1 Answers
For a three-cylinder BMW X1 during maintenance, approximately 4 liters of engine oil should be added. Both excessive and insufficient amounts of engine oil can have certain impacts on the engine. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, endowing it with certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function of engine oil: Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce wear in the engine, assist in cooling and temperature reduction, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption and buffering. It is hailed as the 'blood' of the car. Choosing the right engine oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its service life. 2. Selection of engine oil: The choice of engine oil is not about selecting the most expensive one but rather about choosing the right engine oil based on the characteristics of the car's engine and usual driving habits. It can be categorized by the type of oil used in winter and summer. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, there's no need to select an oil with a better low-temperature viscosity grade.
