Greener Oils for your Engines

The buzz at the moment, no matter whether it is the automobile sector or other industrial sectors, is going green or being eco friendly. And the haunting thoughts of a tomorrow, with so much pollution around are the reason why companies around the world are thinking ways to eradicate pollution, at least to some extent.

Enoc International Sales Ltd., a subsidiary of Emirates National Oil Company (Enoc) in United Arab Emirates (UAE) has introduced two new engine oils targeting a pollution-free tomorrow. The new engine oils, The Protect Green 5W 40 and Vulcan Green 10W 40 engine oils guarantees higher fuel efficiency and less pollution, and it seems to be the future of engine oils.

The engine oil could be used for both petrol and diesel engine vehicles and it is the first of its kind initiative from a UAE oil company. This engine oil will surely alter the industry standards and helps in pollution free tomorrow.

Talking about the engine oils in detail, both of them will have low content of sulphated ash and phosphorous. It takes care of the metals present in exhaust gas treatment. Even though these engine oils can be used in both petrol and diesel engine vehicles, it will be best suited for vehicles that are designed for exhaust gas emission controls and low sulfur fuels.

There have already been high praises coming up for the quality of the engine oil. According to the American Petroleum Institute (API) and major European and American original engine manufacturers’ specifications, the oils have long drain capability.

Both the engines oils are complying to the UAE emission control standards, but the Indian cars market may not have them very soon, they will have to wait a little longer to get lubricated with this Green engine oils. But whatever may, this is a really futuristic invention.

Vertical Lube Oil Pumps (Model VCRE)

Lube oil pumping applications demand a pump that provides reliability and extended service life with a minimum of maintenance. The typical Lube Oil pump must also be capable of operation over a wide range of temperature and liquid viscosity conditions. The VCRE family of pumps is designed specifically with these requirements in mind. The VCRE lube oil pump is a vertically submerged pump that utilizes an ANSI standard hydraulic construction, enclosed bearing housing, and welded piping construction which eliminates the inherent maintenance and leakage problems associated with other pumps. During operation, axial and radial thrust loads are controlled by Buffalo’s exclusive modified casing volute and impeller design.  is backed by extensive field-proven experience in designing pumps to handle any lube oil application. This experience also provides flexibility in assisting OEM’s contractors and end-users in designing a sound instal...

Motorcycle Shaft Drive Grease

General Purpose Grease Grease has several uses on a motorcycle. It's there to protect parts from water, to keep rubber and plastic seals from drying out, and to provide lubrication. Generally speaking, grease is just a reduced fat. In fact, you can find several companies who call their grease bases "soap." The choice for a general purpose grease to protect from water, keep seals moist, and provide lubrication is easy. If you're going to do your own maintenance, I recommend you get Mobil-1 or Valvoline synthetic grease for general purposes, about $6 / pound anywhere. This stuff can handle temperatures higher and lower than you'll ever get near. A one pound jar should last you about 15 years. Shaft Drive Gear Maintenance There are two types of maintenance you must do on a shaft drive bike. At your rear wheel there are pinion gears where the spinning drive shaft motion is turned 90 degrees into the rear wheel motion. These gears are bathed in oil which much be c...

Understanding Ferrous Density

As part of my job, I regularly present oil analysis training seminars. One of the tests we discuss is ferrous density. I find that this test is seldom well understood, and, probably as a result, is seldom used. Explanation of the Test Ferrous density is the density of ferrous, or more correctly, of ferromagnetic particles distributed in the oil. The other ferromagnetic elements that one might encounter in lubricated components are nickel and cobalt, but in practice, these elements are likely to be present only in comparatively small quantities. Therefore, we are effectively measuring the concentration of magnetic steel alloys. There is no single way to conduct a ferrous density analysis. There are many ways of performing this rather essential test. Perhaps the two most common are the direct-reading ferrography, a technique which uses light blockage analysis of material deposited on a glass slide; and electromagnetic induction, which measures the voltage induced in a current-carrying ...
