Price tags for motor oils are inexorably climbing. And many decent brands have already left Russia. Therefore, drivers had an acute question: how to replace the lubricant of
“Firm” is natural in car dealerships. Mobil, Castrol and Shell actively import through parallel imports. However, the prices bite. For a 4-liter jar, they already ask for more than 6,000 rubles. Therefore, car owners are actively switching to cheaper lubricants. However, this is associated with certain difficulties and even risks. After all, the “motor” can get more waste or maslozhor, which will lead to high costs in the future.
To begin with, we note that it would be nice to buy the so-called flushing oil. The fact is that when the mining is drained, 2-3% of the old “slurry” remains inside. It is desirable to bring it out. Therefore, “flushing” is necessary. It cleans the “inside” more thoroughly than the popular “five minutes” and is not as aggressive to gaskets and seals.
Then we carefully study the characteristics of the products that we are going to buy. Note the viscosity grade. For example, pouring 5W40 instead of 5W30 into a used car can increase waste lubricant consumption. But the lubricant will reach operating temperature a little faster. As a result, the driver will be forced to regularly check the level and replace the spark plugs a little earlier than the expiration date. So special economists should not experiment.
Also look at the different tolerances listed on the label. It is desirable that they are the same as on the product you refuse. You cannot go lower, otherwise the engine power will gradually decrease. By the way, now even Russian brands have such inscriptions as MB 229.5 or VW507. So they were approved by Volkswagen and Mercedes.
Also note the release date. Recall that the shelf life of the lubricant, regardless of the type of container (canister or barrel), is 5 years. If there are more, lab analysis is needed to confirm quality. Otherwise, by pouring the contents into the engine, you can overheat, as the additives will lose their protective properties over time.
