What Happens When Engine Oil is Insufficient?
1 Answers
Insufficient engine oil will lead to poor lubrication on the surfaces of various components, increased friction resistance, and accelerated wear of parts. It can also reduce the engine's cooling and heat dissipation capacity, causing internal overheating, which may further result in bearing bush burning and cylinder scoring. The following is an introduction to engine oil: 1. Engine oil is the lubricant used in engines, composed of base oil and additives. 2. With a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), engine oil plays multiple roles such as lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car.
