Does exceeding the maintenance mileage by a few hundred kilometers have any impact?
1 Answers
Yes, it has an impact. Exceeding the maintenance mileage for engine oil can lead to reduced oil fluidity and changes in viscosity properties. This results in insufficient lubrication for the engine, causing increased wear and higher fuel consumption. Opting for high-quality engine oil (such as full synthetic or imported GT engine oil) can offer better cost performance and extend the maintenance interval. Below are more related details: Car maintenance considerations: 1. In addition to checking the tires, it's essential to pay special attention to the concentration of the engine oil during seasonal maintenance. It is recommended that car owners consider seasonal changes when selecting engine oil, as the viscosity of oil changes with temperature—higher in winter and lower in summer. 2. Therefore, in hotter regions and seasons, it's advisable to choose engine oil with slightly higher viscosity. Conversely, during colder weather and temperature changes, oil with lower viscosity can be used.
