What type of engine oil is best for the Koleos?
1 Answers
The Koleos can use engine oil with viscosity grades of 10W-40 and 5W-30. Approximately 5 liters of engine oil is required for the Koleos. Engine oil, also known as Engine-oil in English, has a density of about 0.91kg×10 cubic meters. It serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption, earning it the nickname 'the blood of the car'. Below are some components of engine oil: 1. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil. 2. Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic. Lubricating base oils are mainly categorized into mineral base oils and synthetic base oils. Mineral base oils are widely used and account for a large proportion (about 95% or more), but in some applications, products blended with synthetic base oils must be used.
