What Causes High Engine Oil Temperature?
1 Answers
The reasons for high engine oil temperature are as follows: High engine oil temperature may be caused by insufficient oil volume or excessively high oil level; malfunction of the oil pump, or insufficient oil pumping; excessively high cooling water temperature, blockage of the oil cooler; or blockage of the oil filter. Below is relevant information about automotive engine oil: Introduction to Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricating oil (English name: Engine-oil), with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Composition of Engine Oil: Engine oil is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. It consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.
