How Long Will It Take for Problems to Appear After Using Fake Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Using fake engine oil may not show immediate effects, but problems and malfunctions are likely to occur after about six months or longer. Below are some related details about engine oil: 1. Identifying Genuine vs. Fake: (1) Packaging: Genuine engine oil packaging is very neat, without rough edges, and the box color is bright. In contrast, fake oil packaging is rough and dull in color. Additionally, many genuine engine oil packages have special manufacturer marks, so be sure to inspect carefully when purchasing. (2) Appearance: Genuine oil is transparent in color, free of impurities and sediment. Fake oil usually has a darker sheen and may contain impurities or sediment. 2. Precautions: Low-quality oil can cause the engine to overheat. Engine oil has a relatively low specific heat capacity and does not inherently cool the engine. However, during engine operation, the oil absorbs heat generated by fuel combustion and transfers it back to the oil tank, where it dissipates into the air, aiding the radiator in cooling the engine. Poor-quality oil struggles to transfer heat effectively, making the engine prone to overheating and reducing its lifespan.
