What is the oil capacity of the Camry in liters?
1 Answers
The oil capacity of the Camry is 4.5L. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Below are the key functions of engine oil: 1. Friction Reduction: A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. 2. Sealing Function: Engine oil forms a sealing ring between the piston rings and pistons, minimizing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering. 3. Rust Prevention: Lubricating oil adheres to the surfaces of parts, protecting them from contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 4. Shock Absorption: When the pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings, the lubricated transmission through the bearings helps cushion the impact load. 5. Cleaning Function: 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 lubricant also washes away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts.
