Kesäöljyt

Kesäöljyt is a Finnish term that translates to "summer oils." It is a broad category of lubricating oils formulated for use in warmer weather conditions. These oils are designed to maintain adequate viscosity and lubrication performance at higher ambient temperatures, which are common during summer months.

The primary characteristic of kesäöljyt is their specific viscosity grade. While winter oils are formulated to remain fluid in cold temperatures, summer oils are designed to prevent excessive thinning when heated. This ensures that engine components and other machinery are adequately protected against friction and wear, even under demanding summer operating conditions. The exact viscosity grade will vary depending on the application, such as automotive engines, industrial machinery, or outdoor power equipment.

Compared to all-season oils, summer-specific formulations might offer a narrower operating temperature range but can provide optimal protection within that range. The development of summer oils involves careful selection of base oils and additive packages to achieve the desired performance characteristics, including thermal stability and resistance to oxidation. Usage of kesäöljyt is generally recommended during periods when ambient temperatures are consistently high.
