Should I Repair If One Drop of Engine Oil Leaks Per Day?
1 Answers
One drop of engine oil leaking per day should be repaired. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is hailed as the 'blood' of automobiles. Engine oil consists of two components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, imparting certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil. 2. Classification: Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oil and synthetic oil based on their base oil (vegetable oil is not considered due to its scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic.
