What is the standard for engine oil consumption?
1 Answers
Oil and fuel consumption standards should not exceed 0.3%. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Mineral oil: Derived from crude oil, mineral oil typically has very low production costs. However, as mineral oil base is prone to oxidation, various imported additives are incorporated. Its service life is approximately six months. 2. Semi-synthetic oil: Although more expensive to produce, it offers excellent oxidation resistance, making it a high-quality long-lasting oil with a service life of about twelve months. Considering the balance between price and quality, semi-synthetic oil has the widest range of applications. 3. Fully synthetic oil: This is chemically synthesized engine oil that can maintain lubrication even when the base oil fails.
