Is the shaking during cold start related to engine oil?
1 Answers
Shaking during cold start that subsides after a while is related to engine oil. Solutions for shaking: Due to gravity, engine oil tends to settle in the oil pan after prolonged parking, resulting in insufficient lubrication and low oil temperature. The shaking will disappear after the engine warms up. Alternatively, using cold-start-improved engine oil can help. Functions of engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple purposes including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component determining the fundamental properties of the lubricant, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance of the base oil, providing additional characteristics. Additives are an essential part of engine oil.
