1 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz E300 requires approximately 8 liters of engine oil for an oil change. It is advisable to check the oil level after adding the oil. Overfilling the engine oil can affect the normal operation of the crankshaft and may also lead to increased fuel consumption. When the crankshaft journal moves to the bottom dead center, it can come into contact with the oil, creating resistance. Here is some related information about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of about 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves multiple functions such as lubricating and reducing friction, assisting in cooling, sealing against leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and acting as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while the additives help compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, providing additional benefits. Additives are an essential part of engine oil.
