When should the oil in a minivan be changed?
1 Answers
Minivan oil needs to be changed every 5,000 kilometers. Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts and to remove sludge and varnish from the engine. A minivan is a general term for vehicles that do not have protruding engine compartments or luggage compartments at the front and rear, resembling a loaf of bread. The characteristics of a minivan's shape include a mainly rectangular body, unlike sedans, without protruding engine or luggage compartments; it has more internal seats and larger space.
