Malay version.Tip = High Viscosity Index for your engines oil

ISU kelikatan minyak adalah mendalam untuk dikupas dan penulis cuba meringkaskannya sebaik mungkin. Kita boleh memahami bahawa geseran berlaku kerana adanya daya bertentangan menghalang sesuatu daya yang ke hadapan.

Geseran ini terjadi pada cecair seperti minyak pelincir. Geseran ini bertambah jika pergerakan bertambah laju. Dalam pada itu, kita kadangkala terlupa bahawa geseran terjadi di dalam sesuatu cecair iaitu antara molekul atau zarah cecair itu sendiri. Ini yang mewujudkan kelikatan sesuatu cecair itu.

Kelikatan ini biasanya bertambah tinggi apabila cecair berada pada suhu yang rendah dan begitu juga sebaliknya. Seperti madu lebah, ia amat likat apabila sejuk, tetapi rendah kelikatannya atau cair jika dipanaskan. Berlainan dengan air biasa, perbezaannya tidak begitu ketara antara panas dan sejuk.

Cecair atau minyak yang banyak perbezaannya berbanding suhu digelar mempunyai Indeks Kelikatan Tinggi (High Viscosity Index). Cecair yang tidak banyak berbeza berbanding suhu mempunyai Indeks Kelikatan Tinggi (High Viscosity Index).

Kelikatan sesuatu cecair boleh disukat melalui pelbagai proses seperti mengira masa diambil untuk gegalas bebola melepasi cecair berkenaan bagi jarak tertentu di dalam tabung uji.

Pada suhu bilik, air mempunyai kelikatan lebih kurang satu CentiPoise, manakala gliserol mempunyai kelikatan 1500 CentiPoise.

Unit Poise dinamakan sempena seorang doktor perubatan Perancis iaitu Jean Louis Poiseuille (1799-1869) yang amat berminat mengkaji aliran darah dalam tubuh manusia.

Di dalam enjin, kelikatan amat penting kerana minyak pelincir yang terlalu cair dipaksa melepasi permukaan gegalas atau bearing dan tidak dapat melindungi permukaannya daripada geseran.

Begitu juga sebaliknya jika minyak pelincir terlalu likat, ia tidak dapat memasuki ruang di permukaan bahagian logam serta perlindungan geseran tidak dapat dijalankan.

Pelincir yang terlalu likat melambatkan proses pergerakan komponen enjin dan menaikkan suhu enjin serta menyebabkan kerosakan enjin.

Oleh itu, penggunaan minyak pelincir terlalu likat atau cair boleh mendatangkan kerosakan pada enjin. Untuk menentukan tahap kelikatan ini satu piawaian diwujudkan pada 1911 iaitu piawaian J300 bagi menentukan kelikatan minyak enjin oleh Persatuan Jurutera Automotif (Society of Automotive Engineers S.A.E.) SAE J300 ini hanya mengukur tahap kelikatan minyak pelincir yang segar dan belum digunakan.

Minyak yang diuji diberikan nombor 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 dan 50. Huruf W itu sebenarnya melambangkan winter atau musim sejuk dan melambangkan tahap kelikatan minyak berkenaan pada suhu 0°F atau -11.8°C

Minyak pelincir multigred seperti 5W/40 pula mempunyai tambahan polimer yang mampu mengekang proses perubahan kelikatan disebabkan perubahan suhu.

Pada suhu sejuk polimer ini tidak bertindak dan minyak pelincir tadi berada pada tahap kelikatan seperti nombor tertera pada awalnya iaitu SAE 5. Apabila suhu meningkat, polimer itu bertindak mengawal kecairan minyak dan menetapkan kelikatannya pada tahap nombor sebelah kiri iaitu SAE 40 pada 100.0°C.

Satu cara lagi untuk melihat kelikatan minyak ialah ia tidak turun di bawah SAE 5 dan melebihi SAE 40. Semakin besar julat kelikatan minyak berkenaan, semakin banyak polimer digunakan untuk menstabilkan minyak itu serta meningkatkan harganya.

Sebenarnya bagi kegunaan kita di negara ini, tahap kelikatan awal iaitu 5W tidak begitu relevan kerana kita tidak mengalami suhu sejuk melampau seperti di negara barat.

Apa yang lebih penting bagi kita ialah kebolehan minyak itu mengekalkan kelikatannya pada suhu tinggi untuk melindungi enjin. Oleh itu minyak 5w 40 adalah pilihan lebih baik berbanding 10w 30 bagi kegunaan kita.

Banyak isu yang diperbincangkan mengenai minyak sintetik berbanding minyak mineral. Jelas bahawa minyak sintetik mempunyai banyak kelebihannya berbanding mineral terutama dari segi kestabilannya menahan oksida pada suhu tinggi.

Namun harus diingat bahawa minyak sintetik adalah mahal dan mungkin hanya sesuai digunakan dalam operasi enjin memerlukan prestasi amat mencabar seperti dalam perlumbaan.

I notice something. There seems to be so many words that they don't have their own words in. For example;
Indeks, gliserol, komponen, enjin, automotif, polimer, proses, nombor, menstabilkan, relevan, sintetik, mineral.
These words are directly taken from English and just spelt in their own language. Well, I ain't against anything of that but just pondered why they couldn't come up with their own words.

Oh, and if anybody thinks that is a racist or discriminating statement, don't bother about it because a person who turns a general comment into a racist/discriminating statement is the racist/discriminist him/herself.
thanks to the topic starter for giving us a good info on how to choose the best engine oil for our beloved car.

For satria_95, i hope you can give better comment other than searching people's mistakes or weakness. such comment as "these words are directly taken from English and just spelt in their own language" is not really constructive. At least the writer tried his best to explain everything and makes people understand. i believe a lot of forumers gets the benefit of reading the article.

What i can say, most of the language in this world do borrow other's language, i.e
english do borrow words like durian, or Amuk. do they have their own word for that? no isnt it? so .. i dont think the writer should be blamed on using english terms in his article in order for him to convey the knowledge to others.

To other forumers, lets extract the knowledge from the article. If you not really understand malay, may be you can ask other forumer to explain it to you.


cheers

nap303,
I was searching for people's mistakes or weakness? Never even crossed my mind. I guess YOU had the "searching for people's mistakes or weakness" in your mind and thus, turned my general statement to sound like that. Read the last paragraph in my earlier post if you may. My statement is general. Further to that, I have clearly stated that

It was just a general statement for my own personal pondering that I have shared. I also didn't say that English words never borrowed other words in different languages or whatsoever.

If you find it challenging to decipher the meaning of my posts with generalism in mind, then may I kindly suggest that you not even try to do so. Even though you may mean no harm in your post, it had a sense of false accusation. One that turned my general statement into what one that seems like I am "searching for people's mistake or weakness".

On the contrary, should I not point out their mistakes or weaknesses? Or are they so narrow minded to think that commenting or voicing out on their mistakes or weaknesses is seen as an insult, or something that is "not really constructive"? So assuming my hair style is ugly, people should not tell me that it was a mistake for me to cut my hair into that style? Or should I view it that they are insulting me? Perhaps you could shed some light and show me what I have failed to see?
satria_95,

actually, i didnt mean to write anything inside this forum coz i just come to get some guidance for my beloved car. suddenly i caught on your post and i believe its not right for you to voice out your opinion abt language in this forum. From the article posted by our good samaritan the only thing that caught your eyes is those particular words? whics is most of them is technical words.

for me to decipher your post is not really challanging. to interprate it as a general comment also not really hard for me, but as you can see, this is a forum for car. so extract something that related abt car. and other than that.. just voice out your opinion in some other place. plus cant you see? in your sentence.. you said "their language" instead of "our language". that applies if you are malaysian. if you are not.. im sorry.. you can use "their" instead of "our" coz you are not part of malaysian.

cheers

zth rule: english speaking forum. imo satria_95 have the right to say something about language, which imo he didn't, he just went off topic and say something about malay don't have specific word for some english word.

i was about to suggest that we invent our own word for those words (joystick = batang ria lolx!!!) but its too late now.. so..

FLAME WAR!! FLAME WAR!!! WHERE'S MY NAPALM CANISTER???!

yeah .. we all know its english speaking forum my dear friend, but y cant he just say something nicer instead of picking up some words n talk abt it and its waaaayyy out of topic.. coz its a car talk, not a language talk. the writer may be cant speak english well or cant write english well or he just copy it from some other place and he cant really translate it to english. so y cant y guys just forgive him for posting something informative in Malay language. Anyway, its just my 2 cents .... btw, happy reading and have a good day

tq

Hmm the article is quite good btw to explain about the viscosity and the SAE rating.

Well,we are all adults here so zth rule is that please post in english.But we appreciate skybluev6 bro's effort for this,but maybe if next time you can try to post in english then it will be best.

For the words part...no point argue who is wrong who is correct.Everyone have their opinion and point of view.No one is right or wrong..

Come back to engine oil...so that's y those petronas 0w40 oil so exspensive..previouslly i know how to read what is 0w and 40 but dunno that the difference between 0 and 40 or 5 and 50 play a role tooo...

i think there shud be a difference there, i think it shud be if the viscousity has much difference compared to heat applied to it, the liquid has a low viscoutsity index and vice versa.

p/s : dis is where sumone shud correct me, if there was any mistake in my previous statement :)

hmmm... hmmmmm...

i read through the article, it seems 90% the same as an english article of engine oil i read somewhere before on the net, almost as if the malay article is translated from that very article i read about. can't find it tho.. i just follow one link after another, can't remember where's it now, if i found it again i'll post it here.

1. This is an English forums - doesnt matter if its sucks - we learned !
2. Its a cut n paste - we 'google' dont we ?
3. This is a discussion forums not an information forums unless its yours truely

just follow the rules enuff said
me englis sucks tooo, but everyone understand lah

peace to all......
dear mr jombee,

i didnt oppose the rule of using english in this forum. :regular_smile: true enough ppl can learn though this forum and yet we have to give some space to those who are still crawling in using english language. and its applicable for those who try to share something informative. just forgive him this time cant we? may be next time he'll give more in english :regular_smile: . oh yea.. did we discuss something informative here? btw, did u read my previous post before? may be u'll more understand what im trying to say.

cheers

heh heh.. may be the writer make a mistake or a typo mistake. it should be like this "A higher viscosity index indicates the viscosity changes less with temperature than a lower viscosity index". well i get it through internet too.

i didnt get it from the net, just common sense. i think its like what i studied in UM, on biggy imo. thanx for putting it in better words bro, aprreciate it.

p/s: whats wit d language issue? shudnt be rite, just delete it if it bothers a lot of u. as for me, i understand the article completely, sum mistakes here and there but altogether good. sum of us here use chinese language which i cant understand too, so what? just respect each other and try the best to conversate, no biggy guys :)

And your point being? You seem to view my post as a ...erm.... negative post (or so it feels that way) when it is not. As I have said and again I say it one last time, it is just a general statement. I wonder about it on my own personal grounds. I do not want to judge you or any other people. However, it seems that you are trying to start some form of flame by turning my own personal (and general) statements which applies to my ownself, into something that seems like I am picking on other's mistakes, which I am clearly not as stated in my post (which I have deleted anyway).

Forget it. You and me have got different wave lengths. Take notice that I have deleted my post. I find that it serves no purpose to post personal opinions in this thread, since there are people who could turn innocent statements into false accusations, based on their own biased mind.

God Bless You, for I shall and will not have anything against you. Peace.
