Is it normal for the Magotan engine oil temperature to be 120℃?
1 Answers
An engine oil temperature of 120℃ in a Magotan is abnormal. The normal operating temperature range for engine oil is generally between 70-90℃. When the oil temperature is excessively high, it is advised that the owner should not continue driving. Effects of excessively high oil temperature: 1. Reduced oil viscosity: This causes the oil viscosity to decrease, leading to oil burning and inability to form an oil film to protect friction surfaces of components, accelerating part aging. The reduced viscosity also weakens sealing performance, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber under pressure, resulting in oil burning. This not only consumes more oil but also prevents complete combustion of gases in the combustion chamber, leading to polluted exhaust emissions. In severe cases, it may cause bearing seizure or cylinder scoring. 2. Power reduction: Excessive engine temperature causes fuel injected into the cylinders to ignite prematurely, reducing compression force and lowering power output. Additionally, thermal expansion of components may cause operational jamming, significantly reducing bearing performance and efficiency, leading to a series of adverse consequences.
