Is it harmful to add half a liter more engine oil?
1 Answers
Impact: It can easily create greater resistance to the crankshaft's rotation, thereby affecting the engine's power output and increasing fuel consumption. Reduced power output and increased fuel consumption: The crankshaft in a car engine requires lubricant for smooth rotation. However, if too much oil is added and the crankshaft is submerged in oil, it will cause excessive resistance during rotation, leading to reduced power output and higher fuel consumption. Accelerated aging of many internal components: When too much engine oil is added, the pressure between various internal parts of the car increases significantly. Frequent use under such high pressure can accelerate the aging of these components. Particularly for the crankshaft oil seal, excessive pressure and severe aging can result in oil leaks.
