Some drivers are considering switching from more expensive motor oil to cheaper lubricants. But how? stated According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Nikita Rodionov, technical director of the international network of franchised car service centers Fit Service, it is necessary to fill the engine with oil recommended by the automaker.
“The answer is simple: you need to fill the engine with exactly what the automaker recommends. We refer to the regulations and select the oil strictly in accordance with them. “There can be no changes or experiments here,” Rodionov said.
It is important to remember the climatic conditions in which the car is operated. If the region does not experience frosts worse than -25, and the automaker allows the use of mineral oil, then you can switch to it. In all other cases, no, the expert warns.
Earlier, technical director of the international franchising network of car service centers Fit Service Nikita Rodionov statedA high oil level in a car’s engine is as dangerous as a low level and can be an indicator of various malfunctions in the vehicle.
Also in winter, when the driver makes a short trip, it is possible that the engine oil level is high. In this case, the injectors supply too much fuel, which partly ends up in the pan and no longer has time to evaporate.
