Just changed the oil but the oil light is on? It might be the computer performing a self-check. Here is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves multiple functions for the engine including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance limitations of the base oil, providing additional functionalities. 2. Classification: Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oil (vegetable oils are not considered due to their scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic oils.
