What kind of oil is used in the Honda K24Z1 engine?
1 Answers
Honda K24Z1 engine uses 5W-20 oil. The specific functions of the oil are as follows: Shock absorption: When the pressure at the cylinder port of the engine rises sharply, the load on the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings suddenly increases. This load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, providing a cushioning effect against the impact load. Rust and corrosion prevention: The lubricating oil can adhere to the surface of parts, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. Lubrication and friction reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear on the parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of the relatively sliding parts, reducing wear. Cooling: The oil can carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator to cool the engine.
