What are the reasons for high oil temperature in Magotan?
2 Answers
The reasons for high oil temperature in Magotan are as follows: 1. Insufficient oil volume: High oil temperature may be caused by insufficient oil volume or excessively high oil level. 2. Oil pump failure: Malfunction of the oil pump or insufficient oil pumping can lead to high oil temperature. 3. High coolant temperature: Overheating of the coolant, blockage of the oil cooler, or clogged oil filter can also cause high oil temperature. Additional information about engine oil: 1. Functions: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide cushioning and shock absorption for the engine. 2. Composition: 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, providing certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.
I've been driving a Magotan, and last time on a long trip, the oil temperature suddenly spiked, which really scared me. After researching a lot, the reasons are usually caused by engine overheating, such as issues with the cooling system: the radiator being clogged or dirty, the fan not working, or the water pump failing; it could also be due to old, thick oil not circulating well, or insufficient oil level slowing down heat absorption. Additionally, prolonged high-speed driving in summer or heavy towing can also raise the temperature. High temperature is no small matter—it can accelerate oil breakdown, engine wear, or even cause a breakdown. I suggest pulling over immediately, turning off the engine to cool down, and not opening the hood as it might be too hot to touch. Then, check if the coolant level is adequate and if the oil level is normal. Regular maintenance and using high-quality oil can help prevent this.
