How Many Kilometers Should You Drive Before Changing Car Engine Oil?
1 Answers
There are three types of engine oil, each with different replacement intervals: mineral oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers, and fully synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about these three types of engine oil: Mineral Oil: Mineral oil is a lubricant refined from petroleum and is currently the most common type of lubricant on the market. Semi-Synthetic Oil: It is a blend of mineral oil and fully synthetic oil. The purity of semi-synthetic oil is very close to that of fully synthetic oil, making it an ideal transitional product from mineral oil to synthetic oil. Fully Synthetic Oil: Fully synthetic oil contains only PAO or ester compounds, offering excellent chemical stability, good radiation resistance, high oil film strength, minimal foaming, superior lubrication, and reduced wear.
