What does 7% remaining oil life mean for the GL8?

[JourneyDella]

The remaining oil life is determined by mechanical operation conditions, and there is no specific numerical value to measure its lifespan. You can use the dipstick to take out some oil and place a drop on a tissue paper to observe its diffusion. If the black area is relatively large and the light yellow ring is narrow, it indicates that the oil needs to be changed. Other considerations when adding engine oil: 1. Higher viscosity oil does not necessarily provide better engine protection: Oil with higher viscosity not only negatively impacts overall fuel consumption but also fails to protect the engine effectively. Another function of engine oil is cooling and heat dissipation. When high-viscosity oil is used blindly, the engine's oil cooling performance will inevitably weaken. 2. Engine oils should not be mixed: The additive components in oils from different manufacturers are completely different. The chemical compositions of these additives can vary significantly, not just between different brands but even within the same brand's different product lines. When oils from two different brands are mixed, chemical reactions can occur under the engine's high temperatures, such as the formation of flocculent substances in the oil or an increase in viscosity.
