Does Storing Engine Oil in the Trunk in Summer Have Any Impact?
1 Answers
Storing engine oil in the trunk during summer has no impact. Engine oil is heat-resistant, as the engine operates at around 100 degrees Celsius, while the temperature in the trunk is far below this level. Engine oil is not classified as a hazardous material and is not flammable, so it does not need to comply with hazardous material transportation and storage regulations and can be safely stored in the trunk. However, lubricants are still chemical products, so safe storage and transportation should be ensured to avoid environmental pollution. Below is some related information about engine oil: Properties of Lubricating Oil: Firstly, it does not have flammable characteristics and can only be classified as a combustible material. Secondly, it does not have strong corrosiveness; it is not highly volatile; it does not have packaging difficulties; and it does not have storage or transportation challenges. Functions of Engine Oil: Engine oil has a lubricating effect. There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the crankshaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of the relatively sliding parts.
