How Much Engine Oil is Normal to Add?
1 Answers
Maintain the oil level between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. Disadvantages of overfilling oil: 1. Increased fuel consumption: When the engine cylinder block is overfilled with oil, it creates unnecessary resistance to the crankshaft's rotation, affecting power output and increasing fuel consumption. 2. Reduced power: Excessive oil entering the combustion chamber leads to more carbon deposits, increasing piston movement resistance and reducing engine power. 3. Environmental non-compliance: Worsens exhaust emissions, severely affecting the lifespan of the catalytic converter, and may even directly damage it. 4. Oil leakage: Reduces the lifespan of oil seals and may cause engine oil leaks.
