1 Answers
Oil change intervals vary depending on the type of oil. Generally, mineral oil should be changed every six months or 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every six months or 7,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Introduction to Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Composition of Engine Oil: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties. Additives are used to compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, as well as to impart new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.
