1 Answers
Symptoms of low engine oil in a car are as follows: 1. Poor lubrication in the splash lubrication areas inside the engine. 2. Causes inadequate lubrication on the engine's friction surfaces, leading to abnormal vibrations, reduced power, and in severe cases, may result in engine bearing seizure. 3. Causes malfunction of the engine's variable timing solenoid valve, resulting in inaccurate control of the engine's intake and exhaust valves, leading to operational abnormalities, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Related information is as follows: 1. Engine oil is the lubricant used by the engine, composed of base oil and additives. It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. 2. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.
