Are High-Imitation Engine Oils Fake Engine Oils?
1 Answers
High-imitation engine oils are indeed fake engine oils. Below is relevant information about engine oils: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide cushioning and shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil. 2. Classification: Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oil (vegetable oils are not considered due to their scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic oils.
