Can Poor Engine Oil Increase Fuel Consumption?
1 Answers
Poor engine oil can increase fuel consumption. There is a relationship between engine oil and vehicle fuel consumption. Below is a detailed introduction about engine oil: Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is called Engine-oil in English. Its density is approximately 0.91×10 (kg/m). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide cushioning and shock absorption for the engine. Composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties. Additives compensate for and improve the deficiencies in the base oil's performance, granting it certain new characteristics, making them an important part of the lubricant.
