Oil manufacturers not just to one brand

Manufacturers also heavily invaded motor oil market. The title of course the official oil that is recommended for their motorcycle brand.

Many outstanding questions, whether the lubricant that can only be used for the brand that's it? Does the motor can be used also by other brands? Roughly that's a question that goes into the editorial.

Oli is the generic product, so that actually could be used by any brand motor.

Further that the generic components such as tires, batteries, oil and all that is universal to all motor.

any oil that has a DNA or base oil and additives are different. If oil manufacturers have made it all fit with the condition of the engine the same manufacturer. But, it is possible that the oil was also delicious and suitable for other machines.

In choosing the most important oil is to follow the specifications in the manual book. If the book says or advisable to use 20W-40, yes please use it.

More emphasis needs esuai yangs spec engine oil as recommended in the manual. Regarding the lubricant brand, is free because the grounds were generic products. But other than viscosity, of API Service should also be noted. Like the SG or SJ. That level of quality of oil within their year of manufacture.

Protect Car Paint

Are you confused how to maintain the brightness of the color of your car's paint? As we've discussed in our previous articles on caring for car paint, paint the crown of all vehicles. No matter how expensive your car but if the paint faded, many scratches and cracks then your car look ugly.

There are many causes of degradation of car paint and one way to defend it is to use wax. Wax provides a protective layer which is very useful to paint the car. In addition to protecting from UV rays, a layer of wax also protects the paint from scratches, oxidan in the air, scratches and dirt.

The team did a demonstration of the benefits of SO wax layer on the surface of automobile paint. This test is performed with the following conditions:

• Wax was used Jet Wax Kit Gold Series.
• Wax is applied only on half of the hood of the car and half did not.
• Both parts are applied and which are not equally doused with water.
• First we wash the car bonnet with an air shampoo pH balanced.
• Dry bonnet (we just drain that will be applied with wax.
• Then we apply a Jet Kit Wax on the hood to the left.
• Wax is sprayed at a distance of 20-30 cm from the surface of the hood.
• Use a soft dry cloth for rubbing wax with a small circular motion. We use a cloth made of micro fiber to avoid the possibility of scratches.
• Rubbing cloth evenly on all parts to 'foam' wax look no further.
• After all the 'foam' wax look no further we spray both the hood with flowing water.
• We notice how the water is sprayed to flow down both sides.
• We note the form of granules remaining water is not flowing down on both sides.
• We notice how the remaining water droplets attached on both sides are different and easy to eliminate them.

Estrangement Chain

Working set of very heavy gear chain. Therefore, the components comprising the composition of the chain is most easily creep mainly in length.

When where the dimension changes, the effect is way too noisy motors less comfortable in the ear. Worst of all, the chain could be broken in the middle of the road when out of the rail.

That's because the estrangement chains already passed the limit, namely 25 mm Ayau 2.5 cm. Fair asked if the chain is reset.

Let the lifetime much longer and not noisy, good checks done every week. Moreover, if subscriptions crossed paths frizzy.

If it's very loose, the chain gear immediately reset. But, let me maximum results, it's good to follow the following pentujuk. And example would be practiced in Honda Supra Fit.

First chain first cleaned of dust or oil attached. How special fluid or washed can also use diesel fuel. Once clean, go check the condition of Ranti and gear. Have you worn out and asked to be replaced soon.

Then the chain tension is reset when just stay loose. The technique is first loosen the axle nut bolt retaining bar panel below the rear brake. That let the rear wheels easily slide back and forth.

Next set the chain rengang distance of about 15 ~ 25 mm. The trick in the earring nut setter chain on the tip of the swing arm is set distance. As a rule, between the axles and swing arm on either side there is a line balancer.

If the left side axle wear line-3, as well as the right side axles. If it fits, wear new measure pengaris by first pressing down the chain to the top.

Mineral Oil vs Synthetic Oil

Engine oil has a basic function as a lubricant to reduce friction or wear and tear of a number of components inside the machine that works and move when the vehicle engine life. Lubricants that work effectively according to its function will extend the life of the engine so that more durable lifespan.

Engine oil is also not only functions as a lubricant, but also as a coolant, anti-rust, closing the gap machines and cleaning machines. A good lubricant should be able to make a lighter engine performance and served as a protective metal component of friction due to constant friction in a long time.

From the basic ingredients, a common engine oil circulating divided 2 types, namely:

•     Mineral Oil (Base Oil): Retrieved from petroleum mining product which is processed into oil and added material to increase the quality of lubricant additives for the better.
•     Synthetic Oil (Synthetic Oil): Synthetic oil usually consists of Polyalphaolifins that comes from the cleanest part of the separation of mineral oil, namely gas. The compound is then mixed with mineral oil. This is why synthetic oil can be mixed with mineral oil and vice versa. Base is the most stable. Basically, synthetic oil is designed to produce a more effective performance than the mineral oil.

Synthetic Oil vs. Mineral Oil
Advantages compared to mineral oil synthetic oil:

•     More stable at high temperatures (less volatile) so that low levels of evaporation
•     Control / prevent the occurrence of carbon deposits on engine
•     Circulation more smoothly in the morning starting time / cold weather
•     Lubricate and coat the metal better and prevents friction between the metal which resulted in engine failure
•     Resistant to change / oxidation and therefore more durable so it is more economical and efficient
•     Reduce the occurrence of friction, increase power and cooler engine
•     Containing detergents are better for membersihkanmesin of mineral kerakOli usually made from purified while the synthetic oil from the chemical mixture.

Materials usually PAO synthetic oil (PolyAlphaOlefin). Oli synthetic is usually recommended for the latest hi-tech machinery (turbo, supercharger, DOHC, etc.) are also in need of better lubrication (racing) where the gap between parts / metal smaller / narrower / precision where only synthetic oil that can coat and flowing perfectly.

So for engines manufactured in 2001 or older are advised to use good synthetic oil-type semi-synthetic (mixed with mineral oil) or fully-synthetic.

Mineral Oil price comparison - Semi Synthetic - Full Synthetic
Fully synthetic oil price could 2X - 4X more expensive than the semi-synthetic, whereas
Semi-synthetic oil price can be 2X more expensive than mineral oil.
