Why does the oil life indicator not change after an oil change?
1 Answers
After changing the engine oil, the reason the oil life indicator does not change is because the oil life reset operation was not performed. Here are some details about engine oil: 1. Function: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while the additives compensate for and improve any shortcomings in the base oil's performance, giving it new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of engine oil.
