FOR LOWER WEAR AND LONGER ENGINE LIFE: OIL-ADDITIVES For every kilometer you drive you pay with a tiny piece of the engine, because of friction and wear. This can be seen from accumulated metals abrasion in the oil. With LIQUI MOLY Oil Additiv / MoS2 Anti-Friction and Cera Tec this wear can be re- duced. In spite of all efforts to produce smooth metal surfaces they remain, when viewed under a microscope, rough and uneven 1 (Fig. 1). These irregularities are compensated for with the appli- cation of solid lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) or microceramics (Fig. 2). 2 Surface treatment consider ably re- duces frictional resistance and wear: chemical agents, or so-called friction modifiers (as found in MotorProtect) chemically bond with the metallic 3 surface and smooth the high points of metal pairing surfaces, thereby eliminating damage (Fig. 3). Cera Tec combines both of the following acting principles: The microceramic solid lubricant fills 4 the coarseness of the metal, while a chemical reaction protects and smoothes the surface (Fig. 4). Motor oil additives are added directly into the oil filler opening of the engine and clean the system or reduce the friction and the wear. Oil sludge clogs oil ducts and holes. Over time, this leads to engine damage and to overheating. LIQUI MOLY Engine Flush is to be added to the motor oil before the oil change and cleans the engine of de- posits and residues. Clean oil circuits ensure a greater engine performance and service life. Combustion deposits in the combus- tion chamber collect in the piston ring grooves and inhibit the movement and sealing capability of the piston rings. LIQUI MOLY Engine Flush cleans the piston grooves and guarantees the ori- ginal compression and engine perfor- mance. Clean engines perform better and consume less fuel.

    AIRCRAFT ENGINES SERVICE INSTRUCTION SELECTION OF MOTOR OIL AND GENERAL OPERATING TIPS FOR ROTAX® ENGINES TYPE 912 AND 914 (SERIES) SI-18-1997 R5 Repeating symbols: Please, pay attention to the following symbols throughout this document emphasizing particular information. ▲ WARNING: Identifies an instruction, which if not followed, may cause serious injury or even death. ■ CAUTION: Denotes an instruction which if not followed, may severely damage the engine or could lead to suspension of warranty. ◆ NOTE: Information useful for better handling. 1) Planning information 1.1) Engines affected All versions of the engine type: - 912 (Series) - 914 (Series) 1.2) Concurrent ASB/SB/SI and SL none 1.3) Reason - Due to field experience the recommended engine oil list (section 3.2 and section 3.3) was updated. - Field experience has shown that additional information about the choice of suitable motor oils and oil change and maintenance intervals for the ROTAX engines Type 912 and 914 is necessary. Regardless of which brand of fuel is used, foreign particles are suspended in the motor oil. Heavy accumulation of particles on high temperature zones such as on piston rings, exhaust valve guides, may result in stuck piston rings and valves due to burning and coking of the oil. On turbocharged engine, failing to ensure an adequate cool-down period prior to shut-off may lead to particle deposits on the turbocharger wheels. This could result in an unbalance of the turbo wheel and consequently to a complete destruction of the turbocharger. Particle deposits or cooking may become loose in the engine and may block the lubrication system causing damage to the engine due to lack of oil.

  • Excessive Oil Consumption Nu/Gamma/Theta Engines
    GROUP MODEL ENG Multiple Models Listed NUMBER DATE 222 (Rev 2, 03/11/2021) December 2020 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SUBJECT: EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION NU/GAMMA/THETA ENGINES NOTICE This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised sections of this bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area. This bulletin provides information on diagnosing and/or repairing some 2011-2019MY vehicles (refer to table below for applicable model and engine), which may exhibit a symptom of excessive oil consumption. Follow the flowchart on page 2 and instructions outlined on page 3 in this procedure to repair a vehicle exhibiting excessive oil consumption. MY Model Engine 2012-2016 Soul (AM/PS) Gamma 1.6L GDI 2014-2019 Soul (PS) Nu 2.0L GDI Optima (TF, QF, JF, JFa) Theta 2.0L T-GDI 2011-2018 Sportage (SL, QL) and 2.4L GDI Sorento (XMa, UMa) Key points regarding engine oil maintenance: • Engine oil is responsible for lubrication, cooling, and operation of hydraulic components of the engine. Engine oil is expected to be consumed in normally operating engines. Therefore, regular oil level checking and oil changes are required as part of the factory maintenance schedule. • The purpose of oil changes is to prevent oil deterioration. A separate requirement is to maintain the oil level, independent of the oil change interval. It is necessary to check the oil level at every fueling stop and replenish the oil, if necessary. This is one of several check items that the owner’s manual recommends at every fueling stop. • Operation with deteriorated or low engine oil causes reduced lubrication and cooling, as well as impaired operation of hydraulic components.

  • Inverted Bucket Drain Traps
    873_Drainers:838_Drainers.qxd 7/8/2009 2:59 PM Page LD-5 Bringing Energy Down to Earth Say energy. Think environment. And vice versa. Any company that is energy conscious is also environmen- tally conscious. Less energy consumed means less waste, fewer emissions and a healthier environment. In short, bringing energy and environment together lowers the cost industry must pay for both. By helping companies manage energy, Armstrong products and services are also helping to protect the environment. Armstrong has been sharing know-how since we invented the energy-efficient inverted bucket steam trap in 1911. In the years since, customers’ savings have proven again and again that knowledge notshared is energy wasted. Armstrong’s developments and improvements in drain trap design and function have led to countless savings in energy, time and money. This section has grown out of our decades of sharing and expanding what we’ve learned. It deals with the operating principles of drain traps and outlines their specific applications to a wide variety of products and industries. This section also includes Recommendation Charts that summarize our findings on which type of drain trap will give optimum performance in a given situation and why. Terminology Drain traps, as described in this section, have many other names in industry. A drain trap is an automatic loss prevention valve that opens to discharge liquids and closes to prevent air or gas loss. In industry, drain traps are also known as: n Compressed air drains n Dump valves n Condensate drainers n Float traps n Air traps n Liquid drainers n Water traps n Compressed air traps This section should be utilized as a guide for the installation and operation of drain trapping equipment by experienced personnel.

  • Turbo Foreign Object Damage the Turbocharger Is a Highly Sophisticated and Fragile Component
    Garage Tech Tips Turbo foreign object damage The turbocharger is a highly sophisticated and fragile component. It is a turbine-driven device that forces extra air into the engine’s combustion chamber, thus increasing engine efficiency and power output. The turbocharger operates in extremely demanding and tough conditions: up to 250,000 RPM and 1,100 °C of hot exhaust. At these high performance levels, improper working conditions as well as dirt and foreign objects inside the system, can very easily damage the turbo. Problem The presence of any foreign objects inside the turbocharger can cause immediate and total failure of the turbo. Commonly, foreign object damage is caused by materials entering the turbine, compressor or bearing housing, thus impacting the rotating wheels and shaft. Damages lead to a loss of efficiency and extra noise from the turbo, or in the worst case scenario, a totally destroyed turbo. In severe cases of foreign object damage, it is common for the fragments of internal components, that are moving at very high speed, to cause instantaneous and irreversible damage to the engine, exhaust system or intercooler. This can cause These Compressor wheel blades have Overspeeding failure tears fragments off total engine failure and render a vehicle unfeasible been hit repeatedly by foreign objects, the Compressor wheel that will for repair. and the compressor housing will also continuously destroy the turbo bear signs of impacts Recommended solution Always ensure that the entire air system is totally clean and free from any objects, which may cause the damage to the turbo. Any splits or gaps in pipe work can pull in unfiltered objects all the way from the air filter box to the turbo, including EGR, manifold and engine breather system.

  • About Your Oil & What You Need to Know from Bell Performance Types
    Bell Performance, Inc. tel 407-831-5021 1340 Bennett Drive fax 407-331-1125 Longwood, FL 32750 www.bellperformance.com www.WeFixFuel.com Healthy Oil: All About Your Oil & What You Need To Know From Bell Performance This white paper from Bell Performance focuses on the most important part of your engine – the motor oil. Most people take their oil for granted, not understanding the scope of its function in their engine. The assumption is that oil is just for lubricating, but running your car or truck or boat with this assumption may not be the best thing in the long run. If you really understand what oil does, what it’s designed to do, and why it’s important to take care of it in your vehicle, you can go a long way toward maximizing the life and health of the investment you have in your vehicle or boat. In this white paper, we’ll talk about oil from a number of different perspectives, mostly from the perspective of the oil’s health – what keeps it healthy and what happens when the oil loses its ability to do what it’s supposed to do. So let’s get started! Types of Motor Oil Reading the types of motor oil can confuse anyone who comes out a bottle of oil with strange jargon on it like SAE, API, 10W-30. These terms don’t turn out to be so confusing once they know what they are. SAE – This stands for Society of Automotive Engineers and is the group who have established the classifying categories for the viscosity of the different types of motor oil.

The majority of people believe they can do no better than have the dealer service their equipment, or alternatively follow the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule. While both these methods should produce acceptable results, it doesn’t produce the benchmark for efficiency and longevity! This book shows you how to re-set the benchmark for machinery life, operating efficiency and maintenance costs. And surprisingly, the little extra things the owner can do are not hard, nor do they take a lot more time. And, they are not expensive! In fact, they will save you $1000’s in repairs and maintenance over the life of your equipment, and gain many more $1000’s in resale value.
