What kind of oil should be added to a Polo?
1 Answers
For a Polo, add the type of oil as indicated in the car's manual. Below are specific details about car oil: 1. The oil level should generally be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. Try not to let it go below the middle mark, as a low oil level can reduce lubrication effectiveness. Never exceed the upper limit on the dipstick, as this can create resistance to the crankshaft's rotation, affecting power output and increasing fuel consumption. 2. Engine oil, or engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber. 3. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, while the additives compensate for and improve any shortcomings in the base oil's performance.
