Industrial and Commercial Lubricant Oils in UAE

 Earlier we talked about how automotive lubricant oils thicken when it’s cold. Not only does thick, cold oil affect wear protection, it wastes energy. This, in turn, requires the engine to use more fuel. Because synthetic oils flow readily at start-up, synthetic oils improve fuel consumption.

It’s up to the industrial and commercial lubricant oil in UAE to prevent that from happening. And commercial oils simply aren’t cut out for the task. They contain unstable, light molecules that vaporize when exposed to extreme heat. Synthetic oils, in contrast, offer improved extreme-heat resistance, thus they’re the better choice for today’s hot-running engines. In fact, turbo protection is so important that General Motors requires oils to pass its Turbo Coking Test to be recommended for its GM dexos1 Gen 2 motor oil specification.

In addition, modern low-viscosity gasoline engine oils, like 0W-20, flow more readily than the 10W-40 oils vehicles once used. This, in turn, boosts fuel economy. But formulators must use synthetic base oils to manufacture low-viscosity oils that provide good protection in all areas important to your engine.

If your engine uses oil due to mechanical defects, visit a garage and have them fixed. However, car engine oil volatility can also contribute to oil consumption. Volatility defines a lubricant’s evaporative loss. The more volatile the lubricant, the higher the tendency to evaporate and exit the engine through the crankcase ventilation system. The more it evaporates, the less oil is left to protect equipment and the more often a user must replace the lost oil.

The small, light molecules in biggest lubricant oils evaporate at relatively low temperatures. These light molecules require less energy in the form of heat than heavier molecules to be lifted out of the solution and into the air.

We recommend that you follow the oil-change guidelines given in your owner’s manual or on the car engine oil label. Some synthetics are recommended for extended drain intervals beyond what’s given in the owner’s manual. Extending drain intervals in this way allows you to safely change oil less often while spending less on oil over the long haul, if you choose. Technolube (mentioned above) is one example. Its diesel counterpart, Technolube Diesel Engine Oil, is another. In certain applications, it’s recommended for up to 3X the original equipment manufacturer drain interval, not to exceed 60,000 miles/600 hours of service or one year, whichever comes first.

While technolube oils in general outperform technolube oil, some synthetic oils are better than others. That means some will last longer than others. Most synthetic oils can last 8,000-10,000 miles. But some synthetic oils today are recommended for drain intervals up to 25,000 miles or one year. Technolube Motor Oil, for example, is guaranteed for 25,000 miles/one year/700 hours, whichever comes first, in normal service. Changing oil once a year reduces waste oil and packaging considerably. Plus, it reduces time and money spent changing oil.
