedure for its complete replacement.
    Thus, motor oil plays an important role in the operation of the vehicle. It is therefore extremely important for him to change and use exactly the oil that is best suited for a specific car brand in a timely manner. And remember, the foolish economy of motor oil can cause a lot of waste.

If the wheel is lowered or punched?
    If you find a lowered wheel, then the first thing to try to pump it with the help of a car compressor for tires. It is desirable to have these devices for every motorist, because they will help to pump the wheel when there is no help or far from civilization (in the village or on a deserted route), and their cost is small.
When the car wheel is pumped, listen to the sounds that come out of the wheel. If the wheel is pierced or there is a cut, then you can hear a whistle from the bus. Also, a clear sign is the pressure drop in the tire, after being pumped to the nominal. Verdict: when the tire goes down very quickly and it is impossible to continue the movement - this is either a replacement for a spare wheel or to get to the nearest car service.
    And if you imagine that the two wheels are pierced, for example on the right side of the car. What to do then?
First of all, it comes to mind - to evacuate. It can always be done, there would be a mobile phone with you. But remember, if the situation occurred outside the city, the call of the tow truck will cost you a fair amount.
How much can you drive on the lowered wheel?
The main thing to go carefully and slowly. This is a risk because you can damage the car's suspension details. And also the wheel itself, and if you have original tires and discs, then moving on the wheel is extremely dangerous. Possible major damage to the tire and disk, which will lead to their complete replacement.
    Let's summarize, if you go to the tire not far, you can get yourself. If you are far from civilization and is not near the car service, it is worth filling the tire with scraps and getting to the place of repair. Also, do not forget about third-party assistance, such as the call evacuator, or the mutual assistance of drivers.

Tip  1
Pay attention to the viscosity of the oil. The result of the search for images for the query "oil viscosity"
One of the main criteria for a quality oil is its viscosity.
In fake oils, much less special additives and thickeners, so non-original composition may be unacceptably liquid.
Unfortunately, this does not always come out right away. If quality fake, then at normal temperature, the oil will have a normal thickness.
Cheating is already in the process of exploiting when checking the level of oil on a well-heated engine.
Tip  2
Take a look at the label.
This way of detecting a marriage is very simple, but effective at the same time. Pay particular attention to what kind of label is marked on the date of manufacture.
The digits should indicate the date of production, the time, the batch number. In this case, the information on the label should be exactly the same as the one on the canister.
In case you find a mismatch or do not have manufacturing on the label at all, then in your hands with a 99% probability fake.
Tip 3
Evaluate the oily properties of the product.
After the purchase, do not hurry to use the oil immediately after use - check it.
First, roll a little lubricant on your finger and appreciate its structure, oiliness.
Second, take a prepared transparent container, pour a little oil in it and put it in a dark place for at least 5-10 minutes. After that, carefully inspect the product. The oil should not have signs of flaking, its consistency should be homogeneous, no trace of siege, and dark particles should not be.
Tip 4
Pay attention to the color. Distinguish quality butter from forgery, Top 6 tips from an expert
Before pouring oil, evaluate not only the viscosity, but also the color.
Ideally, it should have an amber hue. If the color of the product is too dark, this may indicate a poor quality of the product.
Tip 5
We check the oil on the quality of additives.
For this experiment, we will need a pre-prepared sheet of paper (preferably A4). Take a little bit of motor oil to it. Keep the paper slightly under the slope so that the oil drips and managed to absorb a little into the fibrous structure. We distinguish high quality butter from forgery, Top 6 tips from an expert
If, after passing the lubricant on the white paper, there are dark spots, then you can be sure of the presence of poor-quality additives.
Tip 6
Pay attention to the place of sale of the product and its price.
If you are "lucky" to buy oil from a famous brand at a very low price - do not hurry to rejoice.
In most cases it is a fake. Try to buy oil exclusively in branded stores, the cost of which may be slightly more expensive, but you will be assured of quality and save on repairs.
Let's summarize
So, let's summarize the difference between fake motor oil from the original product:
first, there are too few additives in the forging, or they are absent altogether;
and secondly, the non-original product has a less viscous texture;
Thirdly, the dark orange color is an obvious evidence of a fake;
Fourth, the original does not freeze in its proper temperature regime, the fake can crystallize at a small minus temperature;
fifthly, counterfeit oil has a lower price than the original.
What can be concluded? Do not save on your car.
Choose Orlen Oil high-quality oils and your car will always work!

Every car owner knows well that car should be looked after, otherwise it will not be comfortable to ride on it, and soon it will be impossible. In order for the car to please the owner, he needs care, especially in the winter.
    Very often and not pleasant for car owners the phenomenon of snowfall. Depending on the frequency of snowfall, but at least once a week, you should check the windscreen tank to ensure that it does not end in at the most appropriate moment. The sink is definitely important, but if you do not have a wipers, then the effect will be zero. Check the work of the wipers before each departure, but do not just check whether they are moving or not, and check how they remove wind turbine from the windshield.
    Also, one of the problems in zimki is the smelting of glass, since a rinse gets some amount of snow that will melt, and as a result, glass can sweat. To prevent this, it is necessary to wash and dry the mats from time to time.
    Winter tires wear out much faster because of the soft tread, so at least once a month check the balancing of the wheels. It should not be forgotten about the timely pumping of tires, because because of temperature fluctuations pressure in tires can change, which does not very well affect the coupling properties.
    Water freezes at zero degrees, and in car washes the machine washed with water. It follows that the water is freezing there, where it has fallen, and since it will get into all openings on the sink, then after washing it is necessary to wipe the outer parts of the locks thoroughly and it will not be unnecessary to blow them with a jet of air, so that they do not freeze. Well, if you treat them special liquid, it will be even better.
    If you often have to make not large trips, it is likely that soon on the candles will form a scum, which worsens the engine start. There are two ways to get rid of the scum: with the twist of candles and without the dismantling of candles. As it is clear, it is clear when cleaning candles with disassembly candles are twisted and cleaned of scum. To get rid of the scum without dismantling the candles, you need to find the opportunity to ride in a straight line at high revs, then the fire burns. The best way for this method is to travel around the city.
    The battery needs to be recharged once and a half months, so that one morning it will not let you down, as the load on it increases in winter.
It is necessary to include the conditioner in the winter, because if the air conditioner is not included, the rubber seals may lose tightness. To prevent this, turn on the air conditioner several times a month for 10 to 15 minutes at the operating furnace.

    Any driver does not like the slippery road, but much more does not like the salt that the dirt is poured into, so that it does not turn into a skating rink. It's hard to say that it is not useful, and if the car is not washed, then the salt will start to roar. 'Carry parts and cause corrosion. When washing, do not forget about the bottom and wheel arches, which are most affected by salt. If possible, cover the machine with a layer of wax, it will not allow the salt to come into contact with the body of the vehicle.
Love your car!

    Today, we offer to talk about the actual, namely, the winter washbasin glass. It would seem that there is nothing simpler, but not all is so simple.
Let's try to figure out how to choose a winter washbasin glass and what should pay attention to first:
Look at the warehouse
The main ingredients used in the preparation of the washer are alcohol and water. When choosing a winter washbasin, you first need to look at the quality and type of alcohol used by the manufacturer, because it is the main ingredient.
 Methanol
The liquid containing methanol is considered to be the most affordable. This alcohol has an affordable price, but there is one "but", methanol refers to strong poisons that affect the nervous, as well as the vascular system. Think about your safety and always read the composition before you make a purchase. If the winter washbasin is odorless, then you should be careful, because the methyl alcohol is exactly the same.
Ethanol
Such alcohol is the most safe and relevant to date. The only minus is a high price, so the demand for such an option if it is, then it is extremely rare. In essence, it is familiar to all vodka, only odorless and mixed with water.
Couples flying in air when using a washer on ethanol will not affect the state of health of the driver and his crew. As with methanol, pure ethyl is practically odorless. Its use does not cause any discomfort.
Isopropyl
Winter washer washer based on isopropyl alcohol - one of the most advanced. Concentration of vapors is not able to harm the driver and his passengers.
The only disadvantage of the washer based on this alcohol is a specific odor that resembles acetone, so in expensive and high-quality fluids, special "mufflers" are used to get rid of it.
Bioethanol. This kind of liquid for a tank of a washer is the most expensive. This liquid contains bioethanol, roughly speaking it is the same food alcohol that is mixed with surfactants. There is no danger to this glass washer, but you will agree that it is easier to buy vodka for such money and to pour it into the windscreen tank, diluting lightly with a gel for washing the dishes, will be no worse, at least to -30 ° is not exactly freezing.
How not to buy a fake!
Good advice:
1. Do not run on the low cost of the washer.
2. Watch not only for what you buy, but also for where you buy. In a serious automobile shop with all certificates and licenses, you are unlikely to slip a fake.
3. When choosing a window wiper, pay attention to the label, it should be informative. The bottle should contain information about the manufacturer, the composition, and barcode. All inscriptions and markings must be clear.We hope this information will help you to choose a quality washer!
Take care of yourself and your car!

By pouring or changing the coolant in the car, what is the difference between the red, green and blue antifreeze, are at least hostile by all newcomers-car owners. And sometimes such questions are taken up by experienced drivers: yet the science of production is not in place, every day put on the shelves of stores something new. So the information checked over the years may well be outdated.
    Experimenting with their car is not enough - such experiments are often threatened by rapid, inexpensive and long-term repairs. Therefore, people start to read carefully in small letters on banks, carefully compare everything that manufacturers have managed to write on them - and they are often surprised, not knowing how much one liquid differs from the other.
    What is the difference between red, green and blue antifreeze, meanwhile, to understand quite easily. And this knowledge in the future will help to determine what exactly to pour into your car. Why do I need a color?
First, any coolant is colorless. It receives its color from dyes added at the final stages of production. And the bright color has 2 goals:
• warns that in the container - chemistry, not ordinary water;
• serves to make it easier to determine where the fluid flows from, if the cooling system has run out.
    The cooling effect does not affect the color of the antifreeze, they remain the ones that are planned at the factory. However, in recent times, color is still tied to certain parameters.
What is important to pay attention to?
The composition of all these liquids is approximately the same, they differ only in proportions and additives, individual in each manufacturer. But it should be remembered that the basis of antifreeze can be two types:
• silicate. Antifreeze, having it in composition, envelops the whole system, forming a thin film. Due to it, the circulation of heat decreases slightly, therefore, the efficiency of the cooling system decreases somewhat. Antifreezing silicates often have a blue or green color.
• carboxylate. Due to a radically different chemical origin, such a cooling fluid covers only places that are particularly prone to corrosion. Carboxylate serves longer, costs more and is usually painted in red.
    However, the color separation is not obligatory: the silicate may be red, carboxylate is blue. The only thing that is very important to watch is the chemical composition of the antifreeze. Mixing coolant of different origin is not possible.

Not every owner of such technology knows exactly how to check the level of oil in automatic transmission. In cars with automatic gearbox it is very important to control the level of the transmission fluid. The main rules of how to check the oil in a box of this type include the heated engine, as well as the position of the lever of the choice of range in the position "R" - "Parking".
    RVD in an automatic box is introduced in this position with long parking: it is then the movement of the car is blocked.
Necessary steps to check
In order to correctly check the level of oil, you must perform a number of actions:
1. Start the car and drive it at least 15 km in order to allow the oil to warm up to the working temperature - 66-93⁰С.
2. Having checked that the transmission fluid is sufficiently warmed up, it is necessary to stop the car, but it is not necessary to muffle the engine.
3. It is very important to place a car on an equal and horizontal surface, it is with this condition that the correct check will be obtained.
4. When the wheel is locked, the driver must consistently move and hold the gear selector in all positions for about 5 seconds. This is done so that the oil is evenly distributed over the hydraulic system.
5. Then the lever is finally moved to the "R" mode. In order to check the level of oil in the box, in some models the selector should be left in the "N" - "Neutral" position.
6. After that, the brake pedal must be released.
7. Under the hood is necessary to find a probe - a metal rod for measuring the level of oil in automatic transmission.
8. This metal rod should be gently wiped with dry matter and rotated to the point until it stops. After that you need to pull it out again.
9. On the probe there are usually a few inscriptions or inscriptions. It is possible that the labels will be in the form of "Full" and "Insert", then the acceptable level of oil in the automatic transmission should correspond to the drop of oil between the two symbols. If these labels are four, most likely, the upper two will be labeled "Hot", and the bottom two will be "Cold". The first ones are needed for checking in a hot box, and the second one is for cold. It is important to understand that it is not possible to make measurements correctly at a cold engine, and there will be no exact indications. To get the right result, you need to clearly understand how to check the oil level correctly, and for this purpose it is necessary to warm up the car and use the "Hot" mark on the measuring probe.
10. If it is necessary, it is not necessary to add more than 0.5 liters. Here's another question: how to check the level of oil after it is flooded? To do this, do not immediately measure the level, but you must wait at least 10 minutes before checking the oil in the ACPP again.
11. After making sure that the oil level indicator in the box is optimal, you should insert the probe into place so that its top part adheres tightly to the neck. This will save the AKPP from falling into it such foreign particles as dirt or water.

    Timely oil change in the engine of an excavator or other special equipment is an important factor in maintaining the performance of the power plant of the machine. Many operators of special equipment are rather negligent to replace the engine oil - forget the timing of its change or deliberately stretch the oil exploitation period, hoping for savings. Orlen Oil specialists are urging owners of special equipment to strictly monitor the periodicity of the replacement of motor oils, since this procedure substantially minimizes the risk of engine breakdown and ensures its efficient operation.
    In the replacement of engine oil two rules should be guided:
• Replacing the oil in the engine after working out 250 mph / h;
• Replacing engine oil after 35 hours of work changes.
    It should be noted that in conjunction with the change of oil should be changed and oil filter, because the oil and filter, which worked the above term significantly lose their performance and do not provide protection of the engine.

Transmyssyonnoe oil - is Special type of oil kotoroe Created for use in hydrousylytelyah rulevoho management, razdatochnыh boxes, gears, axles, mechanical and of automatic transmissions. The main thing Requirements for transmyssyonnomu oil zakljuchaetsja in abilities and made the uderzhyvat on the surface of parts transmyssyy maslyanuyu plёnku, kotoraja will be vыderzhyvat High load, sozdavaemыe in the process of work equipment.
Transmission oil marking
By marking the transmission oil it is possible to outrun mineral oil or synthetic, the correspondence of this oil with the quality standards, its SAE viscosity and many other characteristics. For example: ATF, Dextron and Dexron inform that this gear oil is intended for automatic gearboxes. This is due to the fact that neither automatic transmissions nor motor oil can be used for ACP. The oil marked ATF, which is decoded as Automatic Transmission Fluid, has a low viscosity and is applied exclusively in automatic gearboxes.
Below, in the article, we will consider the main indicators presented on the labels and accompanying documents when describing the properties of transmission oils.
Transmission oil API characteristics
The API parameter characterizes the performance characteristics of the transmission oil, such as the type of oil and its scope, is indicated by the letters "GL" with a number from one to five:
•    GL-1 - mineral oil without any additives affecting its properties;
•    GL-2 - oil in the composition of which there are fat components, such oil is used in industrial equipment and worm gear types;
•    GL-3 - oil has anti-drain additives, used in rear axles, mechanical and helical-conical gearboxes;
•    GL-4 - in addition to anti-closure, it also contains anti-wear and a number of other additives, used in spiral-conical and manual transmissions;
•    GL-5 - has a large set of additives among which are prototype and anti-perceptual, used in hypoid and a number of other transmissions.
Applicability of transmission oil
The use of this or that type of oil directly depends on the requirements of the manufacturer of special equipment. Therefore, we encourage you to adhere to the requirements specified in the instructions for use and not to use oil with a lower API level. Let's consider the general principles of application of gear oil depending on the indicator "GL".
In most cases, GL 3 oil is required for the transmission of trucks (without hypoid gears), but in some cases GL 5 oil is used for check points and bridges of some machines.
In passenger cars and hruzovыh ymeyuschyh reduction gears with hypoydnыm way stseplenyya shesterёnok prymenyayut oil GL 5.
This with topics such oil something pomozhet avoided zadirov appearance on zubyah gears.
In the transmission of passenger cars it is customary to use GL 4 oil for mechanical gearboxes and GL 5 oil for lubrication of driving bridges
SAE Transmission Oil Performance
The parameter SAE (viscosity class) characterizes changes in the viscosity of the oil at different temperatures and allows you to split the gear oils into three categories:
• Winter oil - SAE 75W-90 works great in the cold season (with the letter W in the marking);
• summer oil - SAE 140 and 250, used in warmer seasons or in countries with hot climates; in temperate climates, it is desirable to use oil of class 90 (W in the absence of marking);
• vsesezonnoe Oil - SAE 75W-90, 80W-90 and 85W-90 and acknowledged unyversalnыm Using podhodyt for year-round (and letnyaya zymnyaya labeling pyshetsya through defys).

1.    If the oil is dark, then it is necessary to change it, regardless of the mileage of the car. In fact, cleansing additives dissolve incomplete fuel combustion products, keeping the engine clean and protecting against contamination, so oil and darkens.
2.    It is possible to "on the eye" determine the period necessary for oil change. You should adhere to the periods recommended by the manufacturer of your car.
3.    It is necessary to adhere to one interval of replacement of motor oil for all types of transport. If, for cars of different brands, the dates of oil change can be approximately the same, then for commercial vehicles it is necessary to calculate periodicity taking into account the operating mode.
4.    It is not necessary to change the oil regularly. In fact, if you skip only one oil change, the deposition in the engine will be much more intense, which will result in deterioration of the lubricating motor and slow down the oil circulation, which can cause an increase in engine wear, as well as its possible breakage.
5.    The oil is more expensive, the better it is. Even the most expensive oil can be harmful if it does not meet the requirements of the manufacturer of the car, so the main criterion when selecting a motor oil should be not the price, but the instructions in the operating instructions.
6.    Synthetic and mineral oils have no significant differences. Mineral oils are rapidly oxidized and lose the main characteristics of operation. Synthetic oils are much more resistant to temperature conditions and maintain their operational properties for a much longer period, which is the main reason for their use in cars with increased interservice intervals.
7.    For cars of the early year of release only mineral oils are suitable. This mistake is associated with the fact that when synthetic oils only appeared on the market, when they were poured into a car, drivers spotted the oil under the car. The explanations of such cases are very simple: the oil, getting into the engine, begins to actively interact with it, effectively washing the contaminants accumulated everywhere, including the location between the shaft and the gland. As a result of deep cleansing, the gap between them increased, and the engine oil began to flow out.
8.    All season oil is worse than seasonal. There are no differences, especially since the largest manufacturers begin to offer on the market only all-season oils.
9.    It is impossible to test the quality of motor oil at home. There is a method that determines the suitability of the oil. Put a drop of oil on a newsprint, and it will blur, leaving the concentrated circles. If the drop steadily keeps its shape - then the oil is time to change.
10.    Diesel engines require more frequent oil change. The decisive factor is the quality of fuel for a diesel engine. If it complies with European standards, it will often not be necessary to replace oil.
