Motorolaj

Motorolaj is the Hungarian term for motor oil. It is a lubricant used in internal combustion engines. The primary function of motor oil is to reduce friction between moving parts of the engine, which in turn reduces wear and tear. It also helps to cool the engine by absorbing heat and carrying it away from critical components. Additionally, motor oil cleans the engine by suspending dirt and debris, preventing them from accumulating and causing damage. It also protects against corrosion and seals the gaps between piston rings and cylinder walls, improving compression and efficiency.

Motor oils are typically made from a base oil, which can be mineral, synthetic, or a blend of both, to which various additives are incorporated. These additives enhance the oil's performance, providing properties such as detergency, dispersancy, anti-wear, anti-foaming, and viscosity modification. The viscosity, or thickness, of motor oil is a crucial characteristic, often indicated by a number like 10W-30. The first number (e.g., 10W) refers to the oil's viscosity at cold temperatures, while the second number (e.g., 30) indicates its viscosity at operating temperature.

The type and grade of motor oil required for a vehicle are specified by the manufacturer in the owner's manual. Using the correct motor oil is essential for maintaining engine health and performance, ensuring proper lubrication, cooling, and cleaning. Regular oil changes are also vital for engine longevity, as the oil degrades over time and loses its effectiveness.
