What Are the Consequences of Excessive Engine Oil Temperature?
1 Answers
The consequences of excessive engine oil temperature include harming the engine, causing localized overheating, and reducing oil viscosity. Below are the specific details: 1. Harm to the engine: When the engine oil temperature is too high, it will affect the normal operation of the engine and cause certain damage. The water temperature mainly indicates the thermal condition of the engine combustion and high-temperature components such as pistons and cylinder walls. 2. Localized overheating: Due to poor heat conduction, localized overheating can occur, especially in parts far from the radiator in the cooling water circulation direction and structurally weak areas, leading to localized deformation, cracks, and burn damage. 3. Low oil viscosity: This results in reduced oil viscosity, oil burn-off, destruction of the oil film in the engine's lubrication points, accelerated wear of components, and in severe cases, can cause bearing seizure or cylinder scoring.
