About the oil change. People who don’t understand cars don’t know the oil change cycle. How to change the oil? If the owner remembers these 3 standards, he can change the oil by himself.
1: Expiration date. Oil is a consumable, and the longer it is used, the worse the effect will be. If it is a fully synthetic oil, it may have been used for a year, and it needs to be replaced. For semi-synthetic oil, the replacement cycle will become shorter. , we should replace it every 9 months, and finally the mineral oil, the replacement cycle is the shortest, and it needs to be replaced every 6 months. Different models have different requirements for engine oil, so we should pay attention when buying a car.
2: Mileage. Different types of oil, the standard of replacement cycle is also related to the mileage. Generally speaking, the worst mineral oil needs to be replaced every 5,000 kilometers, while semi-synthetic oil is generally replaced every 7,000 kilometers. , Fully synthetic oil is changed every 10,000 kilometers. If it is a fully synthetic oil, it has been used for a year, but it has not reached 10,000 kilometers, and the oil still needs to be changed.
3: Specifications of the engine. The mainstream models on the market are generally equipped with turbocharged engines or naturally aspirated engines, and different engine specifications have a great impact on the oil replacement cycle. Generally speaking, turbocharged engines have more stringent requirements for oil. Even if fully synthetic oil is used, the oil needs to be replaced when the driving mileage reaches 8,000 kilometers, and if it is mineral oil, the replacement cycle cannot exceed 4000 km.
When car owners use their cars, they should also keep in mind the replacement cycle of the oil, because when the oil has no way to lubricate the engine, the When running, it will be subject to a certain resistance, resulting in increased fuel consumption.
