Human life is about 80 years old in Japan, isn't it? But what about "cars"?

In order to extend the life of your car and ride it for a long time, it is important to prolong the life of the engine, which is also called the "heart of the car."

I would like to introduce "important things to make the engine last longer," which is also a ritual for getting your car to become your own.

2. How to make the engine longer life

"Replacement of oil and oil filter" is the key to making the engine longer life.

Oil is doing a role in lubrication and cooling in the engine, and an oil filter (also known as an oil element) is doing a role in filtering oil stains and dust, which is very important for the proper functioning of the engine.

Therefore, if the oil and oil filter deteriorate, it will cause an engine failure, and in the worst case, the car will not run.

>> 1st and 2nd exchange

Whether I buy a new car or a used one, I change the oil and oil filter as soon as the car is delivered. And after running about 500km, change the oil and oil filter again.

Many people may wonder, "Well, it's a waste." "Why do you replace it again?", But I don't know what kind of oil is in it or how it was used in a used car.

In addition, replace the air filter for used cars and the spark plug for motorcycles.

At the same time, the learning function "battery terminal" that learns the driver's habits and daily usage and applies corrections is removed once. By resetting the battery terminal, you can quickly learn your favorite driving.

>> 3rd exchange

And the third oil change is done by judging the familiarity between the oil and the engine from the state at the time of the second oil change, so after driving 500 km. As a guideline, the distance is about 3,000 to 5,000 km.

Now the car or motorcycle is yours!

You will learn how to step on your accelerator, the environment in which you will use it, and your habits, and you will become your favorite car.

Subsequent oil changes are "5,000-10,000km" or "one year later".

If you want to keep driving your car for a long time, we recommend "genuine designated oil" instead of cheap oil.

Of course, change the oil filter at the same time as changing the oil.

3. Things to worry about when changing oil and oil filter

"Where should I change the oil?"

"How long does it take?"

"How much is the price?"

I'm still worried about the time and price.

It is common to replace it at a car accessory store such as AUTOBACS, a gas station, or a dealer. The working time is as short as about 30 minutes, and the cost you care about is about 2,000 to 6,000 Japanese yens (please note that it depends on the model!).

When replacing the oil filter, it is common to check the compatibility table provided by the staff of the dealer or car supply store and use the genuine manufacturer's product.

4. Summary

I introduced what I always do about changing oil and oil filters!

I'm sure some of you may have different ideas about caring for your engine, but this is my recommended method.

Please try it!

1. Review from tire knowledge

2. About break-in of tires

1. It started 13 years ago 

We established the "Tomizawa Fund" in 2007 and started a business.

However, the year after the establishment, the financial crisis provided an opportunity to transform the business, and I was thinking about how to restart it.

At that time, I visited Asian countries for the first time in a long time since I was a student.
A large number of cars and motorcycles ran around the city, and when I saw the stagnant sky, I was shocked by the transformation.

It definitely causes health problems such as asthma in children, and I thought, "If nothing is done, there will be not only the city but aloso the global environment will only deteriorate ".

Governments and automakers in each country are working to reduce emissions by developing new cars, but they have not taken effective solutions against sold cars that run every day.

Furthermore, in developing countries, the quality of gasoline is poor and it is difficult to buy expensive genuine parts, so maintenance will be performed with inexpensive parts. Then the engine combustion gets worse and the exhaust gas just increases.

2. Finally to the development of "AdPower"

Therefore, I started research and development with the thought, "Is there a breakthrough solution to reduce exhaust gas for automobiles around the world?"

My inexperienced in the automobile industry, on the other hnad, made it possible to think from various perspectives without being bound by preconceived ideas.

This is because, until now, in order to reduce exhaust gas, it was common knowledge to collect exhaust gas after combustion in the engine combustion chamber with a DPF (diesel particulate filter). However, the high cost of the equipment and the need for work at automobile repair garage to install it have been major obstacles to its widespread use, especially in developing countries.

Therefore, I changed my mind and thought that it might be possible to promote combustion and reduce the amount of exhaust gas emitted, and started research on after-parts that improve engine combustion.

Until we achieved at the basic technology of AdPower, we investigated the advantages of various raw materials, and it was a "continuous trial and error" such as how to install and the shape of the product.

For example, the fiberglass used in the third layer is made using other materials, and a running test, engine output test, exhaust gas check ... This process is repeated every time the raw material or composition is changed.

These days have been going on for over a year.

3. Gradually recognize "AdPower"

Since then, as a result of steadily accumulating the "AdPower movement", it has gradually come to be recognized.

Finally, two years later, in 2017, I got the long-sought patent ↓ ↓ ↓

Furthermore, we were adopted the 2017 manufacturing subsidy, it was selected as one of the 10 achievement casebooks ↓ ↓ ↓

4. AdPower breaks common sense

Of course, obtaining a patent is not our goal. To reduce emissions around the world, we must take steps for each and every car in the world that is already running. And now the world is clearly experiencing air pollution and global warming, and there is no waiting.

With AdPower, the installation is very easy and low cost. I am convinced that this small seal-laminate is a reasonable way to recover engine performance, reduce emissions by 20-50% and prevent global warming.

The current goal is "to reduce the world's exhaust gas and contribute to the long life of my car." Tomizawa & Co., Ltd. will continue its efforts to make it happen.

Please look forward to the big innovation of cars created by Tomizawa & Co., Ltd.
