1.3.4.2. Qualities of engine oils

GENERAL INFORMATION

All-weather oils on the VW 501 01 standards and 505 00 are rather inexpensive oils with the following qualities:

 – all-the-year-round use in zones of a temperate climate;
 – excellent washing properties;
 – good greasing ability at all temperatures and engine loadings;
 – high stability of initial properties for a long time.

All-weather oils with the improved antifrictional qualities on the VW 500 00 standard have, besides, additional advantages:

 – all-the-year-round use honor at all possible temperatures of external air;
 – small losses of engine capacity on a friction;
 – simplification of cold start-up of the engine – as well at very low temperatures.


Prevention

Seasonal oils owing to specific vyazkostno-temperature properties inherent in them usually cannot be used all the year round. Therefore these oils should be applied only in extreme climatic zones.

When using all-weather oils of the class SAE 5W-30 it is necessary to avoid long operation of the engine with high frequency of rotation and constant big load of the engine. These restrictions are not valid for all-weather oils with the improved antifrictional qualities.

It is not necessary to add any additives reducing losses on a friction, to engine oils.
