Does an oil change take 1 hour?
1 Answers
It takes about 1 hour. Here is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Oil viscosity (using 0W-20 as an example): (1) The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the engine starting characteristics of this oil. Using oil with a lower number before W makes it easier to start the engine in cold weather. (2) The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the oil's viscosity characteristics at high temperatures. If the vehicle is driven at high speeds or under extremely heavy load conditions, it is more suitable to use oil with higher viscosity (higher viscosity number). 2. Oil selection: Naturally aspirated engines generally use ordinary quality oil, which can be mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil, while those with larger budgets can use fully synthetic oil. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate in harsher conditions, requiring higher-grade lubricants with better fluidity, preferably fully synthetic oil.
