Why use Lubricant?

Lubricants are generally used to reduce friction and transfer heat. They are essential to the proper functioning of any system requiring lubrication.

Yacco lubricants are designed to increase both engine output by reducing friction and mechanical durability by reducing wear. Through their detergent and dispersant components, Yacco lubricants keep the engine clean in order to ensure its proper functioning.

Additives antioxidants in Yacco lubes also deliver protection of the engine against corrosion. Last, lubricants help cooling the parts which cannot be cooled by a coolant product used for a given movement.

What is the viscosity of a lubricant

The viscosity of a Yacco lubricant represents its resistance to flow. High viscosity forms a thick layer that separates moving parts and thus increases the protection of mechanical parts. Lower viscosity reduces friction and thus helps save the energy used for a given movement.

Viscosity is often referred to as grades or classes defined by standards. Thus, ISO VG grades are widely used in the industry and SAE grades in the automotive sector. Yacco lubricants are no exception to the rule: the degree of viscosity of the lube presented is indicated on every Yacco lubricants' product information sheet.
