Car engine oil 10w40 refers to the SAE standard viscosity rating, and its functions are: 1. Reduce friction between cylinder liners, piston rings, and camshafts; 2. Form a sealing ring between piston rings and pistons to minimize gas leakage and prevent external contaminants from entering; 3. The oil adheres to component surfaces to prevent contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases; 4. Alleviate the increased load on pistons, piston skirts, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings; 5. Flush away carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine components through the flow of lubricating oil.
