Gasoline generators do not require adding engine oil to the gasoline. Overview of automotive engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (Engine-oil), serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, provide sealing to prevent leaks, protect against rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber. Composition of automotive engine oil: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties. Additives are used to compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, as well as to impart certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.
