Why Does Engine Oil Run Low After High-Speed Driving?
4 Answers
Running low on engine oil after high-speed driving is due to the thorough splashing of oil during high-speed operation, and some oil cannot return to the oil pan after parking. Here is an introduction to engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil. 2. Contains: It mainly contains anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. 3. Function: The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts, and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine. It also neutralizes acids produced from fuel and lubricant oxidation (detergents), improves the sealing of piston rings, and cools the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts.
