Spring has brought the season of agricultural, garden and country work. Every careful owner of garden equipment selects materials for its servicing and operation with care. The YUKO brand range includes oils and greases for any 2T and 4T units… 2T and 4T units: from chainsaws and trimmers to walk-behind tractors and garden tractors. Modern YUKO oils and greases will help you protect your expensive equipment and keep it running flawlessly and efficiently.
So what special requirements distinguish oils for 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines, and what causes them?
First, the engine cooling and lubrication system, where oil is delivered to the friction surfaces together with the flow of the air-fuel mixture.
Second, the special operating conditions, namely frequent changes in engine speed (from 5,000 to 15,000 rpm) and varying load patterns.
Third, environmental requirements for safety and biodegradability.
Oils for two-stroke (2T) equipment.
Two-stroke equipment is the most common type used on private farms and smallholdings.
Particularly important characteristics are:
-
adhesion to the lubricated surface to prevent washing off by the fuel mixture;
-
high anti-scuff properties;
-
thermal stability and low evaporation when heated, because 2T these engines run the “hottest”;
-
excellent solubility in the fuel-air mixture;
-
compliance with API TC standards.
The YUKO range includes 2 oils for two-stroke garden equipment:
Mineral – YUKO MOTOMIX 2T and semi-synthetic – YUKO SUPER SYNT 2T Green Garden.
Oils for four-stroke (4T) equipment.
Used in the lubrication systems of modern four-stroke engines in garden and landscaping equipment and power machinery: cultivators, generators, motor pumps, snow blowers and other 4-stroke equipment. As a rule, 4T this equipment is used for heavier work and is put under load without engine “warm-up.” That is why, for 4T oil, the following characteristics are especially important:
-
High oil film stability and wear resistance under extreme loads;
-
High thermal stability;
-
Resistance to carbon and deposit formation;
-
Minimal exhaust smoke and toxicity;
– Viscosity classification SAE 30, 10W30, 10W40 depending on the season and the manufacturer's requirements;
– API quality class of SF/CC or higher.
All YUKO 4T oils meet the API SL/CF quality class and JASO MA2 T903:2011 (the Japanese standard for motorcycle equipment). The range includes both a seasonal mineral oil YUKO MASTER 4T SAE 30, and a semi-synthetic – YUKO MASTER SYNT 4T 10W-30.
For lubricating chainsaw chains and bars on chainsaws with manual and automatic lubrication systems (Stihl, Bosch, Black & Decker, Husqvarna and others), an oil is used YUKO PILAN (ISO 100), which is characterized by the following properties:
-
high penetration and adhesion (prevents oil fling-off);
-
fluidity for easy pumping;
-
excellent anti-scuff properties to prevent seizing.
Designed to ensure optimal pressure in the compressor system and proper wear protection under extreme loads.
For vehicle-mounted compressors and for household and industrial compressors, an all-season compressor oil is used YUKO VDL 100.
For lubricating bearings, gearboxes and other components of garden equipment, a wide choice of universal and specialty greases is available.
Modern YUKO lubricants meet 100% of the needs for servicing, storing and operating garden equipment and comply with international standards and equipment manufacturers' requirements. The high quality and optimal prices of YUKO products have already earned due recognition from our international partners in more than 50 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa and the CIS. We are confident you will appreciate them too!
