Most users are still paying attention to the engine capacity (“engine dots”) to draw conclusions about the car’s performance. Do these important “dots” determine a strong and durable journey?

The number of “dots” on the engine such as 1.6, 2.0, 3.0 represents the volume or working capacity of the engine, usually calculated in Liters (L) or Cubic Centimeters (cc). The larger this number is, the larger the capacity, making the engine produce more work. Invisibly, these large numbers make many people assign the role of completely determining a powerful engine.

Is there a suitable number of “dots”?

Car manufacturers produce many different engine sizes depending on the requirements of each vehicle line, accordingly, the capacity versions are born to suit each engine. However, today, with the continuous development and improvement of technology, the capacity of internal combustion engines can be reduced, instead, new factors are born such as turbochargers, intelligent control systems, natural aspiration… will play a role in affecting the performance.

Engine capacity is a factor that many car owners are interested in when choosing to buy a car.

A car engine is made up of many complex parts. For example, the connecting rod is the bridge to transmit force from the piston to the crankshaft. If this connecting rod is designed to be longer, the work will be more but it will take time to transmit force, which explains why racing cars can run fast but the ability to overcome passes or difficult terrain is almost very low. Therefore, choosing a suitable number of “dots” also depends on the purpose of use.

Not only the number of “dots”

Understanding the operating mechanism, how to ensure that when starting and operating the engine, the parts are absolutely protected, coordinated smoothly, thereby optimizing the ability of each machine part? The answer lies in taking care of them, do not rush to think that a large number of “dots” will make the car powerful if you do not maintain it properly and change the oil regularly.

A premium lubricant product that applies advanced technology, suitable for the majority of 4-wheel vehicles from Europe, including Motul 8100 X-max 0W40, is a 100% synthetic lubricant that meets the most stringent requirements of OEMs: MB-Approval 229.5, PORSCHE A40, VW 502 00 – 505 00, FORD WSS M2C 937 A, BMW Long-Life 01, FIAT 9.55535-Z2… SAE 0W-40 viscosity grade helps reduce friction, allowing fuel economy, especially when operating in cold temperatures. In addition, it also helps improve oil circulation when starting, helping to quickly increase oil pressure, rpm and quickly reach operating temperature.

Motul 8100 X-max 0W40 – 100% synthetic engine oil that meets all the strict requirements of OEMs.

It can be seen that when choosing a car, do not just focus entirely on the “dots” or parameters on the engine, forgetting the steps to properly care for the car can also cause the car to deteriorate and not meet the original purpose of use.
