Kunlun Offers Tips on Choosing Engine Oil for the Hot Summer

In the heat of summer, choosing the right lubricant has become one of the key maintenance topics for car owners. How to keep the engine clean for a long time and reduce wear to the greatest extent has become the main question when choosing a lubricant. Below, Kunlun Lubricants explains how to select an oil in summer so that your car stays clean and durable.
In China, vehicles are used for many years and drive on complex road networks, so deposits such as carbon, varnish and sludge form more easily inside the engine. If they are not cleaned away in time they grow larger and more numerous, and once they exceed the engine's tolerance limits they cause early engine wear, shorten engine life, and in serious cases lead to mechanical failures such as cylinder scoring and bearing seizure. Many owners are aware of these problems, yet they often fall into a trap when choosing lubricants, believing that the most expensive product or a foreign brand must be the best. In fact, among the many lubricant brands on the market today, the quality of many leading domestic brands is also very good — even better than “foreign oil” — and their prices are more favorable.
Kunlun Lubricants passenger-car oil — the Tianrun series
As a representative of well-known domestic lubricant brands, Kunlun Lubricants has for many years relied on its understanding of China's national conditions and consumers to create Kunlun Tianrun high-end passenger-car oil for vehicles driven on Chinese roads, and brought it to market in upgraded new packaging in April this year. The new Tianrun uses carefully selected high-quality synthetic base oils to keep the engine in an excellent lubricating state at all times and offers outstanding “anti-wear” performance; bench tests show that its cam wear is far better than the API/ILAC and national standards. Kunlun Tianrun's excellent high-temperature lubricity, detergency and dispersancy, and low-temperature sludge dispersancy are likewise superior to the API/ILAC and national standards, effectively preventing the formation of carbon deposits and varnish. In addition, faced with China's serious environmental pollution, the new Tianrun's unique environmentally friendly formulation technology lowers the product's sulfur and phosphorus content, extends the service life of exhaust after-treatment devices, reduces fuel consumption and cuts polluting emissions. The lasting lubrication provided by Kunlun Tianrun effectively guarantees that the engine stays durable and clean.
To keep your car durably lubricated, special attention must also be paid to the grade and viscosity of the oil, because choosing the wrong product can easily damage the engine. Many owners believe that in summer a higher-viscosity, higher-grade lubricant is always better, and this belief is equally mistaken. Owners should choose the oil that best suits their vehicle according to the ambient temperature range in which the lubricant is used, the engine temperature, and the different models and grades of the vehicle.
The Kunlun Tianrun KR9–KR6 series covers the main levels of the API SJ to SN quality grades. Tailored to different models — from economical Xiali and BYD cars to high-end Volkswagen Touareg and Chrysler, and on to Porsche, Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz and BMW luxury cars — it provides comprehensive lubricating protection. In addition, the Kunlun Tianrun KR6-G series is designed specifically for passenger-car engines that run on CNG or LPG, or on dual-fuel gasoline/LPG or compressed natural gas/gasoline systems, and is especially suitable for urban cars and city gas taxis. In terms of viscosity grades, Tianrun includes the main levels such as 0W-40, 5W-30, 15W-40 and 20W-50, meeting the demands China's extremely cold and extremely hot weather places on lubricants.
With its strong scientific research strength and technical level, Kunlun Lubricants continuously renews and upgrades its automotive lubricant products. Facing the arrival of the hot summer, the newly upgraded Kunlun Tianrun series of high-end automotive oils provides comprehensive engine lubrication through features such as super anti-wear performance, powerful cleaning, high- and low-temperature protection, and energy saving and environmental protection.
