How Long Can You Drive When the Car's Engine Oil is Only 30% Left?
2 Answers
When the car's engine oil is only 30% left, you can drive approximately 3000 kilometers. Below is a detailed introduction about car engine oil: 1. Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is referred to as Engine-oil in English. Its density is approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, endowing it with certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.
As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I'm very familiar with oil issues. When the oil level drops to just 30%, it's equivalent to a very low oil level, putting tremendous stress on the engine. This stuff lubricates engine components, preventing overheating and friction wear. If you drive for too long, like in city traffic jams, the engine temperature can spike quickly, and it might not last more than 100 kilometers before problems arise. I've seen cases where owners delayed action and ended up with a ruined engine, costing a fortune for major repairs. Factors include driving habits, road conditions, and vehicle condition, but the basic rule is to stop immediately for inspection or refill. Make it a habit to regularly check the oil level with a dipstick to avoid trouble. If all else fails, drive to the nearest repair shop as soon as possible—safety first.
