Top 1 Oil Synthetic Lubricating Maintenance For Your Vehicle

Motor Oil or Car is Fluid as an internal Lubricant. Serves to prevent friction between moving parts. In different climatic conditions as well as some form of use of the machine, it takes oil or lubricating oil is best to be able to run with maximum function.

Over time, engine oil may lose its viscosity. Viscosity is the thickness of a liquid. In the parts of a machine, there is movement and friction, such as cylinders, bearings, valves, and others - others. If the loss of viscosity, friction between these parts may be dangerous and reduce machine function, reduce performance, reducing its useful life, wasteful of fuel, and cause wear. So we have to really - properly select TOP 1 lubricant to protect the motor and your motor when traveling, visiting with friends or relatives just to travel to interesting places in Indonesia.  

Type Oil :
1. Mineral oil is the base fluid (with the addition of additives) produced from refining crude oil, not synthetic compounds, such as the synthetic oil. For this type is common in Indonesia or International markets and cheaper.
2. Semi - synthetic devoted to machinery, automobiles, motorcycles are more powerful and achieve an average rate of speed. It has a carbon composite mineral less.
3. Synthetic oil is obtained from a chemical reaction, not cause charring. The only type of oil is recommended for any vehicle. Having a higher quality. Maybe you already understand the difference between the three, so what do you think about Synthetic oil vs Mineral Oil?  

Selecting Top 1 For Synthetic Oil Vehicles Indonesia :
Whether you're choosing a car or motorcycle engine oil is best?
Top 1 is one that you can make a choice. Oil this one has got a recommendation from the Federation Internationale de Motorcyclisme or FIM and proved to have good quality.
Among the advantages of synthetic oil use include:
- Viscosity index and high purity
- Reduces the formation of deposits in the engine.
- Reduces engine component wear
- Good protection for the machine to a lubricant, because at high speeds and high temperatures, do not loose its characteristics.
- Improving performance, keep the engine or other motor vehicle.

The advantage of a higher viscosity index on the one hand, a higher viscosity at high temperatures, making reduced oil consumption and wear and tear was too. Lower viscosity at low temperatures, so that the condition of the motor or the car will be better and fuel consumption was less. 

Among the oil products such as Top 1 Action Plus 10 W-30, Action Matic, SMO MC 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil Blend Synthectic and many others. If you want to know more product details, visit the official website at www.top1.co.id

Tips for Knowing the Expiration an Automobile Tire

Tires is a device that covers the rim of a wheel. Tires are an important part of the Ground Vehicles, and used to reduce vibrations caused by irregularities in the road surface, protect the wheel from wear and tear, as well as provide stability between the vehicle and the ground to improve the speed and ease of movement.
Most of the existing tires, especially those used for motor vehicles, manufactured from synthetic rubber, although  it can also be used from other materials such as steel.

Reading the Tire Size
Dimensions or the size of a tire can be stated as follows: "205/55 / ZR16"
Specification tire dimensions or sizes may be stated as follows:
205: Tread Width (mm)
55: aspect ratio for the thickness of the tire (%) of the width of the tire tread
ZR: code speed limit
16: rim diameter (inches)
Speed ​​Code Tire
Tire Load Index
Knowing Expired Tires.
Tires is an object that has a shelf life, well if stored too long without being attached in the car, or if installed in a car that is very rarely used.

To know the month and year of Production Tires then we can consider 4 numbers listed to the rim near the lip (see picture).

2 points in front signifies week, 2 points behind marked the year.
For example, it says 0910 means the tire was made in week 9 of 2010

Expiration tires stored in the warehouse is 6 years old, in the sense that if we buy tires that are older than 6 years since produced the user will face a huge risk because the rubber tires are very brittle so that it becomes easier to crack and eventually break.

And for maximum safety are should buy a tire that really "Fresh from the Oven" which was only a few months since the tire was produced.

Also for tires used on cars that are very, very rarely used, replace the tires if tires are 6 years of age and should be replaced for maximum security earlier would be better, for example, was replaced in year 4.

Goodyear, Tire With Air Maintenance Technology (ATM)

New breakthrough Technology results Tires Air Maintenance Technology (ATM) Development and will automatically measure the air pressure in it. That results from the development of Goodyear Tire one of the leading brands.
Goodyear has been showcased in full in the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in the past.

Goodyear ATM is the result of development in the laboratory for 2 years. At the Geneva Motor Show Exhibition visitors can see how the tire was fixed at the optimal pressure without having to check the tire pressure with an external device. Maintained tire pressure will affect the reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions further, because the optimal tires make the car move will also be optimal. Unlike Wind tire shortage that resulted in engine performance becomes more severe so wasteful and more polluting fuels

AMT development based on research at Goodyear Dunlop Europe that consumers did not care about their tire pressure. Half of those surveyed did not know when to check air pressure in their tires, and one of three riders said he did not think to check their tire pressure, even before embarking on long trips. AMT technology will help motorists to ensure and maintain optimum tire pressure. The result is claimed to save fuel, 2.5 percent - 3.3 percent. Furthermore, AMT claimed to save 57 liters of fuel per year for vehicle users who travel frequently enough.
