What Happens When Oil Pressure Is Too High?

[McJessica]

Excessive oil pressure can easily cause oil leakage faults in the engine. Here is an introduction about engine oil: 1. Engine Oil: Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts and to remove sludge from the engine. 2. Hazards: Excessive oil pressure can sometimes cause the oil filter to burst or detach, leading to significant oil leakage, which is highly dangerous during engine operation. If not detected in time, it can cause severe damage to the engine. 3. Oil Grades: Numbers like 20, 30, 40, and 50 indicate summer-grade oils, where higher numbers represent higher viscosity and suitability for higher temperatures. Numbers followed by 'W' (e.g., 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W) indicate winter-grade oils.
