Can I add engine oil by myself?
1 Answers
You can add engine oil by yourself as long as you use the same brand and specification as the original oil. It is essential to select the identical brand and batch for addition. If the engine is burning oil or leaking oil, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop for maintenance and repair as soon as possible. Do not let minor issues escalate into major problems. Other precautions for adding engine oil: Higher viscosity does not necessarily mean better engine protection. High-viscosity oil not only adversely affects overall fuel consumption but also fails to protect the engine effectively. Another function of engine oil is cooling and heat dissipation. When high-viscosity oil is used indiscriminately, the engine's heat dissipation performance will inevitably weaken. Do not mix different engine oils: The additive components in oils from different manufacturers vary entirely. The chemical compositions of these additives differ not only between brands but also within the same brand's different product lines. Mixing oils from two brands can cause chemical reactions under the engine's high temperature, such as the formation of flocculants in the oil or increased viscosity.
