How often is the truck oil changed? How to choose different types of oil?
Oil, also known as engine oil, is an indispensable oil on the vehicle, its role in addition to the well-known lubrication and wear reduction, but also can play an auxiliary cooling, sealing leakage, rust, corrosion, shock buffering and other functions, if not it, the engine is easy to appear gas, rust, melting and even direct scrap.
Like other oil on the vehicle, the oil also has an oil change cycle, and it is not a one-time addition that can be completely replaced, because the oil will also be oxidized, acidified, dissolved sludge, etc., during the use of the oil, which will not only make the oil lose its protective effect on the engine, but also corroded the engine, blocked the oil pipeline, lubrication failure, heat dissipation failure, etc., causing the engine to be scrapped.
Of course, the oil is not changed more often, the better, after all, the cost of the car is also a major issue of concern to owners. Under normal circumstances, the oil change cycle of the oil is closely related to the engine brand, oil quality, vehicle use conditions, etc.
DARO trailer axles recommend that if the owner is using original oil, then follow the vehicle's maintenance manual to operate, or refer to the service station recommended oil change mileage. If the owner uses non-original oil, it can be properly referred to the oil change cycle marked by the oil, and combined with their actual use conditions to determine the oil change cycle:
There are many indicators for the purchase of oil, such as oil grade, viscosity, flash point, sulfate composition, pour point, total base value, etc., which makes many owners do not know how to choose. In fact, we only need to focus on the grade and viscosity on the oil packaging.
Under normal circumstances, the oil grade mark is API, which is the abbreviation of the American Petroleum Institute, the label behind the API is the quality grade of the oil; The series beginning with "S" is used for gasoline engines, and the series beginning with "C" is diesel engine oil, if "S" and "C" exist at the same time, it means that this is the general oil for diesel and diesel. Among them, diesel oil can be divided into CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4, etc., the closer the letters are, the higher the quality grade, and there is no problem with CK-4 for diesel engines in general.
Oil viscosity mark is SAE, is the abbreviation of the American Association of Automotive Engineers, SAE behind the label indicates the viscosity value of the oil, such as "SAE 5W-40", where "W" is short for "WINTER", representing this type of oil is suitable for use at low temperatures, without "W" oil is suitable for use at high temperatures; The number in front of "W" represents the pour point temperature, which is simply the icing point temperature, the smaller the number, the better the low temperature flow of the oil, the lower the temperature available; The number behind the "W" represents the motion viscosity of the oil at 100 ° C, the higher the value, the higher the viscosity, but this is only a symbol to distinguish the viscosity of the oil, not the same as the ambient temperature, which the car pays particular attention to.
When choosing oil, it is generally no problem to choose the oil model given in the vehicle manual, of course, try to choose a more reliable brand, don't just want to be cheap, if you are really not assured, you can directly choose the original oil, which is also a saving effort and insurance practice.
