What model of engine oil is used for diesel engines?
1 Answers
Diesel engines use engine oil of model 10W-40 or 10W-30. The following is a detailed introduction about the functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication: Engine oil is one of the important components in car maintenance. The engine forms an oil film through the engine oil to provide lubrication. 2. Reduce friction: It changes dry metal friction into liquid friction between oil layers, reducing friction resistance and minimizing wear on components. 3. Cooling: Engine oil also serves functions such as cooling, cleaning, sealing, rust prevention, and eliminating impact loads. Additional information: When the car's engine oil is insufficient, the car's dashboard usually lights up an icon—the engine oil pressure warning light—to alert the owner of insufficient oil. When the owner notices low oil levels, it is essential to promptly replenish the vehicle with the appropriate engine oil.
