GF-X grade is an engine oil quality certification standard established by the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee. This standard places greater emphasis on fuel economy, hence generally requiring lower viscosity. The number following GF is generally considered to correspond to national emission standards, with GF-6 commonly referred to as China VI. Function of engine oil: The engine is an indispensable part of a vehicle, and engine oil is an essential component for the engine, highlighting its crucial role in automobiles. Timely replacement of engine oil: Regarding engine oil requirements, each vehicle model has its own compatible oil specifications, which can be found in the car's user manual. If the engine oil has been used for an extended period, it is imperative for the owner to replace it promptly. Prolonged use causes the oil's viscosity to decrease, leading to a corresponding reduction in lubrication effectiveness. This diminishes the oil's ability to lubricate and protect the engine, underscoring the importance of timely replacement.

Why Does an Engine Get Scrapped When It Takes in Water?

There are two scenarios where an engine gets scrapped due to water intake: 1. Exhaust pipe submerged underwater: If the exhaust pipe is underwater and the throttle is abruptly released while accelerating, water can be sucked into the combustion chamber through the exhaust valves, leading to engine failure. 2. Water entering through the intake: If water enters through the intake, the engine may simply stall. After drying the air filter and throttle body, it can usually be restarted within half an hour or so. Relevant information about engines is as follows: 1. Engine: An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. 2. Power unit: For example, an internal combustion engine typically converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term 'engine' can refer to either the power generation device or the entire machine including the power unit.
