Where to Add Engine Oil in a Car?
1 Answers
The engine oil should be added through the engine oil filler port. Open the engine hood, unscrew the oil cap counterclockwise, and pour in the prepared engine oil. When adding oil, ensure it matches the oil type specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Continue adding until the oil level reaches the full mark on the dipstick. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing against leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, as well as shock absorption. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil forms the primary constituent of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance any deficiencies in the base oil's performance.
