What is the normal oil temperature for a car?
1 Answers
The normal oil temperature for a car is between 70 to 90 degrees Celsius, with some local areas being slightly higher, but it should not exceed the water temperature. Additionally, at higher speeds, the temperature may rise relatively higher, reaching 100 to 110 degrees Celsius. However, if there is a consistent tendency for the temperature to exceed 120 degrees Celsius, an inspection is necessary. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions for the engine, including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, providing certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of the lubricant.
