Why does the Geely Binyue require 6 liters of engine oil?
1 Answers
Geely Binyue requires 6 liters of engine oil because its oil tank capacity can accommodate 6L. When adding engine oil, it is essential to ensure the oil level remains between the min and max marks on the dipstick. The oil level must not fall below the min mark or exceed the max mark. If it's below min, it may cause insufficient lubrication, accelerating engine wear. If it exceeds max, it will increase engine operating resistance, leading to reduced power and higher fuel consumption. Below are the functions of engine oil: 1. Friction reduction: A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding components, thereby reducing wear. 2. Sealing: Engine oil forms a seal between piston rings and pistons, minimizing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering. 3. Rust prevention: Lubricating oil adheres to component surfaces, protecting them from contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 4. Cushioning: When cylinder pressure rises sharply, suddenly intensifying the load on pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings, the lubricated bearing transmission cushions the impact load. 5. Cleaning: High-quality engine oil circulates carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles back to the oil tank, flushing away contaminants generated on component surfaces through oil flow.
