What does 'one oil' mean?
2 Answers
'One oil' represents one liter of oil. Generally, when people say 'a few oils,' they are referring to how many liters of oil a car consumes per 100 kilometers. If there are no bad driving habits during the journey, consuming around 7 liters of oil per 100 kilometers is considered relatively fuel-efficient. For SUV models, consuming around 10 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers is also considered fuel-efficient. Methods to improve fuel efficiency are as follows: 1. Drive at a constant speed: Control the vehicle's speed and avoid sudden braking; 2. Avoid opening windows at high speeds: Opening windows at high speeds increases fuel consumption; 3. Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it is correct: Both under-inflation and over-inflation can increase fuel consumption, so it's important to check tire pressure periodically; 4. Pay attention to transmission maintenance: Always use the correct transmission oil for your vehicle. Transmission oil not only lubricates but also helps in torque transmission, so it should be replaced regularly.
I've been driving for decades. 'One oil' is a common term in our veteran driver circles, meaning one liter of fuel, especially when discussing fuel consumption. For example, 'eight oils per hundred kilometers' means consuming eight liters of gasoline per 100 km. Fuel consumption is quite important as it's closely related to driving habits: aggressive acceleration and sudden braking in traffic jams can increase consumption from 8L to 12L per 100 km, and more traffic lights in cities mean higher consumption. Cruise control on highways can reduce it to 6-7L, while underinflated tires or dirty air filters may add 1-2L. Choosing between 92 or 95 octane gasoline depends on engine requirements - higher octane doesn't necessarily mean better fuel economy. Fuel-saving tips: anticipate road conditions to brake less; regularly maintain oxygen sensors and spark plugs; open windows at high speeds increase air resistance and fuel consumption (better to use AC). Understanding the concept of 'one oil' helps calculate monthly fuel budgets - at 8 yuan per liter, 8L/100km means about 60+ yuan expenditure. Developing good habits saves money and is eco-friendly.
