The role of engine lubricant

Your engine is a complex mechanism, with hundreds of parts in movement, functioning in a wide range of temperatures and stress values. The oil you choose must cope with such harsh operating conditions, in order to protect your engine against wear and tear, corrosion and accumulations of dirt and residues.

Mobil oils have all these advantages: they prevent the wear and tear of valves and the effects of rust, keep the inlets clean, prevent the accumulation of residues on the compressors, prevent the wear and tear of the pillows and bore holes.

Advantages of synthetic oils

Both mineral, traditional oils, and the synthetic oils are obtained from crude oil. The major difference resides in the fact that the synthetic oils are obtained by more advanced refining processes and have a greater purity and a higher quality than mineral, usual oils. These do not only eliminate more impurities from the oil, but also allow the individual molecules from the oil to cope with the necessities of modern engines. These standard molecules offer higher levels of protection and efficiency.

Synthetic engine oils offer a wide range of benefits, keeping the engine running at its best for years. They were developed especially in order to cope with extreme working conditions for modern engines. These are much more fluid than traditional mineral oils. The most important benefit is that they significantly increase the protection of the engine. When an engine starts functioning for the first time, it takes some time for a mineral oil to circulate, the rubbing between the oil-free parts causing wear and tear. Much on the contrary, a synthetic lubricant begins running immediately, protecting each mobile part from the engine.

The synthetic oils may also significantly improve the savings on oil. During the normal warming of an engine, mineral oils are denser and move with more difficulty, the engine being drier and less efficient. Since synthetic oils act more rapidly, the engine reaches its optimum operating efficiency quicker.

A second advantage of synthetic oils is that they are cleaner and more ecological, compared to mineral oils, - they help to reduce the emissions of the engine. Conventional mineral oils also contain larger quantities of impurities, like sulphur, reactive and unstable hydrocarbons, as well as other contaminants which cannot be entirely removed by conventional refining of oil.

How do filters work for particles of Diesel fuel

The same principle applies for the filter systems for micro-particles existing in Diesel fuel: they collect the particles of soot and burn them within electronically controlled intervals. In order to be sure that the filters for micro-particles operate very efficiently, it is important that the deposits of ash in the oil should remain at a minimum level.

The key benefit of the new filters for micro-particles existing in Diesel fuel for covering the catalyst is that it does not necessitate the periodical burning of soot, helped by additives, so that it does not create ashes.

The technology Mobil 1 ESP Formula offers its clients more features, which also means more ecological benefits. The low levels of chlorine help increasing the ecological features of oil, when in use. Moreover, the ESP technology helps reduce the maintenance costs. It was especially conceived to extend the life cycle and to maintain the efficiency of the filters for micro-particles existing in Diesel fuel, together with the improved savings on fuel.

Mobil 1 ESP Formula guarantees the running of the Diesel engine with filter of particles under the best conditions, for a long time.

The classification of ISO viscosity

The levels of ISO viscosity are an international system approved by the International Organization for Standards for the classification of lubricants according to their viscosity. Each Each degree of ISO viscosity corresponds to an average value from the range of viscosity, expresses in hundredths of Stokes (cSt or mm²/s) at 40°C.
