What Causes Poor Acceleration and Dullness After an Oil Change?
1 Answers
It may be caused by overfilling or underfilling the oil. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine Lubrication System: If the engine lubrication system has not been cleaned for a long time and is dirty with many deposits, changing to new oil will flush out some impurities suspended in the oil, potentially clogging the oil filter and causing insufficient power. Changing the oil once will make the system cleaner and improve performance. 2. Oil Viscosity Grade: Regarding oil viscosity grade classification, the standard of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is generally used. Car owners can choose the oil based on their vehicle's operating temperature. For example, SAE 15W-40, 10W-40, or 5W-50. The smaller the number before the W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, providing better protection during cold engine starts. The number after W indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance.
