Oils and chemistry

Any mechanism or assembly in which there are parts in contact with each other requires the use of a lubricant. If we consider such a power unit as an engine, then motor oil is used to lubricate the parts there. However, it performs not only the function of lubrication, but also removes heat from elements that are exposed to excessive heating. Despite the fact that there is a lot in common between internal combustion engines used in cars and motorcycle engines, there are nevertheless differences due to which technologists are forced to give lubricants different technical characteristics and, accordingly, different properties. Differences in the properties of lubricants are particularly noticeable when it comes to two-stroke engines and four-stroke engines.

Application area

The above indicates only that when choosing motor oil in Motorcycle quarter it is necessary to take into account the recommendations of the manufacturer, since only in this case it will be possible to count on the reliable operation of the engine, using all the resources allocated to it. For each type or type of engine, developers and manufacturers offer motor oils with a set of unique characteristics adapted specifically to this model. Specifically, in motor transport equipment, lubricants are used not only for the successful operation of the power plant, but also such components as the transmission, front fork, shock absorbers. A motorcycle chain cannot do without lubrication. In other words, everything that is exposed to friction and, accordingly, heating, will work only if there is a lubricant, which must be applied regularly and in a timely manner.

Types of motor oils

All engine oils are made on a different basis. Depending on what is used for the production of motor oil, such types as mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic oil are distinguished. Of them, the cheapest is mineral oil, which is obtained with the help of rough refining of petroleum products. However, its use in modern, high-speed engines that require oils with special technical characteristics is unacceptable. More thorough cleaning of petroleum materials makes it possible to produce motor oils belonging to the class of semi-synthetics and synthetics. This is how it is obtained as a result of adding special synthetic additives to it. Of course, the production of the chemical industry is not limited to the production of motor oils. Readers of motorized transport equipment can find thousands of product names in the trade network that will make the operation of the equipment more comfortable.
