What are the main functions of the engine lubrication system?
1 Answers
The main functions of the engine lubrication system: 1. Lubrication: Engine oil forms an oil film between moving parts, reducing friction resistance and power loss, and minimizing component wear; 2. Cooling: The fluidity of engine oil helps dissipate heat from engine components, preventing overheating and potential damage; 3. Cleaning: Circulating engine oil carries away metal particles generated during operation, dust from the atmosphere, and solid residues from fuel combustion, preventing abrasive wear between parts; 4. Sealing: The viscosity of engine oil allows it to adhere to the surfaces of moving parts, enhancing sealing effectiveness and reducing gas leakage.
