Can motor oils be mixed?
1 Answers
Motor oils can be mixed, but it is not recommended for long-term use. If the mixing is done strictly according to the mixing principles, it will not have much impact on the car, but mixing different types of motor oils may cause turbidity. Introduction to motor oil: 1. Since different motor oils contain different chemical additives, these chemicals may react when mixed, reducing lubrication effectiveness and potentially forming acidic or alkaline compounds that accelerate corrosion of engine components. 2. Most motor oil dispersants and detergents use sulfonates, while some dispersants are salicylates, and these two types are incompatible. If two lubricants are mixed, phenomena such as layering, turbidity, and reduced cleaning capability may occur.
