10w30 engine oil and 5w30 engine oil differ in their temperature adaptability: 10w30 engine oil is suitable for temperatures above -18 degrees Celsius, while 5w30 engine oil is suitable for temperatures below -18 degrees Celsius. The functions of engine oil include: lubrication, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, shock absorption, and wear resistance. The method for adding engine oil is as follows: 1. Place a container: Lift the car, remove the protective plate, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain screw. 2. Check: Loosen the oil drain screw, use an air gun to blow into the oil filler port for two minutes, tighten the oil drain screw after draining, and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks. 3. Add engine oil: Reinstall the protective plate and lower the car, then use a funnel to pour the engine oil into the filler port.
