Generally, 1 liter of engine oil weighs approximately between 0.85-0.93 kg. Different types of engine oil have varying densities, so an exact value cannot be provided. Typically, the density of engine oil is 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). Using this density for calculation, the mass of 1 liter of engine oil is approximately 0.91 kg. Functions of Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves several purposes for the engine, including lubrication and wear reduction, aiding in cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. Different brands and models of engine oil have different densities, so the weight calculated for one liter of oil may vary. Engine Oil Replacement Interval: Generally, mineral oil should be replaced every six months or 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every six months or 7,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil every six months or 10,000 kilometers.
