How to Determine if Gasoline Has Entered the Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Methods to determine if gasoline has entered the engine oil include: 1. Low oil pressure; 2. Thinning of the oil; 3. A gasoline smell when pulling out the oil dipstick; 4. An increase in oil level. Engine oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, prevents rust, and dissipates heat in the engine. During engine operation, the oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact and friction between them. If engine components directly contact and rub against each other, it can accelerate engine wear and lead to overheating. Prolonged operation of the engine in an overheated state can result in cylinder scuffing.
