Advantages Of ZDDP Oil Treatment

By Stephen Robinson


Oil is the life blood of an engine. More like the human body needs proper nutrition, so does a car engine. Without proper protection with the zddp oil treatment, they tend to fall age and wear therefore reduced their efficiency and performance. The amount of ZDDP concentration in the oil depends with the age of the engine and the performance. High performance engines like rally cars call for more lubrication and protection than normal use engines.

The treated oils have better anti-wear properties compared to the normal oils. The treated oils have added zinc compounds that help protect the engine internal parts from wear and aging. The heavy metal, zinc under high pressures in contact areas coat the points avoiding the wear of metal. This helps increase engines and engine parts durability.

The treated oil that has the zinc compound provides better lubrication to the engine moving parts than plain mineral or synthetic oil. Under pressure, the normal oil would breakdown and be lighter in density. But when the zinc dialkydiothiophosphate is added, the density increases and makes the oil more effective under the contact pressure of the moving parts. It also has the zinc metal that acts as the sacrificial wear material and it saves actual metal parts from wearing off.

Friction is the opposing force between two moving parts. This contact parts tend to make a sharp noise while moving which may be unpleasant to the ear. It is therefore important to reduce if not eliminate the noises for the health and safety of human ears. Denser lubricating oils offers the required thickness in between the contact surfaces thus helping reduce the noise and achieving a quieter engine operation.

Oil burns at a point called flush point. At this point due to heat and pressure, it is capable of bursting into a flame and burning. In order to increase both the pressure and temperature of an oil to flush, the treatment makes the oil stabilize at high temperature and avoid thermal breakdown. It also helps raise the viscosity of oil in order to avoid vaporization at very low temperatures.

Corrosion is a chemical process where metals decay. One of the reasons oils are used for lubrication is because they do not support metal corrosion. Since many engine parts are made by steel which is susceptible to rusting, the oils act as guard to inhabit that chemical process. They therefore play a big role in avoiding corrosion of the machine parts. The denser oils usually have better properties of guarding against the corrosion of engine parts.

The cost of treatment of oils with ZDDP is very small since the process itself was discovered in the 1940s where technological advancement was not that advanced. Therefore, it is easier even today to come up with much better and improved treated oils that have been tested and it would be much cheaper. The oils are also produced from a byproduct of crude oil that is easy to acquire and so is zinc metal because it is available in abundance in the earth crust.

The zinc dialkydiothiophosphate acts like an anti oxidant in the lubricating oils. It inhibits the oxidation of the oil by air or any other compounds that would lead to formation of new chemicals in the oil. This helps avoid the catastrophic failure or engine knocking due to poor lubrication.

By Anthony Harris There are various guesthouses that maintaining the standards of cleanliness of the ambiance of their rooms. Many owners and administrations have set housework time for all the linens inside the establishments.
