Why is it necessary to change engine oil frequently?
1 Answers
Frequent oil changes are necessary because: If the oil is not changed for a long time, its sealing, lubrication, and cooling functions will be greatly reduced. The impurities in the oil can wear internal components, thereby affecting the engine's lifespan and making the engine more prone to malfunctions. During normal engine operation, the oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various engine components. This oil film prevents direct contact and friction between the engine parts. Engine oil, or lubricating oil, plays crucial roles in the engine, including lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, reducing wear, dampening vibrations, and preventing rust and corrosion.
