Tire Maintenance Tips

The round black is often ignored even though he's the only part of the car that direct contact with the road and the car could be rolled to ensure a comfortable and safe. To make sure the tires are in the best condition, make sure to always check the air pressure, surface condition and tire rotation.

Checking tire pressure

The easiest way, simple and easy to memparjang old tires is to keep the tire pressure according to the standard. Figures it can be known from the owner's manual or the sticker behind the driver's door.

Examination performed on all wheels, including spare tire. At least once a month or before long trips. Check the tires in cool conditions or a maximum of 1.6 km road so far.

Air pressure will rise when hot tires. Tires less heat and wind will quickly erupted at risk. The only way to determine accurately the wind pressure, using a measuring instrument which is usually sold at the auto parts store. Visually very difficult to determine whether the tire pressure is less.

Checking the tire surface conditions

Once a month, along with checking tire pressure, check also the condition of the tire surface. Perhaps permukaaanya cracked, torn, holes, bumps or a glass / stone wedged the tire grooves.

Check your tires are too worn surface. This could be an indicator of inadequate air pressure, misalignment and the problems of the suspension system. Tire rut depth should also receive attention. Tire is considered worn out when the depth of recess is only 1 / 16 inch or 1.6 mm.

Tire rotation
Regular tire rotation create a uniform level of wear on each tire. Rotation is done every 10.000 km - 12.000 km. The process of rotation can also be integrated with other routine maintenance. Rotation patterns are usually in the show are also on the user guide or ask the workshop.
The recommended tire care only soap and water. Production number sold in the market is likely contain ingredients that damage the tire, although there is also functioning otherwise.
On the wall of tires, in addition to brands typically there is also a row of numbers and letters are confusing. Row when translated could give a clearer picture about the identity of tires.

For example: P215/65R15 89H
P = Passenger tire marks for passenger cars. for light trucks is usually denoted by LT.
215 = tire width in millimeters
65 = aspect ratio or the ratio of the width and height of the tire wall.
R = Radial, B for Belted bias and D for diagonal bias
15 = wheel diameter in inches.
89H = Service description, where 89 is the load index, describes the ability to receive a load of tires. H is the symbol of speed or maximum speed of the tires (not car).

Another is the speed symbol:
Q = 99 mph (158.4 km / h), R = 106 mph (170 km / h), S = 112 mph (180 km / h), T = 118 mph (188.8 km / h), U = 124 mph (198.4 km / h), H = 130 mph (208 km / h), V = 149 mph (238.4 km / h) Z = 149 mph.
Traction: shows the ability of the tire to stop at the surface wet. Scale of the AA (best) to C (poor)
Temperature: the ability to withstand the impact of tire heat. Scale A, the most good, bad C.

Character Match with Engine Oil

At the time the machine worked, friction occurs repeatedly between engine components. This can lead to wear and tear on the surface. Lubricating oil will create a slippery surface, so that direct friction antarkomponen machine will be prevented. The amount of friction can cause the engine experienced over the heat until the jam or otherwise cause damage to the cylinder and piston, such as irregularities oil pump, oil leaks on the canal, and could also be due to one factor the use of oil itself. For that, it's good to follow tips such as mobilmotor.co.id submitted, the following, to use an oil lubricant.

* Type of Oil (Lubricants)

Based on raw materials there are three types of oil in the market, ie, minerals, semi-synthetic, and synthetic. Lubricant mineral material is essentially oil, which is processed into lubricating oil. If the distillate is then combined with other synthetic materials to achieve better quality standards, then the product is called a semi-synthetic lubricants. Higher quality longer called synthetic lubricants.

* Standard Oil Viscosity

Oil can be classified from the viscosity or thickness level. In containers of oil, usually found in the code letters and numbers that show it. For example SAE 40, SAE 50, SAE 90, and so on. SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers or the Institute of Automotive Engineers, which sets standards of consistency at a temperature of 100 oC. Figures show the level of consistency behind it.

Multi-digit code, such as 10W-50 grade is the viscosity can vary according to temperature in the vicinity. Numbers behind the letter W stands for Winter 10 (winter). So it means to have the lubricant viscosity equivalent to SAE 10 (in the cold), but when the hot air is equal to SAE 50 viscosity.

* Oil Quality Classification

Classification of lubricating oil quality is determined by the API (American Petroleum Institute). Classification of an oil quality on the packaging is marked with a letter code, usually there are two parts separated by slashes, eg API Service SG / CD, SH + / CE +, and so forth. Code with the letter S stands for service (or spark which means spark), is a specification for gasoline engine oil usage. While the letter C stands for commerce (or compression due to the combustion occurs at a higher air pressure), is a specification for diesel oil consumption. Then for the second letter in the code is the level of quality in accordance with the sequence of alphabet letters. Getting closer to the letter Z, the higher or better quality.

* Choose The Right and the Qualified
Follow the instructions manual vehicles that we use. If the recommended use SAE 20W-50, then do not buy oil with different viscosity standards. Moreover, for some reason is cheaper and so forth. Because the performance and character of its own engine oil specifications require.
* Beware of Oil Original but false. Buy oil in place of garage sales or official.

Due to rush off the machine

Whereas these bad habits have a negative impact on future

One of the bad habits of drivers were in a hurry turn off vehicle engines when parked vehicles. Whereas these bad habits have a negative impact in the future. Consider the following description:

* We do not directly turn off the machine to the off position and contact-Geber menggeber gas. This is very influential in the engine lubrication. When high speed machines require better lubrication. But because it directly off although there was still some oil on the wall of boring (home-cylinder), lubrication be reduced. If the machine will often be worn or broken.

* The machine is turned off immediately after digeber at high speeds are less precise manner. Since that time the kitchen had just worked hard runways of the journey. In the state of high temperature engines, of the components in it are still in bloom, if it suddenly turned off it will damage the cylinder wall.

* In addition, the machine is required to do continuous high speed must be experiencing stress. This condition makes the machine state is not stable.

* Habits turn off the engine suddenly after driving at high speed can cause rapid wear of piston rings. Further spread to the decrease in compression so that workers become hard.

* To turn off the engine when it let stand a few moments until iddling spin machine really in a state of stationary. After that turn the ignition key to the off position.

8 how to save on car operating costs

-The car is no longer a matter of prestige. For some, the car is an important transportation tool included in the group's daily needs. Same as the others in that group, transportation needs must be made seirit and as effective as possible in order not to disturb the stability of the financial balance of households.

This condition is especially felt in major cities. In Jakarta, nearly 40% of expenditure in this post. More than 50% of travel is commuting to work. Approximately 20% to return to school.

Savings can be started when buying a car. Choosing a used car can save many millions of rupiah compared to new cars of the same model. Similarly, the tax must be paid, is also more efficient.

Four-cylinder inline engine configuration is more efficient than the V6 or V8 peformanya much better. (And anyways, why search for a car that could race in Jakarta when the average cruising speed of only 8 km / h, much smaller than the international average, 12 km / h). The car is lighter, smaller more friendly also about gasoline.

Even if currently already have a car, you can still do the savings with the simple steps in accordance common sense.


+ Do not heat the engine for too long

Machine heats habits are good, but not for too long. Because gasoline is burned it does not take you everywhere. Besides the car faster "hot" when driving. Moreover, current car technology did not take long minutes warming. So why waste gasoline by 'ritual' warm-up for long?

+ Treat Gently car

Run a car with a soft and smooth. Bring the car to the ideal speed / cruising fast but do not be rude. Try to stable at that speed. This will save gasoline. Avoid the habit of speeding and brake repeatedly. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, USA, the most economical speed range from 40 km / h to 100 km / hr. Running a car with a soft, not only saves fuel but also extend the life of the engine, transmission and brakes.


+ Be careful with the roof rack

May not have thought that putting the goods in the roof rack will cause the gas form the more extravagant. In fact the air flow disturbance caused by the placement of goods that cause the engine to work harder and that means more gasoline. When equipped with air conditioning, make it a habit to close all the windows, because open windows would disrupt the airflow and create new barriers.


+ Use recommended fuel plant

If your car is designed to use premium, you buy premium. Buying gasoline is more expensive does not provide a significant advantage. Only, be careful with premium leaded Pertamina is still sold. This tends to generate heaps of gasoline in the combustion chamber in the crust of the long term.

+ Treatment on a regular basis

Car care habits, including regular oil change will ultimately reduce operating costs, because the car is in operation in top condition and are rarely damaged. Machines that are not in tune up to absorb gasoline from 10 to 20 percent more than the diligent care. Modern machines are computer controlled do not require tune ups as often as the old machine, but still should be treated. Make sure the car was treated according to the existing schedule in the manual. Act swiftly when they hear or feel the sound, vibration and smell different, it would help reduce the risk of dry bags.


+ No need formal workshop

Authorized dealer of course equipped with modern equipment and experienced production car repair. But the formal workshop is usually more expensive than ordinary workshop. So it's good for regular workshops with experienced and professional mechanic to perform routine maintenance your car. While in certain cases classified as difficult and rare, better take advantage of the formal workshop. Get used car maintenance records every time the car entered the garage. This entry would be very useful later when the car will be sold again.


+ Check your tires

Often the negligent motorists check tire. Though less pressure tires require more energy wind to menggulirkannya, faster than worn. Check the tire at least once a month in cold conditions. The recommended pressure is usually listed in the manual or on the inside of the car. This habit will prolong the life of tires that are now expensive.


+ Seat belts are not decoration

Take advantage of safety belts, because this device is shown to provide optimal protection during collision. Risk of injury can be reduced, so too the cost of hospital care.
