Why does the Civic's 47-liter tank only require 37 liters to fill up?
1 Answers
The reason why the Civic's 47-liter tank only requires 37 liters to fill up is that there is typically about 10 liters of engine oil remaining in the car when the system prompts for refueling. Therefore, only 37 liters need to be added to reach full capacity. Below is detailed information about automotive engine oil: Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components - base oil and additives. Base oil forms the primary constituent of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties. Additives are used to compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance while imparting new characteristics, making them an essential component of lubricants.
