Yes, it Lubricates…
But, get a little oil on your fingers. You can’t just wipe it off. It clings to your skin. It does the same with motor parts. It seems odd, almost contradictory; but oil must flow, shear (or slide) and cling, all at the same time! It needs to act like glue, steel and water in order to do its job. Special additives help base oils do this better, more efficiently and effectively.
It Cools…
Oil helps to carry heat away from parts, another reason oil circulation is so important. A lot of heat is generated at points of high shear (or stress), so oil must circulate to cool and maintain its ability to function.
It Cleans…
Acids (which degrade oil) and other products of combustion invade the inside of your motor, cause internal wear, and degrade additives. Detergents in oil aren’t really like soap; they’re additives that hold harmful deposits, particles and chemicals in suspension to be captured in the oil filter as oil circulates through the motor.
It protects against Corrosion…
The oil film keeps oxygen and corrosive gases from getting to metal parts so they don’t oxidize or corrode. If that happens, metal surfaces get rough, oil can’t protect them as well, and they wear quickly.
It Fills Gaps; Protects Seals…
The microscopic space between ring and cylinder wall allows the pressure of combustion to leak by, robbing your motor of power. The viscous nature of oil fills that gap and helps to maintain pressure in the cylinder which gives you more power and better gas mileage. It also fills the gap in seals and keeps seals in good condition.
What about High Mileage Motor Oil?
Multi-Flo has a High Mileage formulation. This was developed for motors that have wear typical of 75,000 miles of service, or more. This is a special blend of base oils with a seal conditioning agent, extra cleaning agents, and friction modifiers. It minimizes compression loss, improves engine performance and reduces oil burn-off. It also contains proprietary additives for superior wear protection and to reduce harmful deposits common in higher mileage engines.
Super S High Mileage Motor Oil meets the requirements of API SM, SL and SJ. Available in bulk only.
How Often Should I Change My Motor Oil?
Two factors determine when you should change oil: when it loses its ability to protect your motor and when the filter no longer removes harmful particles and contaminants from the oil. You may not see it or notice it right away, but critical damage is happening to your engine when the oil and filter aren’t changed at the recommended regular intervals.
The most wear occurs when you start your engine, especially cold starts. It takes time to foil to flow up and about all of the moving parts. Multi-Flo is specially formulated to reduce this type of wear, helping to extend the life of your engine. But, you must regularly maintain your oil and filter to realize that protection.
Oil
Most auto manufacturers recommend changing oil every 3,000 miles. This is a safe average for normal driving under normal conditions. At this point contaminants have built up and additives have been depleted and/or broken down so the oil is no longer protecting your engine and the additives have lost their effectiveness. The rate of wear will increase and damage will occur.
Oil Filter
Install a new filter when you change oil. Most good filters will work up to about 4,000 miles under normal conditions, and then the filter media is filled up with the contaminants it removes from the oil. Once the filter fills up it stops filtering. The filter goes into a bypass mode so oil will continue to flow, but so will all the garbage in your oil – and it will flow right through your motor and slowly destroy it.
Changing your oil and filter every 3,000 miles helps to insure the best protection and longest life for your engine.
What about Synthetic Motor Oil?
Consider Super S SuperSyn Full Synthetic Motor Oils if your vehicle operates under extreme conditions – heavy loads, extended high rpm, extreme hot or cold temperatures, excessive start and stop – or when you want the ultimate protection for your engine.
Super S SuperSyn is a high performance 100% synthetic oil made to the same standards of quality as Multi-Flow.
About Base Oils, Additives and AQA ™
Base Oil
This is refined lubricating oil, straight from the refinery, the basic ingredient of motor oil. The quality, purity and composition is absolutely critical. But, to meet the AQA Standards for Multi-Flo, multiple base oils are repeatedly tested, combined and tested again until an ideal base oil is created. This process alone sets Multi-Flo apart from other motor oils.
Additives
Special chemicals and compounds are blended with base oil to further improve or modify certain characteristics of the oil. Other compounds give motor oil additional properties. The specific blend of chemicals and compounds is called an Additive Package and includes, among other things, antiwear, extreme pressure and anti-foaming agents, dispersants, detergents, seal conditioners, and viscosity and friction modifiers. The Super S Multi-Flo Additive Package is an extensive and advanced formulation providing superior performance and protection for your engine.
API and ILSAC Certifications
Super S Motor Oils are licensed to show the API and ILSAC certification marks.
“An oil displaying the ILSAC certification starburst mark meets the current engine protection standard and fuel economy requirements of the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC), a joint effort of U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers. Most automobile manufacturers recommend oils that carry the API Certification Mark.
“API’s Service Symbol and Certification Mark identify quality engine oils for gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles. Oils displaying these marks meet performance requirements set by U.S. and international vehicle and engine manufacturers and the lubricant industry. More than 500 companies worldwide participate in this voluntary program, which is backed by a marketplace sampling and testing program.”
