Can Mobil Really Last 18,000 Kilometers?
1 Answers
Mobil can indeed last up to 18,000 kilometers, but this is highly dependent on the condition of the vehicle and the road conditions. The same oil will perform differently in a new car versus an old one. Therefore, the best oil for your vehicle is the one that suits it best, naturally allowing for longer mileage. Below are the functions of engine oil: 1. Friction Reduction: A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. 2. Sealing: Engine oil can form a seal between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering. 3. Rust Prevention: Lubricating oil adheres to the surface of parts, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 4. Cushioning: When the pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the piston, piston skirt, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings, this load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, cushioning the impact load. 5. Cleaning: Good engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation, washing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts through the flow of the lubricating oil.
