How Often Should the Lubrication System Be Cleaned?
1 Answers
The lubrication system generally needs to be cleaned every 20,000 kilometers driven. The cleaning interval may vary depending on the type of oil used: 1. If mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil is used for an extended period, the cleaning interval should be appropriately shortened. 2. For high-quality full synthetic oil, the cleaning interval can be extended to around 25,000 kilometers. Additional Information: 1. The design of the lubrication system depends on the characteristics and operating conditions of various mechanical equipment. It typically consists of several key components such as hydraulic pumps, oil tanks, filters, cooling devices, heating devices, sealing devices, buffer devices, safety devices, and alarms. 2. The function of the lubrication system is to deliver a specified amount of clean lubricating oil to the surfaces of moving parts to achieve liquid friction, reduce frictional resistance, and minimize wear. It also cleans and cools the surfaces of the components. The lubrication system usually includes oil passages, oil pumps, oil filters, and some valves.
