How much engine oil should be added to a Volvo S60L?
1 Answers
Volvo S60L requires 3.6L of engine oil per refill, and the oil should not be overfilled. Automotive lubricants are categorized into mineral lubricants, synthetic lubricants, semi-synthetic lubricants, etc. Most commercially available synthetic oils contain less than 12% PAO. Below is relevant information about lubricants: 1. Lubricants are formulated from hydrocarbons refined from natural gas and crude oil. There is no strict international definition for synthetic oil, but generally, lubricants containing PAO are referred to as synthetic oil. Full synthetic oil is blended with 100% PAO as the base oil along with additives. The extremely stable molecular structure of full synthetic oil provides superior oxidation stability and outstanding anti-wear performance, effectively extending engine life. 2. Semi-synthetic and mineral lubricants are generally suitable for average users. Both laboratory and road tests show that this full synthetic oil ideally combines viscosity, lubrication, volatility, and cleanliness, maximizing engine protection while minimizing friction and fuel consumption. 3. The oil level should be maintained between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Excessive oil can enter the combustion chamber through the gap between the cylinder and piston, forming carbon deposits. These deposits increase the engine's compression ratio and the likelihood of knocking. Carbon deposits in the cylinder, when red-hot, can also cause pre-ignition. If they enter the cylinder, they can accelerate wear on the cylinder and piston and further contaminate the lubricant.
