1 Answers
Here are the criteria for identifying whether engine oil has deteriorated: 1. Observe the fluidity of the engine oil. 2. Smell the engine oil for any unusual odors. 3. Feel the texture of the engine oil by hand. 4. Use qualitative filter paper to determine. Here is relevant information about deteriorated engine oil: 1. When touching normal engine oil, it feels smooth and free of debris; deteriorated oil may contain metal shavings or impurities, making it feel rough and increasing friction. 2. If the engine oil has a pungent smell or a noticeable sour or foul odor, it can be determined as deteriorated oil. 3. Normal engine oil does not have a strong, irritating smell; it only has a mild, pleasant aroma.
