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.

Why it is necessary to change the lubricant in the engine of a car in a timely manner?
06.02.2018

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.

Rules for driving in winter
22.01.2018
Many drivers are afraid of winter, but during the cold season they move from a private car to public transport. But if you follow a few simple rules of winter exploitation, then you can rid yourself of the traditional dangers.

1. Speed.
Depending on the condition of the road surface and the presence of precipitation on the road, it is necessary to correctly assess the adhesion of the wheels of the car with the road and choose the appropriate speed. Experienced drivers recommend in the winter time to reduce the maximum speed by two to three times. In the winter, you should always remember that at any moment, ice or wet snow may appear under the wheels. Dialing and resetting speed is always necessary smoothly.

2. Parking.
Leaving the car in the parking lot in winter, first, do not worry about parking brakes (can be tightened by brake pads). You can also put small plastic objects under the windscreen wipers so that the wipers' brushes do not touch the glass and do not freeze. It is recommended that the gaskets and trunk lid be dried dry, and even better soaked with special tools so that there is no difficulty with their opening. If you have to park the car in the snow, you should always leave a place with a stock, in case of a hitch, do not move to other objects in the immediate vicinity.

3. Turns
Walking the turns on the winter road is one of the most dangerous events. Throw speed before turning, while the wheels are straight. In the turn, you have to move on one transmission, without discharging and adding speed. It is possible to increase the speed only at the exit of the turn, and very smoothly. In turn, you always have to be ready for skidding under the action of centrifugal force. The only way to reduce the centrifugal force is to lower the speed before turning.

4. Morning procedures.
If your car slept on the street and snow was at night, do not be too lazy to completely clean the car from rain.

5. Braking.
Before winter braking, you must carefully assess the condition of the road surface. Even a clean road may appear to be covered with ice. When leaving the parking lot, you must try to slow down the safe area and evaluate the condition of the road. In winter it is better to give preference to inhibition of the engine (gradual transition from higher gear to the lower one) before using the braking system of the car.

6. Snowfall and fog
Moving in a strong fog, snowfall or it is recommended to drop the speed significantly, be sure to turn on the dipped beam headlights and "anti-fog". Overtaking in fog is not desirable. If visibility has sharply deteriorated, you need to slowly slow down and, having come to the roadside, stop. If it is at night, it is recommended to place an emergency stop sign so that a parked car can be seen. The reason for stopping may be fog with visibility less than 50 meters.

7. The road is frozen
On a glacier road it is recommended to move very slowly. It is necessary to remember that on a slippery road the braking distance increases by 2-3 times and more. It is also necessary to avoid getting into even small ice tracks, the exit from which can end up loading and demolishing from the road. Short straight areas of the frozen road need to be overcome with the included gear and with no sudden turns of the steering wheel, using the maximum using the inertia of the car.

8. In the snow in the city.
Public utilities are not prepared in time for the winter, so you can get into the snow captivity in the metropolis. Most often in the snowfall it is faster to get from point A to point B on a certain public transport. If you decided to go by car, do not hurry to go. Keep distance!

9. Strong frost.
The main problem of a motorist in a severe frost is the start of the engine. You need to keep track of the weather forecasts. If weather forecasters promise -25 or below, it makes sense to remove the battery (if it's already old) and put it in a warm room to reduce the loss of its capacity. In the frost, a little warm up the engine and transmission, more to the automatic transmission (on the "machine" American machines even have a lamp-indicator of temperature and readiness for operation). Also, it will not be unnecessary and will prototype the salon, so that from the windows came inya. It should be remembered that it is not recommended to direct air ducts with hot air directly to the glass. Sharp temperature variations can lead to cracks (fortunately, this happens extremely rarely).


What to do if the car is pierced and lowered?
09.01.2018

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.


Merry Christmas!

We distinguish high-quality motor oil from forgery
27.12.2017

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!

How to care for a car in the winter
18.12.2017

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!

How to choose a winter washer!
11.12.2017

    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!

How to drive a car in ice and snow conditions
04.12.2017
Although ice is recommended to refuse the use of a car, many still have to test their driving skills on a slippery road.
Many drivers, unfortunately, do not understand the peculiarities of driving under such weather conditions. When the tires fall on ice, their grip on the road immediately drops 4-5 times, which in turn increases the braking distance of vehicles several times. And this means that a quick stop of a car is simply impossible. Such road conditions require drivers and pedestrians to pay more attention to their own safety measures and perfect compliance with the Road Traffic Rules.
In this regard, we want to give some recommendations on driving under ice conditions and snow rolled up:
    
On a slippery road, do not slow down dramatically, it's not only useless, but dangerous. Sharp braking leads to locking the wheels and increasing the braking distance, and more often than not, to the loss of controllability. When passing a dangerous area, try to keep the speed constant, use the accelerator pedal very carefully, smoothly and gently. Do not make sharp movements with a wheel.
    
When driving on bridges and overpasses, be especially careful. The ice layer on these areas of the road appears earlier than everywhere, and disappears later. In these areas, avoid sharp movements with a steering wheel, gas, and brakes.
    
On a slippery road it is better to avoid sharp maneuvers and overtaking. When driving on a climb, choose such a transmission so that you do not have to switch until the complete lifting is complete. During descent, do not press the clutch pedal, slowly brak when driving the car.
    
Do not forget about pedestrians. People crossing the road can slip and fall. So try not to scare the pedestrian with sharp audible and light signals. Get closer to pedestrian crossings and locations for children's facilities to minimize their speed.
    
Under snow conditions, it is necessary to move with the included dipped beam headlamps (or fog lamps), to adhere to high-speed mode, parking rules (in order not to interfere with the work of snow-removal equipment), with special care to move on bridges and overpasses, to refuse from risky maneuvers, which in unfavorable weather conditions can lead to emergency situations. If you need to stop, slow down the speed. And when stopping, turn on emergency light signaling.
    
In case of important and urgent needs driving you on the road, follow all the requirements of the rules of the road, be careful and careful, especially during the dark.


What will happen if you pour oil in the engine?
29.11.2017
All motorists even before receiving their cherished driver's license teach that leaving the parking lot at the level of motor oil below the minimum mark of the probe is prohibited. First, you should add the liquid engine to the required amount to ensure sufficient lubrication of the components of the engine and to protect it and your wallet from expensive repair, and after just moving, understand the causes of leakage and eliminate them.
    
At the same time, the danger of oil overflow in the engine in the driving schools is rarely spoken, and outside of such information rarely comes to our ears, so the "people" has developed a stereotype that ignoring the mark "MAX" does not threaten any serious car. But is it really? Let's understand.
    
So what will happen if you pour oil in the engine?
    
In fact, the excessive presence of oil in the lubricating engine system is as harmful as insufficiency, as it can provoke the following problems.
Increased fuel consumption
    
The increased wear of the motor is due to the fact that the excess fluid in the engine adds the level of resistance of the piston stroke in the engine cylinders. Consequently, the movement of the kneeling becomes complicated, and the torque from it passes to the leading axis of the car. As a result, the processing and additional wear of the motor through overcoming the artificially created resistance in addition to the greater pressure of the driver on the gas pedal.
Increased amount of carbon in a car engine.
This is both an engine failure and internal components of the combustion chamber.
Rapid pollution of the muffler.
It reduces the possible period of its operation. Rapid and sharp increase in emissions into the environment of exhaust gases, deterioration of their quality (increased toxicity and poisoning). Hence the advice: if there is a need to warm a car with a deliberately high level of engine oil in the engine in a closed room (garage), you must try to provide yourself and your relatives with maximum safety, by preventing their long stay in one room with a warming vehicle.
Increased fluid flow
Always leads to additional costs.
Failure of eyelets.
They can be simply extruded under the pressure of too much engine oil pressure.
Oiling spark plugs and their premature wear.
The overflow of oils in the engine almost always leads to the masking of spark plugs because of their constant presence in the liquid.


Than dangerous frosts for cars!
27.11.2017
On the eve of winter it is useful to recall that under the influence of low temperatures many materials and substances change their properties. How frost can affect the work of the knots and mechanisms of the car will be understood in this article.
    The most dangerous for cars is the frozen and viscous fluid in hydraulic systems. If water in ice is converted into ice, then even frost-resistant solutions become viscous, losing their basic properties and thereby causing irreparable harm to the most important mechanisms. This applies to the oil in the engine and transmission box, brake and coolant in the corresponding systems, the lubrication of suspension hinges, the contents of the shock absorbers and the hydraulic booster, the electrolyte in the battery.
    In order not to expose a car to a serious test it is better to adhere to several rules. Even if the engine at idle turns into the working temperature in a high frost, this does not mean that all other hydraulic systems have been throttled to the end. Therefore, moving from place to place and breaking the first kilometers of the way into the cold crash, move slowly, no more than 40 km per hour, avoid uneven road cover, possibly minimizing the load on the suspension as much as possible. Be prepared for the inadequate operation of the braking system due to the possible icing of the brake discs and pads. Treat the pedals gently and tenderly.
As practice shows, usually all systems start to work in the usual mode after 4-5 kilometers of the way. In addition, be prepared to suddenly show the vibrations on the steering wheel due to ice and snow on the wheels at a speed of 60 km / h. In this case, you have to drive to the sink and wash the wheels with a jet of water under the temple.
