How Much Oil Should Be Added to the Range Extender?
1 Answers
The amount of oil added should generally be at the midpoint between the upper and lower limits on the oil dipstick. During driving, the car's oil may leak due to bumps, so it should not be overfilled. Consequences of overfilling engine oil: Power reduction: If too much oil is added, it may enter the combustion chamber while driving, increasing carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, raising piston movement resistance, and reducing engine power. Environmental non-compliance: Overfilling oil can worsen exhaust emissions, severely affecting the lifespan of the catalytic converter, and may also cause the vehicle to fail annual inspections. The functions of engine oil are: Reducing wear, cycling carbon deposits, sludge, and metal wear particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, and flushing dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil.
