What is the minimum oil level for a car?
1 Answers
The oil dipstick has two marking lines at its front end, and the oil level should not fall below the lower marking line. Insufficient oil can lead to cylinder scoring, poor lubrication, and increased component wear, while excessive oil can increase operational resistance. Additional information: 1. Excessive oil increases the operational resistance of the car, leading to adverse effects such as sluggish performance, muffled operation, and increased noise. 2. Excessive oil is more prone to temperature rise during operation, making it deteriorate faster and reducing its protective performance. 3. Excessive oil can create bubbles during component operation, which, when entering the lubrication or hydraulic systems, can increase wear and reduce performance. 4. During engine operation, the crankshaft and connecting rod ends generate intense agitation, not only increasing internal power loss but also causing more oil to splash onto the cylinder walls, leading to oil burning and exhaust faults.
