Engine oil filler port is generally located on the left side of the engine. Under the yellow circular cap on the engine cylinder head is the oil filler port. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive engine oil: 1. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of base oil performance, endowing it with certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil. 2. The engine is the heart of a car, containing many metal surfaces that move against each other. These components operate at high speeds, in harsh environments, with working temperatures reaching 400°C to 600°C. Under such severe operating conditions, only qualified lubricating oil can reduce engine component wear and extend service life.
