Do not forget our team of experts check the engine oil is still not over time and also whether there is still enough oil in the engine. And do not forget to check whether the quality of the oil even before the time period whether still good or not

Starting from each manufacturer gives the engine oil specification, starting when the oil change time, the type of oil, and the viscosity of the oil. If we change the engine oil carelessly regardless of the recommendation of the manufacturer then it is feared will damage the engine components of your car. Make sure the minimum oil specification is in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation standard. why I call it minimal. Because when changing the oil with specifications above the manufacturer’s standards even better. For making the performance of the car to be better performance.

But remember that more should be considered is the viscosity of your engine oil, because if the manufacturer gives recommendations for example is 10:40 w let us not change to 5: 40w. The reason why? because when changing the car engine oil becomes more dilute feared even damaging the engine components of your car. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer by changing the engine engine oil according to the rules of the manufacturer.

In the world, for oil there are 2 international codes that SAE stands for (Sociaty of Automotive Engineers) which indicate the viscosity of the oil product and API stands for (American Petrolium Institute) which indicate the usefulness of the oil product.

The index’s viscosity index is usually followed by the letter W (winter or winter) which means for use up to – 20 ° Celsius. For example, SAE 5 W, SAE 10 W, or SAE 20 W, SAE 40W. If the small SAE index means the oil gets thinner. That is, the possibility of oil to harden at low temperatures is getting smaller, this is useful when the car engine is turned on at cold temperatures. But kalo make tropical country like in indonesia not needed engine oil which dilute because do not have winter climate. The oil used for your car is looking for multigrade, meaning the viscosity adjusts over a certain temperature range. Oil is not only alert for winter but must be optimal when the engine performance goes.

For API there are 2 differences that is special gasoline engine oil is marked with the letter “S” while the special oil diesel engine is marked with the letter “C”. This means that when the larger alphabetically the second letter then the machine is used to work harder.

The conclusion is the higher the second letter the better for your car engine because the engine components coated oil is increasingly protected from friction. eg your car’s specification is SAE 10 – 40W and API service SL. Then when purchasing at the oil store there is a product with SAE specification 10 – 40 W API SM, then the oil product is better than the manufacturer’s recommendation. Do not mark the brand but the standard is the specification.

Currently, there are many oil manufacturers that make double code means it can be used for gasoline engine and also diesel engine. different gasoline and diesel engines work system, hence lubrication also need special oil. Gasoline and diesel engines differ in the way they work, one of the difference is that the gasoline engine uses spark plugs for the pembakaranya, while the diesel engine does not require spark plug for burning. For lubrication also need special oil. Along with the development era, more and more manufacturers issued a type of oil that can be used diesel and gasoline engines. such as SH / CD, SL / CF, or CF / SJ, it can be used for gasoline and diesel engines.

For engine oil change can be done through the engine oil meter by using a special vacuum pump to drain the oil as shown below:

Or you can drain the oil from the bottom in the engine oil storage tank, as below:

But not all cars can be done in all these ways. The point is that there can be both ways or can only drained the oil only through the tank under the engine oil storage. Do not occasionally use the compressor to push the exit oil out because it is feared will bring the grains of water and dust granules into the engine so that the car will damage the engine components of the car. Better when drained from the bottom tank then left for a while until the oil droplets are no longer visible.

Each oil change is required to replace the oil filter, which is intended for oil intake into the engine of the car not hampered by the former residue attached to the engine oil filter. For purchasing engine oil filters it is advisable to use original spare parts to avoid damage due to residues that are not filtered perfectly by the oil filter. But if you want to change the oil filter is not original you should look for brands that are well-known and proven not to damage the car engine and filter out the residue properly.

Ensure that the oil is adjusted to the amount of oil that the manufacturer has specified. Notice in the manual of the user manual, if the oil fill without filter oil change should be how many liters. And if the replenishment of oil including changing the filter oil should be how many liters. After charging the oil into the machine make sure the oil is full. By pulling a yellow colored lever that indicates whether the oil is full or not. In the oil duty will look the letter E which means empty and the letter F means already Full or full. sample image of oil dosage in car engine:
