What are the effects of adding too much engine oil?
1 Answers
The effects of adding too much engine oil include: 1. Intense agitation between engine components, leading to excessive engine load and power loss; 2. Splashing onto the cylinder walls and entering the intake system through the crankcase ventilation system, causing oil burning issues. Solutions for overfilling engine oil are: 1. Removing the oil drain plug to drain excess oil; 2. Using an oil pump to extract the excess. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricants.
