1 Answers
Engine oil can be categorized into summer oil, winter oil, and all-season oil. Therefore, the type of engine oil used for a gasoline generator should be determined based on the generator's model and the regional environment where it is used. It is best to follow the type specified in the vehicle's user manual. Below is an introduction to engine oil: Definition: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10 (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber, earning it the nickname 'the blood of the car.' Composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, providing new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.
