How Long Does It Take to Change Engine Oil?
1 Answers
The replacement interval for engine oil is between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers or every six months to a year. 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. Use a jack to lift the vehicle. 2. Drain the old oil. 3. Remove the oil filter. 4. Install a new oil filter and refill with new oil.
