Will not changing the engine oil for a long time affect acceleration?
1 Answers
Not changing the engine oil for a long time will not affect acceleration. Potential issues from prolonged non-replacement: The oil may deteriorate. Deteriorated oil significantly loses its lubricating properties, leading to sharply increased wear between components. An excessively worn engine can cause symptoms such as weak acceleration during driving, increased engine noise, and engine overheating. How often should car engine oil be changed: Conventional mineral oil is recommended to be changed every 5,000 kilometers. Semi-synthetic oil has a recommended replacement interval of 7,500 kilometers or approximately 7-8 months, while full synthetic oil can be used for 10,000 kilometers or about one year before needing replacement.
