Benefits of Synthetic

Synthetic blend oil offers a number of benefits that can help extend the life of an engine and improve performance. To understand more about motor oil, firstly we have to know about the original oil which the crude oil. Crude oil is made up of a complex mixture of molecules that form chains and rings of different sizes and shapes. Long chains of carbon atoms produce a thick, viscous fluid that flows slowly. Shorter chains produce fluid that flows more readily. During oil refining, crude oil is separated into various fractions. These materials become the basis for lubricating oils and fuels. The Shorter chains and ring, the smoother the flows, compounds of carbon can be refined to produce motor oil for cars and trucks. To meet today's vehicle specifications Torero lubricant uses high quality proper formulated additives and base oil in order to tailor the viscosity grade to its specific application. Torero lubricants offers a wide range of synthetic oil, from SAE5W20 to SAE10W60, that can help meet the critical or severe needs of your vehicle.

Start-up Protection

Torero Full Synthetic oil flows more quickly and is not affected by the cold weather. While synthetic-blend motor oil does not protect as well at start-up as synthetic oil, it does provide a higher degree of protection than conventional oil.

Wear Protection

Full Synthetic oil offer improved wear protection over conventional oil. This is because synthetic oil is better able to withstand higher temperatures, being more resistant to breakdown and flowing well at a variety of temperatures. The presence of the synthetic oil in the blend provides a higher level of protection.

Oil Life

Full Synthetic oil offer a longer period of protection than conventional oil. While conventional motor oil is normally changed after 5000km-7000km, Full synthetic oil provide protection for up to 15000km.

Heavy Loading

Full Synthetic oil protects a motor better under difficult conditions, such as stress driving, racing and pulling a boat. This is because the Full synthetic oil does not break down at higher temperatures.

COMPARISON AND EVALUATION

Torero 5W40 DPF formula versus anonymous SG 5W40 motor oil The following graphs show the friction of the oil, the lower and flatter the curve, the lower the coefficient of friction. As we know the lower the friction, the lower the fuel burned, therefore lowering the cost of fuel.

SUMMARY

In conclusion to the above graph, there is a large difference in friction between the two engine oil components. The latest generation of Torero additives components is able to maintain a lower friction curve which means lesser wear, low starting torque and quick acceleration. All of these are related to energy saving and reduction on fuel consumption.

Most importantly the graph also indicated scar wear level of Torero, which has been reduced by 30% over the conventional SG oil, therefore providing longer life and lower wear to the engine.

CAR CARE TIPS

There are many factors that effect contamination and additive diminution of engine oil in your car. Some factors are driving conditions, precision of ignition, fuel injection or carburetion adjustments and general mechanical condition of the engine. Therefore it is necessary to understand more about engine oil and its effects on your car and how “TORERO” products can assist to look after your vehicle.

Change Engine oil on regular basis

Pollution and contamination in the motor oil constantly increases when engine oil breaks down over time. Engine oil is designed to lubricate engine’s moving parts, to transmit combustion by- product away from cylinders and pistons. Small amount of water is formed when the engine is heated and cooled. During this process when dust and dirt enter the engine through the air intake system, it results in acid formation causing fuel leaks that seeps into the oil system. The oil filter removes particles as the oil passes through the filter, however with time the oil additives oxidizes and thickens which indicates that an oil change should be made.

Right engine oil for your car

At low temperature, we need the motor oil to flow readily or smoothly. At high temperature, we need the motor oil to remain smooth and prevent from becoming too thin which might lead to metal to metal contact. The viscosity of oil varies with changes in temperature it becomes thinner when hot and thicker when cold. Therefore, engineers developed multigrade motor oils to serve individual clients and their needs.

Warning signs

Blue, black or white smoke

When your car emits smoke and if cloudy smoke generated is relatively blue or blue-black, this may be a sign that oil is being burned along with the fuel. The probable cause could be either worn out piston rings or an oil viscosity that is too low. Black smoke could indicates that excess fuel is being burned, while white smoke indicates moisture in the cold engine and exhaust system getting burned off and if continued with due time could lead to internal coolant leak.

Oil warning light

When oil warning light at your dashboard is indicatively turned on, it may indicate that there is a low oil level, a weakening oil pump, a defective oil pressure sensor, obstruction in the oil system or too much foaming of the oil and more. In all these situations, you should shut down your engine immediately under safe conditions.

Since it is a complex process for the individual motorist to determine when the contamination level reaches a higher level, or when the above warning sign might appear. Auto manufactures provide recommended oil change intervals which vary by model year and manufacturer, whereas “TORERO” provides a range of motor oil to meet the needs of individual drivers.
