In the world of motor oil, viscosity is a crucial parameter. Viscosity determines the fluidity of the lubricant and the adhesion of active ingredients, which has an important impact on the operating efficiency and life of the engine. As a widely used type of engine oil products, the film strength of low-viscosity engine oil has become a key indicator to evaluate its performance.
1. Definition and characteristics of low-viscosity oil film strength
The film strength of low-viscosity motor oil refers to the ability of the oil film to resist external pressure and shear force in the oil film formed by low-viscosity lubricating oil. Compared with traditional high-viscosity oils, low-viscosity oils can form a thinner film at the same pressure, but at the same time, the film is required to have sufficient strength to ensure that it can remain stable in high-speed, high-temperature or high-load working environments, providing continuous and effective lubrication protection for the engine.
Advantages of low-viscosity and high-strength oil film
There are many advantages to low-viscosity motor oils, but only if the oil film is strong enough. Let's start by looking at the advantages of low-viscosity, high-strength film oils.
1. High fuel economy: Low viscosity oil can transfer heat and power faster in the engine because of its good fluidity, thereby reducing energy loss and improving fuel economy.
2. Good wear resistance: the thin and tough oil film can form an effective isolation layer between the metal surfaces, reduce friction and wear, and prolong the service life of the engine.
3. Strong adaptability: low viscosity, high strength oil film oil can adapt to more demanding working environments, such as high temperature, high speed and other conditions, and maintain the stability and strength of the oil film at all times.
3. How to choose low-viscosity and high-strength oil film engine oil
In the process of daily maintenance, it is difficult for car owners to know whether the strength of the oil film is sufficient, which also brings great difficulty to car owners when purchasing engine oil. In fact, if you want me to say, this is not a difficult problem to solve, when buying engine oil, car owners only need to look for "high quality, good reputation" on the line.
Quality we can start with certification, now on the market known to be the longest research and development time of the oil should be Idemitsu lubricants, this 100-year-old lubricant brand, a long time ago has become a major Japanese well-known OEM original engine oil business. As you must know, Idemitsu IFG series 0W-20 low-viscosity fully synthetic engine oil is currently one of the priority engine oil products for Japanese car owners. In addition to providing original engine oil for Japanese car companies for a long time, it is closely related to the good adhesion of active ingredients of engine oil (that is, what we call oil film), wear resistance, cleanliness, acceleration, fuel economy and other aspects.
Let's take a look at the certification: Idemitsu IFG's full range of engine oils have passed a number of certifications such as API SP and ILSAC GF-6A, which is currently the highest level of API certification among synthetic engine oils. SP grade motor oil has higher performance in terms of environmental protection, resistance to low-speed pre-ignition, and chain protection.
Look at the word of mouth again: the reputation of Idemitsu IFG series low-viscosity fully synthetic engine oil is very high. In order to avoid subjectivity, you can search for it on your own in the car emperor or major car circles, which has a lot of discussions about "Idemitsu IFG series low-viscosity fully synthetic engine oil", and there are also a lot of discussions on "oil film adhesion of Idemitsu IFG series 0W-20 engine oil". I can tell you with certainty that more than 90% of users are satisfied with the performance of Idemitsu IFG series low-viscosity fully synthetic engine oil in terms of fuel consumption, noise reduction, smooth acceleration, etc., and give a high evaluation.
4. Concluding remarks.
As an important indicator of the performance of low-viscosity engine oil, the oil film strength is of great significance for improving the operating efficiency and life of the engine. With the continuous advancement of technology, low-viscosity motor oil will be used in more models, and its environmental protection attributes will eventually become the trend of the future.
