What are the consequences of not changing engine oil in a car?
1 Answers
If engine oil is not changed for a long time, it will become watery and lose its sealing function. It will also contain a large amount of metal debris and sludge. The heat absorption and thermal conductivity of oil are far superior to water. If the oil deteriorates severely, its cooling function will be greatly reduced. The viscosity of engine oil can form a protective film between parts, ensuring smooth operation and reducing wear. Deteriorated oil largely loses this function.
