1 Answers
Mineral engine oil generally needs to be changed every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months. Engine oil is divided into three types: full synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil, and mineral oil. Among them, full synthetic oil should be changed every 10,000 kilometers or 1 year, while semi-synthetic oil should be changed every 7,500 kilometers or 7 to 8 months. The method for changing engine oil is as follows: 1. Use a jack to lift the vehicle, locate the drain plug, and loosen it to drain the oil; 2. Remove the oil filter and place a container underneath it; 3. Replace with a new oil filter and add new engine oil. The functions of engine oil include: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Cooling and lowering temperature; 3. Cleaning and purifying; 4. Dampening vibrations; 5. Preventing rust and corrosion.
