What are the effects of insufficient engine oil?
1 Answers
The effects of insufficient engine oil include: 1. Poor lubrication of various component surfaces, increasing frictional resistance and accelerating component wear, which in severe cases may lead to engine failure; 2. Increased engine noise. Automotive engine oil, also known as engine lubricating oil, serves the following purposes: 1. Lubrication and anti-wear; 2. Assisting in cooling and temperature reduction; 3. Cleaning and purification; 4. Sealing and leak prevention; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention; 6. Shock absorption and buffering. The composition of automotive engine oil consists of: 1. Base oil: The main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties; 2. Additives: These compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance.
