Kunlun Lubricants Keeps Your Car from Guzzling Fuel in Winter

After the New Year of 2015, temperatures gradually entered the bitter cold periods of the third and fourth nine-day spells. At this time, many car owners notice that even without using the air conditioner, fuel consumption is considerably higher than usual. Many owners know that part of the reason lies in the low early-morning temperatures and the longer warm-up time, but what they may not know is that whether a car's fuel consumption is on the high side in winter is also closely related to the choice of engine lubricant.
We all know that engine lubricant is a liquid, and in a lower-temperature environment its density increases and its fluidity worsens, especially for oils whose viscosity is already high. Once fluidity deteriorates it hinders the engine's operation; if the engine is to reach its normal working state it must reach a certain temperature to increase the oil's fluidity, and in that case the running time has to lengthen, and fuel consumption naturally increases as well.
In this regard, Kunlun Lubricants' automotive maintenance experts advise that in winter, family cars should preferably use lubricant products with good overall performance, low viscosity, high fluidity and anti-wear properties, since only then can they continuously provide good lubrication to the car engine. For a vehicle whose engine is in good condition, an oil with relatively low viscosity should be used as far as possible — such as 0W-40, 5W-40 and 10W-40 — so that the lubricant flows faster and wear during start-up is reduced.
Backed by Kunlun Lubricants' strong scientific research strength, the Kunlun Tianrun high-grade passenger-car series of lubricant products are high-quality oils with excellent overall performance that effectively ensure a car runs normally in winter.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the super anti-wear capability of the Kunlun Tianrun high-grade passenger-car series of lubricants effectively prevents engine wear and extends engine service life. At the same time, its excellent low-temperature fluidity allows it to reach the surfaces of friction pairs quickly during cold starts, reducing excessive fuel consumption while avoiding wear.
In summary, with the arrival of winter more attention must be paid to caring for one's car, especially to maintaining the engine and changing in good time to an engine lubricant suited to winter use, so as to reduce the wear and fuel consumption low temperatures bring to the engine. In addition, tire pressure and tread wear should be checked frequently, spark plugs replaced in good time, and prolonged high-speed driving avoided as much as possible; do all this, and the “high fuel consumption” problem of winter will no longer trouble car owners.
