What are the consequences of mixing engine oils?
1 Answers
Consequences of mixing engine oils: 1. Mixing different brands of engine oil may cause adverse reactions, leading to oil turbidity and quality degradation, while also affecting the oil's service life to some extent; 2. Mixing different grades of engine oil will alter the oil's viscosity value. If the mixed oil has too low viscosity, it will reduce the oil's protective capability for the engine. If the mixed oil has too high viscosity, it will impact the engine's power, fuel consumption, and other aspects. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption and buffering for the engine.
