Is Engine Oil Seal Leakage Serious?
1 Answers
Engine oil seal leakage is not serious and is a common phenomenon. Below are the relevant details about engine maintenance: 1. Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade: For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard being no lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. 2. Regularly change the engine oil and filter: The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level (generally at the upper limit of the oil dipstick). When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination.
