What are the effects of too much or too little engine oil on the engine?
1 Answers
The effects of too much or too little engine oil on the engine are: 1. Too much engine oil: During operation, various components of the engine will experience intense agitation, increasing internal power loss and causing more oil to splash onto the cylinder walls, leading to oil burning and exhaust issues; 2. Too little engine oil: Friction between bearings and journals may suffer from poor lubrication due to insufficient oil, accelerating wear and even causing bearing seizure accidents. Engine oil, or lubricating oil, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, adding certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.
