At what percentage of oil life should it be replaced?
2 Answers
Generally, engine oil is not replaced based on a certain percentage but rather according to the mileage driven. Typically, it should be replaced every 5,000 kilometers. Below is more information about engine oil: 1. Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. 2. Performance: Lubricity: The ability of engine oil to reduce friction, minimize wear, and prevent metal sintering under various conditions is referred to as its lubricity. Low-temperature operability: This includes facilitating cold starts and reducing wear during startup. Viscosity-temperature characteristics: The property of engine oil to change viscosity with temperature fluctuations is known as its viscosity-temperature characteristics.
