Different car models have varying intervals for the first oil change, generally specified within the range of 5,000 kilometers/six months or 10,000 kilometers/one year. Below is a detailed introduction about car engine oil: 1. Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine oil), plays multiple roles such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. 2. Composition and Function: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.
