Function of Engine Lubricants

Basic:
a. Lubricating
b. Cooling
c. Sealing
d. Cleaning (Cleaning)

Addition:
e. Neutralized Acid
f. Anti Corrosion & Rust
g. Save fuel (Energy Conserving)
h. More durable.
Type of Lubricant
Liquid Lubricant: (base oil) + additive
• Mineral : base oil mineral + additive
• Semi-Sintetik : base oil mineral + base oil
sintetik + additive
• Full Sintetik : base oil sintetik + additive

Solid Lubricant:
• Grease : Pelumas cair + Thikener / Soap.
Base Oil Sintetis
Base oil made from hydrocarbons that
undergo a special process, with a
chemical process will be produced new
molecules that have thermal stability,
oxidation and optimal performance.

The advantage.
More durable.

The disadvantage.
More expensive and polluting the
environment.
Standadization of Lubricant.

Viscosity Standart
Quality Standart
Standardization of lubricant viscosity.
 Follow the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standards -

Machinery and Gears.

 Follow ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

standards - Industry.
 Follow the NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute)

standard

Advantages of Multi grade.
Save fuel.

Stable temperature.

More durable.

Reduces the occurrence of sludge and varnish on the

engine.
