What is the function of oil additive?
1 Answers
Oil additive functions include: 1. Protecting the engine; 2. Significantly reducing wear; 3. Preventing engine overheating and extending engine lifespan; 4. Enhancing the overall performance of lubricating oil, with notable improvements for both synthetic and mineral oils, boosting engine power and fuel economy, ensuring smoother engine operation, cleaning the engine, and preventing carbon deposit formation. Oil additive is a type of engine oil additive, composed of viscosity index improvers and anti-wear additives, or a combination of both. Qualified engine oils already contain such additives, along with additional detergents and dispersants. Typically, the main additives in gasoline and diesel engine oils are detergents, which prevent carbon deposits inside the engine and constitute a significant proportion of the additives.
