Among all the fluids used in the car, the brake fluid is most important. This
is one of the most important elements of the car: whatever would be a
perfect model, but without a good brake fluid it is impossible to stop
quickly. From
the correct choice and from the characteristics of the brake fluid will
depend on the effectiveness of braking, and hence the length of the
braking distance of your car. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about
what happens to the brake fluid, its service life, and the specifics of
the replacement.
There are two main requirements that are required from the brake fluid:
• At working moments, the liquid should remain in its physical state,
it should not boil, turning into a pair, and should not freeze;
• Your performance brake fluid should be stored for a long time.
Types of brake fluid
For today there are three types of brake fluid: DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5.
DOT 3 automotive fluid is designed for cars with a combined brake system, ie rear drum brakes, front-wheel drive. Moreover, it is intended for small-sized cars, low-speed, which are not capable of developing high speeds. To date, this brake fluid is already outdated.
The DOT 4 is designed for most modern cars equipped with a disc brake system on all wheels. Liquid is used on many high-speed cars, which makes it the most demanded in the market of sales.
In the range of LLC LOKO the brake fluid DOT 4 is presented.
General characteristics
ORLEN OIL brake fluids are based on alkyl esters, ethylene glycols,
borate esters, polypropylene glycols and a functional additive package.
Application
Designed for hydraulic brakes and couplings for cars and trucks,
buses, trailers, motorcycles, battery trucks, etc., in accordance with
the instructions for the operation of vehicles.
DOT-4 is a new brake fluid with very good operational properties, characterized by a boiling point above 230 ° C; It is especially recommended for use in vehicles with medium loaded brake and coupling systems.
Instructions:
• replacement of liquid every two years or after a run of 40 thousand km,
• protect the liquid from moisture, keep it in the original hermetically sealed container,
• The brake system must be filled in according to the vehicle maintenance and conservation instructions,
• In the event of brake fluid entering the lacquer coating of the vehicle, immediately flush it with water.
The
DOT 5 brake fluid is the most rare, since it is designed for cars that
are prone to frequent overclocking and prolonged braking. In these regimes, special requirements for brake fluids are introduced, which corresponds to the DOT class 5.
How often do I change the brake fluid?
Since
over the years in the brake system of the car condensation is formed
and, as a result, the brake fluid is mixed with water and gradually
loses its properties, it is recommended to replace it at least once
every 2 years. The brake fluid suitable for operation must be homogeneous in composition, not to be precipitated, to be amber. It
is necessary to completely change the brake fluid, as the filling to
the required level does not restore the working properties of the brake
fluid.
Dear our customers, today we want to tell you in more detail how to choose the right hydraulic oil. First of all, this oil is an indispensable component of any hydraulic systems (hydraulic actuators, control systems and so on. P.). The main task - the transfer of mechanical energy during operation.
In addition, high-quality oils must provide the following properties:
-Stability to oxidation under the influence of temperatures;
-Not excess foam formation;
-Filtration to maintain cleanliness of the system;
-Stainability to corrosion;
- Demultizing properties for water separation;
-Definition of the operating temperature range of the system;
- Improvement of output characteristics of the hydraulic drive;
-Protection against wear at high loads.
In structure, modern hydraulic oils are:
-Nafta;
-Double glycols;
-Synthetic
Classification of hydraulic oils (by ISO):
• H (based on non-fused mineral refined oils);
• HL (as H, only with anticorrosive and antioxidant additives);
• HLP (as HL, only with anti-extinguishing EP additives);
• HLPD (as HLP, only with detergent-dispersing additives);
• HVLP (as HLP, but with a high viscosity index (VI), all-season);
• HVLPD (as HVLP, only with detergent dispersants).
Each has its own advantages and uses, so that there is no single universal solution. All of them are selected for specific tasks, operating conditions and type of equipment. A pick up, receive high-quality advice and buy hydraulic oils you can with us in of "Loco."
Consider the most popular hydraulic oil from our range:
Hydrol L-HM / HLP 46
General characteristics
Hydraulic oil Hydrol L-HM / HLP 46 for hydrostatic hydraulic systems
are based on high quality mineral base oils and complex
oblahorodzhuvalnyh additives that increase the options against wear,
oxidation and corrosion resistance.
Provides:
- Extension of service life
- Reduced wear of the surface of the friction elements in hydraulic pump systems,
Application
Hydraulic
oil Hydrol® L-HM / HLP intended mainly for use in power transmission
and drive and hydraulic control of high load, ie, hydraulic, mechanical
gears, transmission regulation and management, and other similar
equipment that works In difficult conditions at elevated temperature and humidity of the environment.
Importantly!!!!
To
minimize breakdowns hydraulic systems associated with getting into the
hydraulic oil, foreign particles recommend to fill hydraulic system by
pumping a special pump, instead of just pouring. Only
this can minimize the likelihood of dirt or garbage coming from the
surface of the filler hole in the middle of the system. If you have already decided to simply pour, it is recommended to use a filter that "catch" foreign particles.

At the height of the motorcycle and owners of two-wheelers, they ask themselves the eternal questions: how to choose oil for a motorcycle or a scooter.
Qualitative oil must possess such properties that allow to perform all its functions. The main, but not the only function of the oil in the engine is its lubricating properties. Dozens of co-operating metal parts of the engine must be separated by a layer of oil of appropriate thickness and strength. The insufficiency of the olive layer leads to the direct contact of metal - metal, and as a result - to excessive wear of the engine. In modern engine designs, manufacturers tend to reduce frictional forces so as to achieve maximum performance and extend the life of the engine. The main role in this case is motor oil.
Another important function of the oil in the engine is its work as an element that facilitates the removal of heat, which occurs not only as a result of the process of combustion of fuel, but also during friction. Studies show that 5-10% of the heat generated by the engine is formed by friction nodes. Therefore, on most sports, and not only, motorcycles additionally install an oil cooler.
In addition to the above functions, it should be noted that the oil as a result of work in the engine subject to the process of oxidation, aging and mechanical destruction. The products of oxidation and mechanical destruction of oils form sludges, coke and varnishes that can change the physical and chemical properties of oils. In this regard, motor oil must be characterized by stability to oxidation, to withstand the formation of sludge, to keep the engine clean, and also to protect against corrosion. During the engine operation, combustion products and water come into the oil, and in this regard it should also be characterized by stability to foaming.
The surfaces of the walls of the cylinders and piston rings are never perfectly smooth. As a result, there are difficulties with the corresponding pressure in the combustion chamber, as well as the exhaust fumes in the engine crankcase. Here an engine oil serves as an auxiliary part, which serves as an additional seal. The layer of oil on the surface of the cylinder walls, in addition to reducing friction, densifies the combustion chamber.
It should be borne in mind that the oils used in motorcycle engines, due to higher speeds than those in the engines of the automobile, should be different from high-temperature stability, that is, they should not change their parameters at high revs and temperatures.
A preliminary market review indicates that the supply of high-quality olive oil is not so great. From our point of view, the most successful bid is formed by Orlen Oil.
Orlen Oil, a leading manufacturer of lubricants for automotive and other industries, offers its customers a high-quality PLATINUM Rider line designed to ensure the smooth running of your motorcycle engine.
The PLATINUM Rider line includes 8 products: 6 engine oils for four-stroke engines and 2 oils for two-stroke engines.

Cars require careful care enough to ride without problems.
To save you a considerable amount, as preventive measures - it is
always cheaper than repair, you should periodically check the 5 basic
liquids.
Engine oil
The first thing you probably learned to do in the car - is to check the oil level in the engine. In most cars you want to open and lift the hood and find the oil dipstick, pull it up and wipe. Repeat the process again with the probe and get the actual level of oil in the engine. If everything is normal - continue safely on his way. If the level is low - you still pour. Depending on the age of the car may be the need to add oil frequently. If you do it too often, we would advise to turn to a professional mechanic for advice.
Do you know how to check the oil level in the engine, and what do we need this test? First of all, you must know that the engine oil check is performed to
determine the possibility of further operation and assess the level of
need to control the normal operation of the engine.
The oil is used to lubricate rotating and working parts and assemblies
in the engine and to reduce friction, which leads to strong
znoshuvanosti parts of the motor.
The oil poor, clogged and developed, can bring down your vehicle engine.
Getting tested
The test should be performed on a cold engine. This car should be on a flat horizontal surface. The thought of engine oil is made with a special maslomerom which is a metal probe with marks. This probe is placed at the bottom of the engine.
To
test must pull out the dipstick, wipe it dry with a clean cloth, then
insert it into the seat, then again need to pull out and see which of
the marks is oil. It should be midway between the minimum and maximum marks levels.
If oil is above the maximum level, it means that it is the engine transfused (in excess). This should be avoided because excess oil will get into the crankcase
ventilation system that can lead to getting straight to the cylinders.
The minimum oil level is also unwanted, and ride to the lack of oil in the motor car generally contraindicated. A small amount of oil in the engine causes the surface of the
cylinder, friction, components and virtually neck crank will be deprived
of oil, which quickly lead to engine failure and repair it - it's very
expensive.
Fix the lack of oil in the engine can be very simple. To this end, the neck should add a little oil, then wait until it is drained, and control its level probe. If necessary, need to repeat dolyvku. Typically, the number pour oil can reach up to half a liter. The oil dipstick has to be visually clean and clear, free of foreign particles and debris.
Fill the engine should only manufacturer recommended oil type. If necessary, replace the oil in the engine, the old should be drained and then make a new fill.
