What kind of engine oil should be used for turbocharged engine maintenance?
1 Answers
It is essential to choose the best synthetic oil, and the kinematic viscosity of the oil should preferably be selected according to the guidance of the maintenance manual. The following is the relevant content about engine oil: 1. The main factors affecting the shelf life of engine oil: The main factor affecting the shelf life of engine oil is the storage conditions. The greater the temperature difference and humidity during storage, the faster the oil deteriorates. For every 10-degree Celsius increase in temperature, the oil's lifespan is halved. 2. Classification of engine oil: The shelf life of mineral oil, synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil varies, generally ranging from 3 to 5 years, provided that the oil is unopened. Opened oil is prone to oxidation upon contact with air, thereby shortening its shelf life. Once oxidized, the oil becomes turbid and unclear.
