How much engine oil for a 1.5L engine?
1 Answers
1.5L engines require 3.5 to 4.5 liters of engine oil. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics. These mainly include anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. The primary functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, remove sludge and varnish from the engine, neutralize acids produced by fuel combustion and lubricant oxidation, improve piston ring sealing, and cool the engine by dissipating heat from moving components.
