What Causes Engine Oil to Turn into a Mud-like Substance?
1 Answers
Introduction to the reasons why engine oil turns into a mud-like substance: 1. The vehicle has not been maintained for a long time, and the oil deteriorates after prolonged use. 2. The quality of the oil added during vehicle maintenance does not meet the required standards, and it turns into a sludge state after high-load operation of the vehicle. 3. The engine itself has a fault, and impurities (such as gasoline or water) enter the oil during engine operation, causing the oil to deteriorate. Precautions for using a car engine are as follows: 1. Avoid driving in neutral gear: The engine itself has a deceleration fuel cut-off function, and driving in neutral is not conducive to fuel economy. 2. Pay attention to observation during normal vehicle use: If oil is found on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leak and communicate with the car 4S store in time to eliminate potential safety hazards. 3. For vehicles equipped with turbochargers: Do not turn off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing a slope; let it idle for 10 minutes before shutting down. Vehicles with turbochargers form carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated vehicles. 4. When brake fluid is mixed with or absorbs water, or if impurities or sediments are found in the brake fluid, it should be replaced or carefully filtered in time. Otherwise, it will cause insufficient braking pressure and affect braking performance.
