Oil classification according to API (Part 3)

Qualitative level Scope of use GL-1 For cylindrical gear transmission, screw, helical bevel gear, small load GL-2 Used for powertrain systems such as group 1 but with high load capacity and high temperature GL-3 Used for worm gear transmission, helical bevel gear bearing large load and high temperature. GL-4 For hypoit gear drive system working […]

Oil classification according to JASO (4T engine)

Current motorcycles often use the same lubricant for engines and wet clutches. To make sure that the correct lubricant is used by the manufacturer. Lubricating oil must meet the requirements of JASO standard. Targets JASO MA JASO MA1 JASO MA2 JASO MB Dynamic friction characteristic index (DFI) 1.45 ≤ DFI <2.5 1.45 ≤ DFI <1.8 1.8 […]

SPECIFICATIONS: Foaming

What is foaming? Foaming assesses the degree of foam formation and destruction in oil. In liquids (hydraulic oils, engines), the air exposure range typically contains 8-9% dissolved air. When oil is in the air and foaming, it will increase the oxidation of the lubricant, increase the flow of oil and cavitation will appear. Most of […]

SPECIFICATIONS: Metal content and water content

Metal content: Additives in lubricant production include substances such as detergents, dispersants, antioxidants, abrasive agents, etc. Many additives contain one or more metallic elements. determined in this method. The amount of water, water content: Water destroys oil Rusting metal parts Water accelerates oxidation Water contaminates oil Maximum water content of 0.05% V
