Does adding too much engine oil cause damage to the car?
1 Answers
Adding too much engine oil can cause damage to the car, leading to reduced engine power output. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts and reduce wear; 2. To carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and wear particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Remove the engine oil filter; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug at the oil pan to drain the oil; 3. Reinstall the oil drain plug; 4. Tighten the screw, pour the new oil into the engine, and install the oil filter.
