1 Answers
Castrol engine oil includes Edge, Magnatec, GTX Gold, GTX Silver, and GX. The functions of engine oil: It circulates carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine components back to the oil pan, flushing away contaminants generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. The method to check the engine oil level is: Park the vehicle on a level surface; after 10 minutes, pull out the dipstick; hold the dipstick perpendicular to the ground to check the oil level. Effects of overfilling engine oil: increases resistance to crankshaft rotation, affecting power output; reduces engine power; worsens exhaust emissions and damages the catalytic converter; may lead to engine oil leaks.
