What is Waste Engine Oil Recycled For?
1 Answers
Recycled waste engine oil can be refined into finished gasoline and diesel. It can also be re-refined into engine oil. Reasons for engine oil deterioration: Deposits from wear particles generated by mechanical friction, lacquer films formed by high-temperature oxidation during combustion, deposits of gum and carbon, dust infiltrating from the external environment, acidic substances generated during combustion, clogged crankcase ventilation systems, poor oil cooling, and natural formation of gum due to oil heating. Functions of engine oil: When the automotive lubrication system operates normally, engine oil continuously circulates within the engine, providing forced lubrication to all moving friction surfaces and carrying away wear particles and frictional heat. By effectively splashing onto the cylinder walls, it ensures the sealing and lubrication functions of piston rings and cylinder walls under high temperature and pressure.
