Can butter be used as a substitute for engine oil?
1 Answers
Butter cannot be used as a substitute for engine oil. Butter has poor lubrication effects at low temperatures. Without proper lubrication at low temperatures, machinery can easily develop issues. Choosing engine oil: Naturally aspirated engines have relatively general requirements for oil quality and can use mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil. If the car owner has a higher budget, fully synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate in harsher conditions, requiring higher-performance engine oil with better fluidity. Fully synthetic oil is recommended. Brand selection: For choosing a lubricant brand, if you prioritize long-lasting oil performance, Mobil lubricants can be selected; if you value the oil's engine-cleaning capabilities, Shell engine oil is recommended; for lubricants requiring strong oil film toughness, Castrol can be chosen. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, so Shell engine oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be selected.
