How much engine oil should be added during maintenance?
1 Answers
During maintenance, the amount of engine oil should be between the upper and lower limit points, and should not exceed the upper limit point. When the oil in the engine oil pan is insufficient, the friction between bearings and journals and other components will cause poor lubrication due to insufficient oil, which will aggravate the wear of various engine components. If there is too much oil, it will not only increase the power loss inside the engine, but also cause more oil to splash onto the cylinder wall, leading to oil burning and exhaust faults. Engine oil is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers.
