What is spow20 engine oil?
1 Answers
spow20 engine oil belongs to the highest grade of engine oil, and many Japanese cars use this type of oil. The functions of engine oil are as follows: 1. Lubrication: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing bush. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of the relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. 2. Auxiliary cooling: Engine oil has a relatively low specific heat value and is located inside the engine, so it does not inherently have a cooling effect. However, during engine operation, the heat generated by fuel combustion can be carried back to the oil tank by the engine oil and then dissipated into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. The actual cooling effect is provided by the water (or antifreeze liquid) outside the engine casing. 3. Cleaning: High-quality engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation. The flow of the lubricating oil washes away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts.
